Celona & Mobile Experts Detail How Enterprises are Realizing Benefits of CBRS-Based Private Wireless in New Case Study

CAMPBELL, CALIFORNIA, USA, August 31, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Celona, the industry’s innovator of 5G LAN solutions, and Mobile Experts, Inc., a leading analyst firm providing market analysis for the mobile infrastructure market, today released a new report comparing the business case for CBRS-based private wireless versus conventional enterprise Wi-Fi and private cellular offerings from vendors that have traditionally served large carrier public cellular infrastructure.

The report revealed that in some enterprise industrial use cases, a CBRS-based 5G LAN delivered a 50 to 75 percent annual cost savings by eliminating network-related production disruptions that result in significant loss in material and labor costs. In one specific use case, return on investment (ROI) payback of three months provided a real-world view into the critical motivations of industrial enterprises seeking reliable private cellular wireless solutions.

“Our research focused on the real-world use of new private wireless technology, and we found that CBRS-based wireless infrastructure can deliver some fairly profound cost savings and return on investment in industrial environments,” said Kyung Mun, Principal Analyst, and report author from Mobile Experts. “Using a private cellular LAN, one industrial steel manufacturer was effectively able to save up to $2.7 million a year in labor and material costs by avoiding operational disruptions they experienced using Wi-Fi.”
Since private cellular radios using the CBRS spectrum in the United States can offer much greater wireless coverage cell sizes, a private cellular network requires fewer access points than Wi-Fi, both indoors and out. The report showed a significant wireless coverage advantage with private cellular over Wi-Fi 6 in actual customer deployments that translated into 4-6x fewer indoor and outdoor access points required to cover a given area while delivering superior mobility, reliability, and security.

PRIVATE WIRELESS BUSINESS CASE HIGHLIGHTS:

For manufacturing and warehousing environments, unplanned downtime can directly lead to loss of revenue and hamper profitability goals. The report examined a real-world CBRS-based 5G LAN deployment for a U.S. steel manufacturer that showed the total private cellular network cost can be less than Wi-Fi 6.

The report examined and modeled the total network costs including hardware and software components of a radio network, LAN/WAN switching, cabling and labor costs associated with AP installation, and cable pulls to the APs. The findings showed that a fully integrated 5G LAN system can deliver a 30 to 200 percent cost savings when compared to enterprise Wi-Fi and carrier vendor infrastructure respectively.

“With reliable private cellular 5G LANs proving to deliver a quick and compelling ROI, we believe industrial enterprises will increasingly seek private cellular networks to augment Wi-Fi networks and take on digitizing more of their business-critical process workflows,” said Özer Dondurmacıoğlu, VP of Strategic Accounts at Celona. “As a result, accelerating how they do business and how fast they serve their customers.”
