Internet of things deployments will likely rely on private networks rather than the public internet for connectivity, a study conducted by Omdia suggests. That should come as no surprise, if IoT deployment volumes grow as much as some expect.
The study included 200 enterprise executives in North America and Europe in several vertical industries already using or in the process of deploying IoT, including financial services, retail, manufacturing, healthcare and hospitality.
About 46 percent of respondents already use private networks and 40 percent are evaluating private networks to support their IoT deployments. That might tend to be important if private 4G and 5G networks operated by enterprises prove to be as big as Nokia hopes.
If an enterprise uses its own private 5G network to support mission-critical operations, why would it not use a more-secure private WAN to support those operations, as enteprises now use private WANs?
