Private Network deployments are now surging and will continue to accelerate at a higher rate than public 5G deployments. And by 2028 Private 5G Networks sales and services will generate almost $24 Billion in revenue, while WiFi (5,6E) will see a surge to $2.5 billion by 2025.

Rethink through surveys, and in-depth interviews has discussed deployments of Private Networks with 85 network operators, and 110 enterprises, who are looking to deploy private 5G networks.

This RAN Research forecast gives a global snapshot of Private Networks and lays out the potential deployments and revenue, with regional and industry vertical breakdowns.

Operators, and new service providers compete to deploy private networks and generate new revenue streams, while enterprises, citing control and security look to bypass them and deploy their own networks.  At the same time existing technology providers face off with new providers, who are joining the fray on the back of Open RAN.

The analysis dives into the coexistence and collaboration debate, looks at the impact of Open RAN, the potential for HetNets, spectrum and its use cases, existing technologies, and innovations that will drive Private Network opportunities, whilst analysing the drivers and barriers to deployment.
