Business Benefits of Private Wireless Networks

This white paper discusses the business benefits of deploying private wireless networks, specifically focusing on 5G and LTE technologies. It outlines findings from a survey of 305 large enterprises and 15 in-depth interviews, highlighting how these networks serve as a 'business outcomes engine' for operations. The document details the quantifiable benefits achieved by organizations, such as productivity improvements, reduced downtime, and enhanced cybersecurity. It notes that 70% of respondents are satisfied with their deployments, with many reporting double-digit gains in key performance indicators. The paper emphasizes the importance of treating private wireless as an operational platform rather than merely a connectivity upgrade. It also addresses barriers to scaling deployments, such as integration complexity and skills gaps, and suggests that organizations can realize business value quickly when private wireless is aligned with operational priorities and integrated into existing workflows. The findings aim to provide a framework for enterprises to leverage private wireless effectively.
