Private 5G Network Deployments to Exceed 18,000 Worldwide in 2028: Kaleido Intelligence

LONDON, UK – 13th September 2023: A new report from Kaleido Intelligence, a leading connectivity market intelligence and consulting firm, has found that after a slow start private 5G will accelerate rapidly in the coming years, growing to almost 19,000 active networks in 2028, growing at a CAGR of 115% from 2023.

5G Brings New Capabilities & New Spectrum

The new research, Private LTE & 5G Networks: 2023-2028, notes that enterprises are increasingly concerned about the ability of private networks to meet their specific needs, rather than raw network capacity.

Historically, LTE has been able to provide many of these capabilities. However, the flexibility that 5G provides, particularly guaranteed quality-of-service through 5G network slicing, appeals to many enterprises. As a result, we expect most private networks to be 5G by 2027, with 69% of manufacturing private network sites utilising 5G in that year.
