and network management will need an appropriate system integration design, network planning and rollout
strategy. This is a space that is evolving and many new players with domain expertise of the vertical and system
integration capabilities are now entering into this market.
Further Evolution of Private Networks
3GPP has been focusing on private network and industrial specific requirements including URLLC in Releases
15 and 16. To ensure low latency communication in mission critical use cases, transport aspects like TSN (Time
Sensitive Networking) are being included in 3GPP 5G specifications. Further enhancements are planned in Release
17. Studies on the topic of non-public networks and management needs for the same are in progress. The Small
Cell Forum published a report on private cellular networks recently. These studies and reports analyze the details
of industry needs and challenges to be solved. These include interactions with and roaming in public networks and
RAN sharing.
Many OEMs are creating specific solutions to address this market. In the near future, we will see a significant
growth of private LTE and 5G networks and many of them based on open and disaggregated architectures. Thus,
the market for cellular networks is poised for yet another wave of growth.
