Verizon has introduced a new prototype, the “network in a box” (NIB), aiming to bridge the gap between public and private network deployments. This innovative solution targets customers who desire the advantages of a private mobile network—such as enhanced performance, reliability, privacy, and security—without the need for a permanent setup due to financial or practical constraints.
Despite the complexities, the Telecoms.com survey reveals an exciting consensus: The enterprise private networks may become a 5G goldmine in the next few years. Interestingly, the mobile edge’s role shows signs of decrease. But what about Multi-Access Edge Computing and the high cost of managing mixed networks? And how can vendor selection help overcome security concerns? With both telecoms and customers keen on leveraging 5G’s potential, it’s a thrilling tale of advancement and challenges.
