Going Beyond Bars with private mobile networks @ Waveriders Collective.
This MIT Technology Review article succinctly captures one of the major advantages of private mobile networks vs Wi-Fi.
...5G networks are built to allow devices to remain connected when moving between cells, whereas many Wi-Fi networks require devices to reconnect after moving.
Which is why folks are excited about the evolution of robotics and automation in manufacturing. We're used to seeing giant "robots", bolted to the floor, performing repetitive tasks like welding vehicles...they can be mobile now. Freedom of movement plus reliable connectivity = ???
This episode of The G2 on 5G has more info on the City of Las Vegas partnership with NTT to deploy the largest private mobile network in the USA.
AWS recently released a limited functionality version of their private 5G solution, this keynote is more focused on how CSPs (carrier/telco if you're an ancient Gen X'er like me) are innovating with 5G but there's plenty of useful information on use cases and route to market because private 5G is a growing revenue stream for this vertical.
