Private Wireless is one of the healthiest and most rapidly growing sectors today. So, how quickly and how large will it ultimately grow? When investors and business customers consider a private wireless service provider, they look for companies and technology on the rising side of the growth wave. They avoid those whose growth has crested or is falling.
That being said, private 5G wireless in general is currently on the rising side of what looks like a powerful growth wave with no end in sight. That being said, some companies are showing more growth compared to others. So, it is important to make the right choice.
In recent years we are seeing private wireless move into the mainstream and transform many different industries like automotive, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, mining and so many others.
Private wireless is important to large organizations like enterprises, colleges and universities, hospitals, manufacturing plants and so much more.
The good news is this is a sector which is starting to get lots of attention. The bad news is there are quite a few different technologies and companies to sort through.
So, just as things are getting stronger in this segment, things are starting to get more confusing for the customer and the investor.
There are public wireless networks which are starting to offer private wireless like Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile and AT&T Mobility. There are also many smaller competitors like C-Spire, US Cellular and more.
This can give enterprises a more secure private wireless experience compared to public wireless, although these services are not as flexible as other private wireless competitors.
There are resellers like Xfinity Mobile, Spectrum Mobile, Optimum and quite a few other smaller competitors in the space as well. Some of these are moving in this direction.
There are also companies which work with a variety of networks and deliver a private wireless like experience to companies like Kore Wireless.
Real excitement in the private wireless space comes from companies like Betacom, Qualcomm, HPE, Cisco, Juniper Networks, Federated Wireless, NTT, HPE, Ericsson, Cradlepoint, Nokia, Intel, Celona, Amazon AWS and more all the time.
I have been invited to visit with private wireless providers in order to get a better sense of what they offer and how they compare to the competition.
They have given me tours of some of their customers operations to see how private wireless both is impacting and transforming the way they do business.
Private wireless offers real solutions to enterprise customers and companies in many other industries.
That means today private wireless is becoming an exciting new growth opportunity. It puts more control in the hands of the enterprise itself.
The 5G speeds can be reached everywhere they are needed rather than having dead spots from the public network.
Plus, security is also enhanced, and there is less risk which comes from all the unlimited users of the public networks.
As wireless continues to grow, it is a real balancing act. It needs to be secure enough to protect users, but open enough to allow them to gain value.
Based on what I see to date, private wireless is an exciting and rapidly expanding growth segment.
I believe that is why we are seeing an increase both in the number of service providers and interested companies and enterprises.
