Private 5G is growing at an impressive rate as enterprises are increasingly engaging ecosystem players, including telcos and systems integrators, to set up private wireless networks. Industry attention is increasingly focused on filling the gaps in the private wireless proposition, and in this sense, this is also a maturing industry segment. In 2024, the private network opportunity will become increasingly attractive while momentum continues to build, with multiple vendors further increasing their investments. But the value points are shifting away from radios and mobile cores, which are now table stakes, towards the distributed edge and seamless orchestration of workloads across enterprise IT/OT environments.

For 5G monetisation, the primary challenge is to drive a higher price premium for tariffs linked to content or speed, with consumers being willing to pay and sustain this level of payment over time. This comes down to people feeling 5G delivers something new or better than what is possible using an existing 4G service. This analysis shows that FWA and speed-linked tariffs are the best means of doing that, with content-linked offers a more market-specific play.
