A private PLTE network is built for a specific customer and provides for the use of secure SIM cards to ensure data security. At the same time, unlike Wi-Fi, high noise immunity is declared even in rooms and complete isolation of traffic from external networks.
The introduction of private mobile networks for Russian business has become one of the important items of income not only for MegaFon, but also for other operators. According to Kommersant, citing sources in MTS, the latter has already deployed 15 pilot networks and concluded agreements on the creation of a dedicated LTE / 5G-ready infrastructure for representatives of large businesses – Evraz and Severstal.
There is evidence of the introduction of private networks and another large operator. VimpelCom cooperates in this area with TVEL, which is part of Rosatom, as well as Greenatom.
The development of private mobile networks holds great promise for operators. According to Kommersant, citing estimates from Ericsson and Artur D. Little, by 2030, the introduction of smart technologies for business can bring participants up to $ 50 billion.
