Market Definition
Gartner defines 4G and 5G private mobile network (PMN) services as private wireless network deployment, operation and management services for the exclusive use by a given organization, to provide dedicated connectivity for people and assets of an enterprise setting. 4G and 5G PMN services are delivered as an end-to-end service that covers design, architecting, deployment and management, based on the 3GPP standards, in a specific enterprise location, with dedicated or a mix of shared assets, such as spectrum or core network.
Enterprises deploy PMNs for wireless connectivity in enterprise locations such as factories, warehouses, ports, airports and mines to provide:
-
Better reliability than other wireless options.
-
Greater independence on technology direction and decisions versus public network.
-
Data privacy which enables better surface attack management.
-
Isolation from public cellular networks, stronger authentication than Wi-Fi.
-
Consolidation of multiple existing connectivity technologies into one PMN.
-
Data collection and analysis, and additional decision services that are necessary for connected solutions and industrial applications.
-
Easier scalability for number of endpoints and use cases, and multiple sites.
-
Seamless handover and national roaming to public mobile network.
-
High-throughput use cases, such as computer vision.
