Security is one of the main motivators for enterprises to adopt 5G private networks, according to Richard Lopez, senior strategic architect at F5.
“The main motivators for enterprises to adopt 5G private networks may be different across the different verticals, but broadly speaking it could be they are needing better wireless coverage than what Wi-Fi can provide—for example, in a large manufacturing facility or at a mining location. Another motivator could be security and data sovereignty where the enterprise wants to keep all their data and communication within their environment and not having that out on the public mobile network,” said Lopez.
