## Abstract

As described herein, a system, method, and computer program are provided for making a 5G private network deployment recommendation using machine learning. A plurality of parameter values associated with an enterprise for which a 5G private network is to be deployed are obtained. A machine learning model is used to infer, for the enterprise, an optimal deployment scenario for the 5G private network among a plurality of available deployment scenarios, based on the plurality of parameter values. An indication of the optimal deployment scenario is output as a recommendation for deploying the for the 5G private network for the enterprise.
