PROJECT DESCRIPTION

TRENDS AND OPPORTUNITIES

Businesses are undergoing digital transformation to facilitate new models and adapt to market changes with increased flexibility. This shift unlocks operational efficiencies, advanced intelligence, and enhances organizational security.

To meet these demands, enterprise organizations necessitate high-quality, reliable, and efficient wireless networks for their business operations.

However, digitization also introduces potential threats, such as cybersecurity attacks and the loss of intellectual property or trade secrets. Some losses, not easily quantifiable in monetary terms, could disrupt production flows, supply chains, or transportation of people.

BUSINESS BENEFITS

The business opportunity lies in guiding customers to adopt emerging wireless technologies like Private 5G, creating unified access and security policies alongside existing services.

WBA members stand in a distinctive position to seize this opportunity, leveraging its global industry focus on interoperable wireless solutions. It offers valuable guidance to enterprises aiming to implement private networks using Wi-Fi and/or 5G technologies.

Implementing enterprise networking methods, such as ZeroTrust and security policies, in private wireless networks builds trust in a market exploring diverse use cases. This approach prioritizes business outcomes and convergent procedures applicable across all wireless technologies.

EXPECTED DELIVERABLES

Develop a technical guideline paper which will:

  • Offer comprehensive insights and guidance from a wireless industry perspective
  • Address technical aspects such as integrating Private 5G into enterprise networks and existing security processes
  • Provide recommendations on leveraging existing security policies within the enterprise network
  • Outline essential cybersecurity measures for securing Private 5G
  • Ensure project outcomes align with industry best practices and standards
  • Facilitate the adoption of Private 5G networks in the enterprise sector
