• Q&A Session
Why Private Mobile Networks?
To enable or optimize a critical business process…
Coverage Control Performance
- Location not covered by - Apply custom user, device & - Application cycle-time
public network service policies requires low latency

- Dedicated capacity & radio - Sensitive operating data - Highly available/reliable


configuration secured locally networks

- Challenging RF conditions - Non-SIM authentication - Guaranteed bit rate w/ QoS

Private LTE is growing rapidly; Private 5G is underway


5G NR for Industrial IoT
Application Performance - What latency, availability & reliability metrics?
Requirements - What can 5G enable that isn't practical with LTE?

Spectrum Bands & - Leased? Shared? Licensed? Unlicensed?


Regulation - Should regulators allocate dedicated spectrum?

Network Owner & - Vendor partner, system integrator, mobile operator?


Operator - How to ingrate with wide-area mobile networks?
