The potential of 5G networks is being explored in industrial settings, though widespread adoption is still emerging. A concept within the realm of 5G is the non-public network (NPN) or campus network designed for industrial applications. However, deploying NPN is costly, posing challenges for small and mid-sized companies. To manage these costs, many organizations will need to share a common NPN. This shared usage brings additional complexity, such as managing network resources and possible interference without detailed knowledge of neighboring companies’ applications.
Therefore, assessing the performance of these networks before installation is critical. To address this need, a platform called Virtual Automation Network Simulation has been developed to ensure that not only the applications of a single company but also applications from multiple companies can efficiently coexist within the network. The platform serves two primary purposes: first, to check if the network can meet the collective application requirements, and second, to suggest adaptations—whether in communication variables or application parameters—when necessary to ensure compatibility and performance. Additionally, the tool provides valuable insights for both entrepreneurs and network operators. It can advise on device capacity, base station placement, and other key network decisions, helping optimize the network performance. The ultimate goal is to make the deployment and management of shared NPN more efficient and reliable, ensuring that industrial applications perform optimally under varying conditions. This presentation describes a developed model for shared networks in industrial parks and presents the initial validation results of its simulation.
