PRIVATE WIRELESS NETWORKS IN 2024 – MOTIVATIONS, TRENDS AND THE 5G IMPACT

The Private Wireless Networks industry continues its upward momentum having grown to a value of $2.8 billion at the end of 2022 according to an analysis conducted by GlobalData. Smart manufacturing, intelligent transportation systems and smart cities are just some use cases fueling the demand for connected devices, but with governments announcing the allocation of spectrum specifically for private networks, it seems this trend is set to skyrocket. As the connectivity landscape continues to evolve, what impacts has the 5G rollout made on the wider industry and what can we expect with 5G Advanced? Join this session to get to grips with the latest on the Private Wireless Discussion.

PRIVATE WIRELESS VS WiFi – A COMPARISON OF CONNECTIVITY SOLUTIONS FOR THE ENTERPRISE

Private wireless networks undoubtedly have tremendous potential when connecting the enterprise, particularly in the advent of 5G. However, wireless solutions only represent one side of the coin when it comes to enterprise connectivity. WiFi has been widely used connecting a variety of enterprises. Being generally cheaper to install, WiFi may be the more suitable option for many businesses, particularly now WiFi 6/6E are promising speeds of up to 9.6 Gbps, which is perfectly adequate for many businesses. Nevertheless, is WiFi the best for enterprises needing to span longer ranges, especially those outside more prone to interference? Join this session as we compare private wireless with private wired. Understand the implications for the enterprise and which one is best suited for particular scenarios.

PRIVATE 4G LTE & CBRS – EXPLORING THE WIDER PRIVATE WIRELESS ECOSYSTEM

Although private 5G grabs a lot of attention, it is only one solution when it comes down to private networks. Private LTE is a 4G cellular technology that can also offer enterprises fast, reliable, and secure connectivity. Offering many of the benefits of a 5G network, many businesses have invested in private LTE solutions and the market is predicted to reach a value of over $11 billion by 2030. Similarly, in early 2020 the federal government auctioned off its CRBS spectrum for commercial purposes. Originally reserved for military applications, the 3.5-3.7 GHz spectrum offers a performance often matched with many wired solutions which has tremendous implications for mission critical use cases. With that in mind, what other solutions exist for the enterprise, and what solutions are better suited for given use cases? If an enterprise has already invested in their private LTE network, do they need to upgrade? Join this session as we explore the wider ecosystem of private wireless.
