Report: 5G Private Networks: The New Growth Engine for Asia Pacific Telcos in the Enterprise Market

This white paper discusses the opportunities for enterprises and implications for APAC telcos in the growing 5G private network (5G PN) space. 5G PN is emerging as a digital transformation accelerator for APAC enterprises, driven by an increasing focus on advanced use case adoption (such as autonomous guided vehicles, autonomous mobile robots, and edge video analytics), operational resilience, and security considerations.

For APAC telcos, 5G PN is forecast to grow aggressively and constitute more than 10% of the enterprise connectivity market, while opening avenues into the larger digital transformation market for APAC telcos.

We have identified five must-win themes for individual telcos to accelerate in the 5G PN space: 

• identifying focused end-user segments
• building fit-for-purpose deployment models
• developing winning product propositions
• demonstrating tangible returns on investment for enterprises
• creating a self-reinforcing ecosystem

Furthermore, collaboration among telcos is crucial in driving the adoption of 5G PN as it pools demand and accelerates deployment.
