SNS Telecom & IT's latest research report indicates that the private LTE and 5G network market – estimated to be worth $7.2 billion by the end of 2028 – continues to shine as 5G deployments overtake LTE across many vertical industries. This steady, strong growth stands in contrast to the tepid pace of infrastructure spending in the much larger but relatively stagnant public mobile network market, where standalone 5G core investments are growing but RAN (Radio Access Network) sales remain flat following a sharp decline last year.  Against this backdrop, the real-world impact of private networks – spanning both facility/campus-based and wide area deployments – is clearly visible across a diverse range of customers, from manufacturers, port operators, and airlines to sports clubs and public sector organizations. Among many other impactful examples, Tesla, LG Electronics, and Hyundai have eliminated connection-related AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) stoppages at their production facilities; Peel Ports Group has experienced a tenfold increase in network performance at the Port of Liverpool’s metal-heavy environment, which previously hindered Wi-Fi connectivity; Lufthansa has achieved a 75% improvement in operational process speed at its LAX cargo facility; partially sighted fans are able to experience football matches in exceptional detail using private 5G-connected headsets at Crystal Palace Football Club's Selhurst Park stadium; and police forces in Ontario’s Peel-Halton Region have had uninterrupted in-vehicle data access – especially during outages affecting public mobile operator services – since adopting their independent public safety broadband network, which has recently undergone a 5G core upgrade. While these practical and tangible benefits are already compelling, another sign of the market's positive momentum is how customers are increasingly incorporating private 5G networks as a key component of their new facilities. A case in point is GDC's (Georgia Department of Corrections) new state prison project, which also involves the implementation of a secure and physically isolated private 5G network using Band n48 (3.5 GHz) CBRS spectrum to provide indoor and outdoor coverage at a greenfield prison campus with 13 buildings covering 800,000 square feet across 200 acres. #Private5G #PrivateLTE #PrivateNetworks #PrivateWireless #PrivateCellular #P5G #PLTE #5G #EnterpriseWireless Manish Tiwari James Weaver Matt Addicks Ray Sabourin Anna Keeve Jeff Pittman Guilherme Pizzato Mici Cronstedt Cristina Rodriguez Bhupesh Agrawal Anoop Kulkarni Dr. Rob Spalding, Brig Gen, USAF (Ret) Gianluca Verin Pradhyum Ramkumar Mehmet Yavuz Joerg Ambrozy Bernd Hoffmann Brian Anderson Tommy Ljunggren Rob Jones Mika Skarp Avi Cohen Jack Mar Myles Lu Mark Reudink Ted (Yong) Jeon Gary Sumihiro Markus Wabner Louis Tan James Chang, PMP Rahul Bangera Ben White Joel Lindholm Daniel Neal Sam Jackman Jens Buysse Wei Bai Minchul Ho Kris Kozamchak Andrew Bonnar
