Boldyn Networks introduces Private 5G as a Service to drive digital transformation

Published

on

LONDON, Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Boldyn Networks (Boldyn) unveiled Private 5G as a Service, a new service offering for enterprise customers that delivers the full power of Private 5G, enhancing digital transformation efforts without the burden of significant investment or maintenance. 

Boldyn, a world-recognised leader in shared networks infrastructure and Europe’s leading private networks provider with more than 60 deployments, is investing 300 million EUR to support the broader adoption of Private Networks worldwide. It has designed its private 5G service to improve safety, increase cybersecurity, and enhance operational efficiency through more accessible and reliable connectivity.

How does it work?

Private 5G as a Service is the first in the industry to offer four tiers of service levels, allowing organisations to customise services to align with their needs, with the convenience of paying in monthly instalments. The tiers, named Innovation, Digitalisation, Automation, and Mission-Critical, range from using wireless technology to test 5G use cases to achieve maximum control over mission-critical objectives. Services include network operations, monitoring, maintenance, annual health checks, and spare parts management.

Private 5G enables connectivity for new technologies like smart machines, AR/VR applications, V2X, robotics, and video capacity. It complements Wi-Fi for reliable outdoor coverage, better handover for moving assets, and increased capacity for data from sensors and cameras, ensuring high uptime for critical devices. This enhances operational efficiency through remote and predictive management and improves safety by reducing the need for physical presence in hazardous locations. Outsourcing Private 5G as a Service allows teams to mitigate large initial costs and focus on core business activities instead of network management.

Boldyn’s new offering ensures peace of mind for enterprise customers by customising technology to meet specific use case requirements. From small hospitals needing reliable diagnostic controls to ports with complex automation needs, Boldyn’s tiered service model simplifies the selection of Private 5G service packages. Designed with enterprise use cases in mind, Boldyn’s unique service tiers match technology with enterprise needs, streamlining the adoption of Private Networks technology and ensuring it delivers tangible business outcomes.

Private 5G restricts unauthorised access increasing cybersecurity and significantly reducing the risk of external threats. It connects numerous people and devices to boost operational efficiency. It facilitates device-to-cloud communication and enhances environmental compliance through automated climate and lighting control. Once attainable only through significant upfront investment, Private 5G as a Service now broadens access to these benefits for more enterprises, paying in manageable monthly instalments.

Speaking on how market trends and demands are driving a significant rise of ‘as a Service’ models, Pablo Tomasi, Principal Analyst, Private Networks at Omdia, said: “According to Omdia 2024 survey data ‘high deployment cost’ is the leading challenge to private network deployment. This means that innovation in business model and a shift to opex-based purchasing is needed to enable more enterprises to start their private networks’ journey.”

Mikko Uusitalo, CEO, Private Networks Europe at Boldyn Networks, said: “This service has revolutionised our value proposition, enabling clients to benefit from a reliable network without the need for significant technology investments upfront. This dedicated service offers substantial savings in terms of time, resources, and finances. We handle network operations, maintenance, and cybersecurity, eliminating the need for in-house capabilities and resources.”

“With decades of experience in designing and deploying private networks, we understand our customers’ desired business outcomes. We’ve seen a significant demand for services that align technology with customers’ specific use case needs. With many customers already opting for monthly payment instalments, we have identified a growing demand for an ‘as a Service’ solution that matches technology with their needs, rather than just pushing 5G to enterprises. We are committed to making Private Networks more accessible by funding digital transformation enterprise projects. This commitment, combined with our range of service levels, now makes Private 5G accessible to a wide array of organisations.” Adds Uusitalo.

The Port of Kemi in Finland is among the first European organisations to utilise Private 5G as a Service for various use case scenarios. Markku Rautio, CEO at the Port of Kemi, said: “Boldyn has played a crucial role in driving digital transformation at our port. Their solutions have enabled us to address real-time vessel and cargo management challenges, particularly those posed by extreme weather conditions. This has significantly optimised the movements and wait times of vessels coming into the port. By opting for a service-based subscription, we have seamlessly integrated this technology, benefiting from Boldyn’s expert consultancy, management, and maintenance, with complete peace of mind.”

Dr. van Belle to guide scientific exploration and foster innovation in the next era of astronomical research

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Lowell Observatory is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Gerard van Belle as the new Director of Science. Van Belle, who has been an astronomer at the observatory since 2011, has been serving as the interim Director of Science.

In his new role, van Belle will lead a diverse team of astronomers and planetary scientists. He will spearhead the observatory’s new Science Vision, which focuses on advancing research capabilities and implementing cutting-edge technological improvements supporting Lowell’s leadership in astronomical research.

Under his leadership, the science department will continue to advance Lowell Observatory’s mission to pursue the study of astronomy, including the study of our solar system and its evolution, and to conduct pure research in astrophysical phenomena.

Van Belle’s own research focuses on fundamental stellar parameters, including the sizes, shapes, masses, distances, and temperatures of various types of stars. He is also renowned for his expertise in optical and near-infrared astronomical interferometry.

He earned his bachelor’s degree in physics from Whitman College in 1990, followed by a master’s degree from The Johns Hopkins University in 1993, and a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Wyoming in 1996.

Throughout his career, van Belle has been instrumental in the development and commissioning of major optical interferometers worldwide, including the Palomar Testbed Interferometer, the Keck Interferometer, and the Very Large Telescope Interferometer. His pioneering work in stellar surface imaging earned him the inaugural Edward Stone Award for Outstanding Research Publication at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2002.

In 2011, van Belle joined Lowell Observatory’s science staff, where he applied high-resolution astronomical techniques to detect nearby exoplanets and map stellar surfaces. He served as the Director of the Navy Precision Optical Interferometer (NPOI) in Flagstaff, Arizona, from 2017 to 2018, and subsequently as its Chief Scientist until 2022.

Notably, van Belle was among the astronomers who voted against the definition of ‘planet’ advanced during the 2006 International Astronomical Union (IAU) conference in Prague, which relegated Pluto to being a ‘dwarf planet’ (which according to the IAU resolution is not a planet).

His extensive experience and dedication to advancing astronomical research make him a valuable leader for Lowell Observatory’s scientific endeavors.

“I am honored to take on this role at such a pivotal time for Lowell Observatory,” said van Belle. “Our Science Vision will guide us in exploring new frontiers in astronomy while strengthening our commitment to public engagement and education.”

Executive Director Dr. Amanda Bosh expressed her confidence in van Belle’s leadership: “Gerard’s extensive experience and dedication to our mission make him the ideal person to lead our scientific endeavors. I look forward to working closely with him as we embark on this exciting new chapter for Lowell Observatory.”
