The use of private cellular networks in manufacturing
We explore a recent study conducted by IndustryWeek on behalf of Ericsson to understand the current use of private 5G cellular networks in manufacturing.
What it covers:
IndustryWeek and Ericsson surveyed over 100 individuals from manufacturing companies with annual revenues of 1 Billion USD or more to understand how manufacturers are considering and adopting private 5G cellular networks within their infrastructures.
What you’ll learn:
- Manufacturers are investing in data networks with nearly half of respondents indicating data networks are a higher priority in comparison to other technologies.
- Manufacturers are adopting 5G: Thirty-nine percent are currently incorporating private cellular networks within their infrastructures, and eight percent plan to add this investment in the next 12 to 24 months.
- Manufacturers are benefitting significantly from 5G networks with improved coverage, enhanced capabilities, increased speed, bolstered reliability and heightened mobility, recognizing understanding these advantages are ones to capitalize on and implement.
