Scaling Private 5G: Lessons from the Enterprise Frontlines
Private 5G is no longer just a proof-of-concept technology—it's being deployed at scale to solve real business challenges. Yet many enterprises still face questions about cost, complexity, spectrum choice, integration, and ROI.
This panel brings together enterprise leaders, integrators, and technology providers to share first-hand lessons from real deployments for in-building connectivity. In a lively discussion that cuts through the hype and provides practical guidance for organizations considering or expanding private 5G network infrastructure, panelists will highlight case studies in logistics, utilities, and manufacturing—showcasing how private 5G has enabled secure video surveillance, connected worker safety, autonomous robotics, and critical IoT applications.
The conversation will explore spectrum strategies (CBRS, C-Band), operational models (on-premises vs. cloud-managed), and integration challenges with IT and OT systems. Panelists will also share insights on organizational change management, ROI justification, and building strong partner ecosystems to ensure long-term success. Attendees will leave with actionable insights on how to avoid common pitfalls and replicate successful approaches in their own organizations, making private 5G an engine for enterprise innovation and Industry 4.0 transformation.
