11、.LTE/5G networks market,but operator activity is growing.Network equipment providers(NEPs)are well-placed to deliver private LTE/5G networks:they act as the main contractor in 160 of the 365 networks announced.They generate revenue by selling their own network infrastructure products and services.No

12、kia,Ericsson and Huawei are the dominant private network players,but other NEPs such as Motorola and Samsung are also active.Operators are the main contractors in 176 of the 365 private LTE/5G networks in our tracker.They are also involved in other networks when leasing their spectrum.The larger Eur

13、opean operators(Deutsche Telekom,Telefnica and Vodafone)have been particularly active in the private networks space,after entering the market early and using their existing IoT expertise.Specialist network providers are emerging and are often focused on a particular region or country.For example,Fed

14、erated Wireless and CommScope have developed solutions for the USA after having won spectrum controller contracts.There are also some specialists in Europe with several publicly disclosed networks,including Edzcom(Nordics),Iskratel(Central and Eastern Europe)and Vilicom(UK).Systems integrators do no

18、networks use 5G as of 1H 2023as of 1H 202365%of the private networks that have been announced in 65%of the private networks that have been announced in 2023 so far use 5G,though many are trials or testbeds2023 so far use 5G,though many are trials or testbeds.The 5G share of private networks was 53%i

19、n 1H 2023,up from 48%at the end of 2022.However,these figures fall to 42%and 39%,respectively,if trials,testbeds and proof-of-concept networks are excluded.The 5G share of all private networks is also lower when non-public announcements are included because firms are more likely to publicly announce

20、 a 5G network than an LTE network given the high interest in 5G.The adoption of 5G in commercial deployments has been limited due to several factors.5G is more likely to be used than LTE for private networks where new applications are being developed,particularly those with requirements for high ban

21、dwidth and low latency(such as autonomous mobile robots).It can often take time to test and optimise private 5G networks to ensure maximum performance,particularly for newer applications.5G adoption has also been slowed down by the high cost and limited availability of 5G devices.The use of 5G in pr

22、ivate networks is also subject to regional variation.For example,the 5G share of announced private networks in North America(37%)is far lower than that in Western Europe(64%)due to the popularity of CBRS deployments in the USA.Current CBRS networks are LTE-based and are often used for simple applica

23、tions where 5G is not required,such as providing mobile broadband connectivity to schools.Figure 3:5G share of all private LTE/5G network Figure 3:5G share of all private LTE/5G network announcements in the public domain,2019announcements in the public domain,2019 20232023Figure 4:5G share of new pr

26、the other.When combined,the technologies can support applications that have requirements for low latency and high bandwidth or that need to be located on site for security purposes.The adoption of edge computing with private networks has been limited thus far due to several factors.Edge technology i

27、s relatively immature,and the drivers of private network adoption are also different to those of edge computing adoption.Private LTE/5G networks are often introduced to replace existing Wi-Fi or fibre access networks,and no other changes are made.Most private networks to-date are deployed fully on-p

28、remise where the latency requirements of many commonly deployed applications can be supported without the need to run on MEC.Nevertheless,we expect that more private networks will include edge computing over time.Some vendors are promoting edge as part of a packaged private network solution(such as

29、Nokia with its NDAC solution).A few operators,such as Verizon,Vodafone and the Chinese MNOs,are promoting the combination,and many other service providers have trials that combine the technologies.Figure 5:Private LTE/5G network announcements that mention Figure 5:Private LTE/5G network announcement
