Private 5G Insights for 2025
Clover IQ Pulse Newsletter – November 2024 Edition
Welcome to the November edition of the Clover IQ Pulse Newsletter. This month, we delve into the transformative role of neutral host networks in enhancing cellular coverage, the deployment of private 5G networks in manufacturing and oil & gas sectors to boost ROI, the evolving landscape of industrial security as we approach 2025, and how Clover IQ is assisting enterprises in streamlining their wireless strategies for the future.
1. Neutral Host Networks: Amplifying AT&T and T-Mobile Coverage
Neutral host networks are revolutionizing in-building cellular coverage by allowing multiple carriers to share the same infrastructure. This approach not only reduces deployment costs but also enhances connectivity for users across different networks. Companies like Kajeet have launched neutral host private wireless platforms that provide indoor coverage using the General Authorized Access (GAA) unlicensed portion of the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) spectrum band. Their solutions support multiple RAN vendors and technologies, with agreements in place with AT&T and T-Mobile to provide their customers with connectivity.
Similarly, InfiniG has introduced its Neutral Host as a Service (NHaaS), offering indoor coverage with CBRS spectrum and cloud technology. This service integrates shared spectrum and state-of-the-art cloud technology, setting a new benchmark for in-building mobile coverage.
2. Manufacturing Sector: Boosting ROI with Private 5G Deployments
The manufacturing industry is increasingly adopting private 5G networks to enhance operational efficiency and achieve significant returns on investment (ROI). A study by Nokia revealed that early adopters in Industry 4.0 have seen ROI on private 5G deployments within two years, with some achieving it even sooner. These networks facilitate real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and automation, leading to increased productivity and reduced downtime.

Ericsson's Smart Manufacturing Value Calculator indicates that adopting private 4G and 5G cellular technology can boost productivity, with certain use cases paying for themselves in three to five years. Deploying multiple use cases simultaneously can result in payback within two years, underscoring the financial viability of private 5G investments in manufacturing.
3. Oil and Gas Industry: Maximizing ROI through Private 5G
In the oil and gas sector, private 5G networks are being deployed to enhance operational efficiency, safety, and ROI. These networks enable real-time data collection and analysis, remote monitoring, and automation of critical processes. For instance, private 5G facilitates the use of autonomous vehicles and drones for inspection and maintenance, reducing the need for manual interventions and minimizing risks. The high bandwidth and low latency of 5G networks support advanced applications such as predictive maintenance and digital twins, leading to cost savings and improved asset utilization.
4. Industrial Security Outlook for 2025
As we approach 2025, industrial security is becoming increasingly critical. The integration of IoT devices and the expansion of digital infrastructures have broadened the attack surface for cyber threats. Gartner predicts that by 2025, 75% of CEOs will be personally liable for cyber-physical security incidents. Organizations are urged to adopt comprehensive security frameworks that encompass IT and operational technology (OT) environments. This includes implementing zero-trust architectures, continuous monitoring, and incident response strategies to safeguard against evolving threats.
