5G Networks for Industrial Applications: the Ecosystem of NPNs
2021
The number of mobile voice subscriptions per capita tends to stagnate worldwide, including in developing countries [1]. Despite the fact that the demand for data transmission is increasing and is expected to continue, telecommunication providers need to search for new revenue streams [2]. With the support of established and implementable standards, it is now possible to satisfy broad and demanding data transmission needs at speeds of up to 1 Gbps while handling millions of users with latency as low as a few milliseconds [3]. Service flexibility improved dramatically in tandem with capacity developments. Furthermore, small-scale networks can be built more cost-effectively by concentrating on a few essential criteria.
