It might not be clear why a private 4G or private 5G network is “better” than Wi-Fi or some other local wireless connectivity platform at an enterprise location.
Nokia points to mines, port terminals and airports as locations where the private mobile network has value. Vast coverage areas, needs for mobile support and assured quality of service can be issues in those venues. Wi-Fi cannot support the mobile requirements of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) or the even some of the faster-moving arms of robots, Nokia argues.
Likewise, Wi-Fi signals do not propagate well in many industrial environments where building structures cause interference, Nokia argues. Support for low power requirements of sensors and other IoT devices as well as high density of devices also can be issues private 4G or 5G can address.
