When it comes to enabling digital transformation, private networks are made for the industry. As 5G targets the vertical industry market, it is theoretically possible to choose between public and private networks in the future.
But when the public network and private network together meet 5G, there is a lot of debate in the industry -- is the operator overall planning to build a 5G public network, through the network slice and other ways for the industry to use? Or will the industry build its own 5G private network in the future? Will 5G public networks replace existing private networks and do all the work in the industry market? This is a new issue that the industry needs to think about together in the 5G era.
The basic business of 5G is to meet the mobile Internet demand of C-terminal customers, while industry customers have endowed 5G network with greater space for value realization, and 5G network will be a new boost to the digitalization of industry customers. In the field of industry customers operators and equipment vendors, must be a win-win relationship of cooperation.
Based on the current trend, 5G frequency in most countries is allocated to operators. Frequency regulatory departments considering the industry 5G band, Germany, Britain, Japan for industrial users are assigned the special regional 5G spectrum, such as Germany to send part of the 3.8 G spectrum frequency to manufacturing, Japan is 4.6 G and 4.8 G band reserved for private network, 5G is mostly concentrated in the middle and high frequencies, applies only to the campus network; However, There is no specific 5G private network frequency band in China, so the frequency of 5G industry is not clear in the short term.
5G due to the difficulty of network planning, construction operation scale, the complexity of maintenance services, are beyond the ability of independent construction of 5G private network customers in the industry, at present, the operator is responsible for the overall 5G network construction, on the one hand, on the other hand also need to understand the industry, focus on industry and service industry experience of partners to provide integrated digital solutions and services to our customers. It is expected that in the future, each country will not be excluded to allocate exclusive 5G private network frequency band for industry customers. This trend requires not only the construction of network facilities, but also the understanding of information services to fully fit the business model of industry customers. The integration of network slicing, edge computing, cloud computing, big data and other technologies enables 5G networks to meet the diverse needs of industry customers. Under the overall promotion of the new infrastructure, THE 5G market is very broad, the industrial chain is huge and three-dimensional, local competition is inevitable, but the cooperation and prosperity of the whole industrial chain is normal, which requires each company to make clear its own positioning and focus on the matching market.
