Figure1: iPhone successfully connected to MKI’s Private 5G network which was built using Raemis™
Mitsui Knowledge Industry Co., Ltd. (MKI) and Druid Software have verified that iPhone/iPad can connect to Private 5G network and seamlessly switch to public cellular network in Japan. The solution was built using the Druid Software core network technology, Raemis ™.

Given the prevalence of Apple devices among mobile handsets in Japan, this capability will be accessible to a wide range of users, encompassing the majority of devices. Additionally, leveraging capabilities of private cellular networks provides enterprises with all the well-established advantages like enhanced security, improved network reliability and increased control of the network.

MKI has shown that it’s possible to add Private 5G capability easily onto their enterprise network and applications like Face Time can be used in the actual business environment. In addition, voice communication has been tested by leveraging Dual SIM between Private 5G and Public 4G. When the phone call is triggered, iPhone goes switching carrier from Private 5G to Public 4G. The background of this is that iPhone in Private 5G can establish session only for data communication at present. MKI and Druid Software have verified this kind of hybrid operation is feasible to enable voice communication capability and extend its cellular network coverage outside of the office.
