AWS Private 5G Documentation

AWS Private 5G enables enterprises to set up, deploy, operate, and scale private cellular networks. AWS Private 5G provides the hardware and software for 4G LTE mobile networks, helps automate setup, and scales capacity on demand.

Integrated hardware and software

AWS Private 5G delivers, provisions, and maintains all the pre-integrated hardware, mobile network core and RAN software, and SIM cards needed to deploy and operate a private mobile network.

CBRS spectrum

AWS Private 5G uses Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) General Authorized Access (GAA) spectrum tier in the US. Integration with the Spectrum Access System (SAS) provider is built into the service and managed by AWS on your behalf.

When the hardware arrives at your location, you will activate the radio unit by registering it with SAS by using AWS Private 5G APIs or the console. You must have a certified professional installer (CPI) certification from an approved organization to certify the location of the radio units.

Device policy management

AWS Private 5G integrates with IAM to help you securely manage access between AWS services and the devices in your private mobile network.

Network monitoring

AWS Private 5G publishes metrics to Amazon CloudWatch for network health visibility. In CloudWatch, you can query metrics for AWS Private 5G resources, including network status, the number of connected access points or SIMs, and usage, such as uplink and downlink traffic broken down by network, access point, or SIM.
