Summary
This IDC Market Perspective examines the private mobile network contracts publicly announced during 2H22 with comparisons to previous data. The contracts provide a view into the differences in private 4G/5G network deployments by geographic region, technology, and vertical market and, most importantly for mobile operators, whether the contract includes the involvement of a communications service provider and managed services component."The private mobile network market is continuing to grow, with mobile operators just one of many players vying for a piece of the pie," says Sandra Wendelken, senior research analyst, Mobile and IoT Services at IDC. "The 2022 contracts that have been openly discussed offer clues to help mobile operators take larger roles in private 4G/5G networks as the market continues to evolve."
