Market Definition
4G and 5G private mobile network services encompass the complete life cycle of private wireless networks — from design and deployment to operation and management. They are for the exclusive use of a given organization and provide dedicated connectivity for the people and assets of an enterprise setting. 4G and 5G PMN services are delivered as an end-to-end service, with either fully dedicated or a mix of shared assets, such as spectrum or core network.
Enterprises deploy private mobile networks (PMNs) for wireless connectivity in enterprise locations such as factories, warehouses, ports, airports and mines to provide:
-
Improved coverage
-
Better reliability than other wireless options
-
Simplified wireless network architecture
-
Better network control compared to public networks
-
Enhanced data privacy protection from better surface attack management
-
Isolation from public cellular networks
-
Stronger authentication mechanisms than in Wi-Fi networks
-
Operational efficiencies by simplifying overall network management and consolidating multiple pre-existing connectivity technologies into one PMN
-
Data collection and analysis that enable real-time insights into various operations, allowing enterprises to optimize processes, improve efficiency and make data-driven decisions.
-
Better scalability compared to Wi-Fi (such as the number of endpoints and use cases)
-
Assets’ connections across private and public mobile networks
-
High-performance networking for demanding use cases, such as computer vision
