The industry's perspective on the relationship between private 5G and Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) networks has gradually shifted from being competitive to cooperative and mutually complementary. Relevant technical specifications such as 3GPP's Access Traffic Steering, Switching & Splitting (ATSSS) and Wi-Fi Broadband Alliance's private network and Wi-Fi roaming initiatives have been aggressively promoted. There are various instances of 5G and Wi-Fi heterogeneous networking deployments worldwide, aiming to integrate the technical characteristics of both technologies for diverse application scenarios and optimal cost-efficiency in network deployment. This report provides an overview of the private 5G and Wi-Fi networks, explores their respective technologies towards shared roaming, and examines the current use of heterogeneous networking in vertical domains.

Methodology

Primary research with a holistic, cross-domain approach

The exhaustive primary research methods are central to the value that the analyst delivers. A combination of questionnaires and on-site visits to the major manufacturers provides a first view of the latest data and trends. Information is subsequently validated by interviews with the manufacturers' suppliers and customers, covering a holistic industry value chain. This process is backed up by a cross-domain team-based approach, creating an interlaced network across numerous interrelated components and system-level devices to ensure statistical integrity and provide in-depth insight.

Complementing primary research is a running database and secondary research of industry and market information. Dedicated research into the macro-environmental trends shaping the ICT industry also allows the analyst to forecast future development trends and generate foresight perspectives. With more than 20 years of experience and endeavors in research, the methods and methodologies include:

Method

Component supplier interviews
System supplier interviews
User interviews
Channel interviews
IPO interviews
Focus groups
Consumer surveys
Production databases
Financial data
Custom databases
