5G Private Networks in Industry 4.0, Trends, Opportunities and Challenges (Hall 8, Booth D17)

By 2030, mobile networks will need to connect up to 100 billion devices. The Internet of Things (IoT), in particular, is forcing network operators to offer different types of connectivity services, differentiated by speed and priority requirements. This means a deterministic experience with lower latency and higher reliability is needed, and a new form of wireless IoT with low power consumption and passive connections must be created.
