5.30.1 General
Taught in 24. Networks that are not for everybody (The 5G system architecture, in depth).
A Non-Public Network (NPN) is a 5GS deployed for non-public use, see TS 22.261 [2]. An NPN is either:
- a Stand-alone Non-Public Network (SNPN), i.e. operated by an NPN operator and not relying on network functions provided by a PLMN, or
- a Public Network Integrated NPN (PNI-NPN), i.e. a non-public network deployed with the support of a PLMN.
NOTE: An NPN and a PLMN can share NG-RAN as described in clause 5.18.
Stand-alone NPN are described in clause 5.30.2 and Public Network Integrated NPNs are described in clause 5.30.3.
