Private 5G: The Future of Industrial Wireless
The arXiv.org website noted that until recently, mobile/cellular technologies have been developed through closed innovation, and the stronghold of telecommunication vendors and infrastructure providers. An unprecedented development is the emerging ecosystem of open innovation around 5G hardware and software. The open innovation model for 5G is gaining traction. Numerous open source initiatives focusing on infrastructure, management, control, access, and core have emerged recently that are well-supported by industry. The open innovation ecosystem is attractive for development of white box technology for private 5G. It minimizes dependency on vendors, infrastructure providers and mobile network operators (MNOs). Non-MNOs and non-cellular companies can also tap into the value chain of private 5G by developing solutions using open source hardware and software.
