Private 5G networks are expected to be a growth industry, but the issue remains “who gains” and “how much?” As with past private networks, such as local area networks, revenue gained by connectivity service providers is one thing; revenue for others in the ecosystem is quite another matter.
Private networks create direct markets for devices, Wi-Fi chipset suppliers and router suppliers; system integrators and distributors. Connectivity providers gain indirectly, from some positive impact on broadband access accounts or the spending on such accounts.
In the case of 5G private networks, much of the revenue will be gained by infrastructure suppliers, though some incremental revenue also will be earned by suppliers of 5G public network connections or broadband access services.
Much of the connectivity revenue is possibly going to be earned by dedicated low-power-wide-area service providers, as well. Some 5G service providers will be more active as system integrators.
And it remains possible that some 5G service providers will be significant application providers in a few industry verticals, such as the automotive industry and autonomous vehicles, terrestrial and aerial.
