The latest industry-leading 5G connectivity solutions from Inventec, a global leader in cloud computing, wireless communication, intelligent devices, and the Internet of Things, were unveiled today. They are based on Intel's 5G-optimized Processors and Microsoft Azure Private 5G Core. The Azure Marketplace now offers the 5G Private Network Solution and 5G Enabled Digital Twins from Inventec.

 

Organizations can quickly install and manage private 5G networks at the enterprise edge with Azure Private 5G Core. To test how easy, scalable, and secure this deployment was to convert a traditional manufacturing line to a 5G-enabled smart factory, Inventec initially built an Azure private 5G Core network in its Taoyuan facility. 

 

It later learned that this transformation produced a significant return on investment. Inventec created and launched its 5G Future Lab in Taiwan in collaboration with Microsoft and Intel. The 5G Next Lab's objectives are to give Inventec's ecosystem partners a workspace where they can work together on end-to-end industry solutions and to provide a showroom where they can "show and tell" their work. These solutions are all built on Azure Private 5G Core.

 

The partnership between Inventec and Microsoft to develop comprehensive solutions for smart industries serves as the 5G Future Lab's opening demonstration. The solutions combine Microsoft HoloLens, NEXCOM's top-tier AIoT (AI + IoT), Industry 4.0 cross-border integration systems and solutions, and Inventec's 5G private network solutions to create smart factories. With unrivalled customer benefits like hassle-free verification and implementation, quick time to production, and lower total cost of ownership, this integrated solution was initially used by NEXCOM in its own HwaYa factory and will be promoted to other manufacturers.

 

"We are proud to be a decade-long member of Microsoft's rich partner ecosystem. Our cross-domain collaboration with Microsoft ranges from laptops and servers in the IT domain and now to 5G in the CT domain. With the global launch of Microsoft Azure Private 5G Core, Inventec looks forward to onboarding new customers to enjoy all the benefits provided by innovative 5G connectivity at the enterprise edge." said Sam Yeh, executive VP of Inventec Strategy Center, "Inventec believes that working with strong partners like Microsoft best enables us to create new world-class 5G connectivity solutions and smart manufacturing solutions. We really appreciate our close collaboration which gives us unparalleled value not only in providing innovative cloud and connectivity technologies, but also in supporting our go-to-market momentum."

 

"As we power the 5G Next Lab with Inventec, we look forward to exploring the next generation of 5G, IoT, and AI solutions that will have the potential to unlock new and innovative services for enterprises across the world to accelerate their transformation toward Industry 4.0," said Shriraj Gaglani, VP Product Management, Microsoft.
