The Rise of Private 5G: A Challenger to Wi-Fi and Public 5G

Wi-Fi and public 5G are what most of us use for video streaming and wireless connectivity. But often, standard Wi-Fi isn’t available. Wi-Fi and public 5G get too congested to work as needed — especially in outdoor areas and large, open-air environments. Wi-Fi was never engineered for those spaces. At a time of increasing demand for high-speed, reliable internet for video streaming and wireless connectivity, private 5G networks are poised to challenge the dominance of both traditional Wi-Fi and public 5G networks. Private 5G fills a void where those traditional networks fall short. This paper explains private 5G networks, how they operate within organization-specific infrastructure, and why more and more organizations are adopting them. The author also offers application examples, considerations for implementation, and an outlook on the future.
