Private 5G, eSIM, cloud and edge in vogue
The broader trend of digitisation across industries that underpins investment in cloud compute, 5G, AI and analytics was set in motion before the pandemic, so the gathering pace of recovery should be seen as a resumption of activity after a ‘pause’ rather than something wholly new. The fundamental rationale for digitisation of companies in different enterprise verticals remains the same.
This report aims to strip away shorter-term effects from economic and political instability and focus on the longer-term implications from digitisation and the technology enablers that will power it: private 5G, eSIM and advanced IoT, and edge cloud. This applies to business and operating models of vertical sector companies and, just as importantly, to telecoms operators, vendors and cloud groups competing to enable and service this business.

Connectivity trends in robotics: 5G and cellular IoT are only just emerging
From a telecoms perspective, robotics was recognised early on as a key future use case during the planning and rollout of 5G around seven years ago. With 5G-Advanced now commercially deployed in early-adopter countries, it is timely to evaluate 5G’s real-world impact on robotics. We also explore how complementary technologies such as edge computing, IoT and eSIM are shaping the connectivity landscape.
Industry Checkpoint: private networks, Q3 2025
This edition of the Industry Checkpoint series focuses on private networks, highlighting how the market has changed in the last six months and its implications. The report considers four major developments: telecoms operators upping their offerings through managed services; private networks solutions increasingly being tailored for edge AI applications; private 5G's growing role in public safety infrastructure; and the accelerating momentum of private networks in military and defence.
