RAD and Druid Software Announce Collaboration on Private 5G

RAD, a global leader in network edge solutions, and Druid Software, a pioneer in private cellular network technology, today announced their collaboration on private 5G networks. The joint solution offers secure and reliable connectivity for various industries, in which private LTE and private 5G have been increasingly deployed as campus networks.

Druid’s advanced private network core provides a robust cellular infrastructure, while RAD’s end-to-end IoT solution – complete with sensors, Private Network gateway and an IoT platform with an intuitive dashboard – provides everything needed to ensure secure connectivity and integration for all smart devices on campus. The solution includes alerts, analytics, and AI-based improvement suggestions.

“We are thrilled to work with Druid Software and enable our customers to fully embrace digital transformation,” said Moshe Shimon, VP Product and marketing at RAD. “Private 5G takes a pivotal role in operational networks, especially to cater for the seamless continuous connectivity of mobile devices, such as mobile robots and AGVs, and to provide scalable outdoor connectivity, switching seamlessly between private 5G and indoor WiFi while on the move. With our joint solution, customers can onboard all their devices onto the private 5G network, thereby dramatically improving operations, enabling asset monitoring and predictive maintenance, while delivering ultra-resiliency, which is a must in mission-critical environments,” he added.

David O’Byrne, VP at Druid Software, commented: “This partnership is a significant milestone in private network innovation. The ability to integrate non-cellular devices and IoT sensors into private networks using RAD’s secure offering is a game-changer. Together, we are equipping our customers with the tools they need to overcome connectivity challenges and modernize their operations.”

RAD and Druid Software will present their joint solution at Mobile World Congress, March 3-6, 2025, Hall 6 booth # 6C40.
