As the demand for on-premises and customised connectivity continues to grow among the enterprises and businesses, LTE or 5G based private wireless has emerged as the go-to technology for providing a reliable and secure connectivity, tailored to specific needs for supporting business and mission critical applications. More so in the asset-intensive physical industries, such as manufacturing, mines, ports, utilities etc., that are looking at Industry 4.0 to increase their business efficiency, improve safety, become more agile and sustainable, and be better prepared for the future.

As per
Bell Labs Consulting<\/a> 2021 report, today the ratio of information and communications technology (ICT) spend between digital industries (including online retail, media, banking etc.) and physical industries is 70:30— while the proportion of their respective GDP contributions is 30:70. By 2030 however, the ICT spend ratio will change to 35:65 in favour of physical industries as they are undergoing a massive digital transformation with private wireless playing a pivotal role. Our CEO Pekka Lundmark echoed the very sentiment when he announced, “There is no green without digital” at COP26<\/a>, Glasgow.

Public safety agencies and armed forces are also looking at LTE or 5G based private wireless for increased digitalization of their operations and enhanced situational awareness as their existing networks, mostly narrow band and based on P25, TETRA etc., are not able to meet the performance requirements.

Private wireless is the clear choice

Compared to LTE or 5G based private wireless, traditional industrial connectivity solutions, including Ethernet, Wi-Fi, etc., lack the capabilities to control the various aspects of workflows and applications at industrial scale. Cabling lacks flexibility and is not very cost efficient for connecting a large number of IoT sensors, devices and machines, and Wi-Fi does not meet the performance, mobility or security specifications. Below are some of the key features of private wireless that substantiate its benefits:
