Despite continuing growth in mobile network coverage, there are many areas where enterprise users suffer from no, or poor, connectivity. Manufacturing, agricultural and transport industries in these regions suffer from their remote locations, and they often find that their ability to benefit from Industry 4.0 – the automation through connected machines – is limited. This paper outlines how private LTE networks can help to overcome these issues, and the operating and regulatory frameworks needed for them to flourish.
This Insight paper summarises some of our key findings from reports into private LTE spectrum requirements and business models.
