#  Cargill's Private 5G Journey:  
From Evaluation to Scaled Deployment 

With over 50 installations implemented at Cargill sites over a 6 month period, and an ambitious 100 more installations to go - this is Private 5G achieving what we always knew it would!

 

 

 

 

 

 

  #### “The performance of P5G will trump Wi-Fi… are you going to do two or three life cycles of Wi-Fi from the time you do one 5G to 6G?”

### Why Cargill Is Building Its Manufacturing Connectivity Foundation on Private 5G

The discussion explores the decision framework Cargill used to evaluate connectivity options across coverage, capacity, reliability, and total cost of ownership, along with key lessons learned from deploying private 5G in brownfield environments.

You’ll also learn why designing networks around isolated use cases can limit long-term scalability and innovation.
