  The fifth-generation (5G) mobile/cellular technology is a game changer for
industrial systems. Private 5G deployments are promising to address the
challenges faced by industrial networks. Programmability and open-source are
two key aspects which bring unprecedented flexibility and customizability to
private 5G networks. Recent regulatory initiatives are removing barriers for
industrial stakeholders to deploy their own local 5G networks with dedicated
equipment. To this end, this demonstration showcases an open and programmable
5G network-in-a-box solution for private deployments. The network-in-a-box
provides an integrated solution, based on open-source software stack and
general-purpose hardware, for operation in 5G non-standalone (NSA) as well as
4G long-term evolution (LTE) modes. The demonstration also shows the capability
of operation in different sub-6 GHz frequency bands, some of which are
specifically available for private networks. Performance results, in terms of
end-to-end latency and data rates, with a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) 5G
device are shown as well.
