Although private networks can be deployed in many ways using variety of technologies, and there are practical examples of cellular as well as other wireless solutions, 5G is becoming one of the most feasible platforms for realizing these special types of networks along with its evolved capabilities and performance. In fact, the 3GPP has formed technical specifications for 5G-based private network architectures, that is, non-public networks (NPN). These variants include totally isolated NPN that enterprises and other entities can deploy and operate, completely outsourced models through network slicing, and partially shared infrastructure models.
