“Do it yourself” always has been a foundational part of networking. And that will be the case for 5G as well, analysts at ABI Research predict. About halfway into the first half decade of 6G, a time when public 5G will be 15 years old, spending on private 5G network infrastructure might approach that of 5G spending on public networks, ABI suggests.
That forecast assumes that private 5G use cases in a wide variety of settings outside factories have proven themselves in many instances where private 5G networks are deemed more useful than advanced Wi-Fi or some other connectivity method.
As computer networking gear is a different market from connectivity services; as Wi-Fi and local area networks are distinct from public network communications, so too are markets for 5G infrastructure and telecommunications services distinct.
Whether private 5G helps or harms public network revenues is not yet clear. Private 5G will provide a boost to suppliers of 5G infrastructure, no doubt.
