Growth Opportunities in APAC Private Wireless Network Solutions

Transformational Growth is Possible With 5G and RedCap

This study examines the private wireless network industry, analyzing its opportunities for growth across segments. The largest industries were some of the first to adopt private wireless networks due to their needs, compelling use cases, and accessibility to budgets. Now, in addition to the existing avenues for private wireless network deployments, new application areas are emerging and witnessing rapid growth. While cost is a factor for 5G, areas that can justify the cost of 5G are increasingly being uncovered as trials reach commercial stages.

Results from successful deployments show that private wireless networks are contributing to cost savings and efficiency gains. The case for private wireless networks is most apparent in manufacturing. While connectivity consistently appears as a pain point to be addressed, it is rarely the only challenge. The justification for private wireless network solution deployment is strongest from the overall impact the solution will have on the business. The need for solution development across industries/enterprises presents a key opportunity for private wireless network solution providers. A focus on 5G and Reduced Capability (RedCap) will help mobile operators monetize 5G and the enterprise segment. For private networks to expand, solutions have to be more affordable, faster to install, and easier to operate.

The study identifies the factors driving and restraining growth in this industry and highlights the opportunities emerging from the changes in this space for market players and stakeholders to leverage.
