Private LTE & 5G Networks Report: February 2020 The deployment of private mobile networks has emerged as an important market. In fact so important that the market could – according to Arthur D Little – be worth as much as €60–70 billion by 2025. This implies rapidly growing adoption among the 14–15 million potential sites for private LTE networks identified by Nokia last year in an interview with EnterpriseIotInsights. The demand for private LTE (and increasingly, 5G) networks has been driven by the spiralling data requirements of modern business and government entities. Organisations of all… -
