More enterprises are testing private networks, with 5G starting to get more traction, according to consultants at Deloitte, even if the market is developing more slowly than some had predicted.
There were 748 private network deployments in enterprises globally in January 2022, according to the Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA).
Almost by definition, private networks are edge computing deployments as well. Though it is possible to deploy a private 4G or 5G network without doing computation locally, the business case might be harder to establish, beyond providing greater security.
In most cases, the value of the private network is directly tied to the ability to create and operate sensor-enhanced networks for operating efficiency and effectiveness. To the extent process control is the objective, edge computing makes sense.
