Claim 0:
1. A User Equipment (UE), the UE comprising:
memory storing non-public network (NPN) configuration information;
a radio frequency (RF) interface to receive information broadcast by a radio access network (RAN) node of a particular NPN, the information comprising a NPN indicator indicating that the RAN node supports a NPN and NPN service information indicating services supported by the particular NPN; and
processing circuitry coupled to the memory and the RF interface, the processing circuitry to establish, in response to detecting the NPN indicator in the information received from the RAN node, a connection to the particular NPN based on the NPN configuration information and the NPN service information received from the RAN node, wherein the NPN indicator is a reserved public land mobile network identifier (PLMN-ID) for use by any RAN node to indicate that the RAN node supports a NPN.
