For those who like lists – and who doesn’t? – and also you additionally like non-public 5G, Business 4.0, IoT, and all of that jazz (who doesn’t?), then the new report from SNS Telecom & IT may simply be for you. It has lists popping out of its ears, together with 7,300 non-public 4G/5G engagements, named and unnamed, in 130 nations on an Excel spreadsheet. In a barely mad PR offensive, it has additionally written 2,000 phrases in list-form to call a bunch of public non-public 5G references variously within the agriculture, broadcasting, building, schooling, healthcare, manufacturing, mining, oil and fuel, ports and maritime, railways, utilities, and warehousing and logistics sectors. It’s good things, however it’s largely only a listing of enterprises, industries, and nations.
Extra instantly helpful, maybe, is one other (annotated) listing of a dozen huge non-public 5G initiatives, delivered within the final 12 months (or so). A lot of these have been lined in these pages. The categorisations and descriptions are a bit inconsistent, and a few info might be lacking (and simply obtainable; just like the identification of vendor companions). However some can be dynamite stuff; and the message is sweet. It says every might be “categorized as large-scale relying on the kind of community atmosphere (localised campus [or] wide-area networks)”. It calls them “attention-grabbing examples when it comes to [their monetary] worth and community measurement”, and we can not disagree. Right here they’re, as supplied bt SNS to RCR.
And, whereas now we have you, try the brand new report beneath from RCR Wi-fi about non-public 5G in Business 4.0.
