5G represents potential enterprise revenue upside, but only if 5G proves more attractive than other connectivity options, some based on 4G, others supplied by rival platforms using unlicensed spectrum.
And it remains to be seen whether network slicing to create custom networks, 5G best effort access, private 5G networks or edge computing prove to have the highest value for enterprise buyers. Different use cases might rely on one or another of those attributes as the value driver.
In fact, 5G access, in and of itself, might prove to be less a driver than the other features (customized networks, edge computing). And in some countries, private 5G networks will not create a new wholesale opportunity for mobile service providers, as enterprises will be able to use new spectrum specifically allowing them to create private 5G networks on their own.
