Abstract:
A dedicated private network involves micro towers and small cells that can be assembled very quickly with a view to servicing a particular geographical area to improve coverage and increase control and security. Such a network can deliver voice, text, data and video services and can be used to connect machines, sensors and devices (Internet of Things) and computing systems, as well as people. The two updates from the GSA clearly illustrate the scope of the developments that are occurring. While many countries are making progress with regards to spectrum, arguably less well developed are the pilots and trials that would demonstrate the feasibility of private networks. Similarly, while some countries have sought to integrate their initiatives into wider digitalisation plans or have focused their attention on specific sectors or industries, many have not. Mobile operators, who are searching for new revenue streams as they roll out 5G networks, may partner with the users of private networks, equipment vendors or IT companies to provide whatever services are being demanded. In some cases, mobile operators will play a prominent role in the business model being adopted, but in other cases they will play second fiddle to their partners or may even be excluded altogether as industrial companies or equipment vendors build and operate the networks themselves.
