Devices are critical to enabling private network use cases, particularly when it comes to connecting assets and operations for the first time, beyond just upgrading existing connectivity infrastructure. Such devices may be end-user equipment, such as ruggedised handheld devices and wearables, or connected tools, industrial robots, drones and various IoT sensors that are compatible with cellular connectivity and private network use. While the majority of live deployments are currently in private 4G/LTE, private 5G penetration is rising, underpinned by the growing, albeit slowly, availability of 5G-compatible devices. Understanding the new capabilities and innovation happening on the device and at the ‘edge’ level is important for articulating private networks’ increasing value as 5G expands.
