The latest research from consultancy Analysys Mason, which tracks MPN deployments worldwide, finds that mobile operators have increased their share of MPN deals significantly during the past year, from just 22% at the end of 2020 to 32% in Q3 2021.
Analysys Mason reports that there are now 256 publicly announced private LTE or 5G networks worldwide.
In 5G networks (versus LTE), operators are particularly strong. “There were 104 announcements in total for 5G networks [in 2021] and…operators acted as the main contractor in 44% of these 5G networks,” says Analyst Ibraheem Kasujee, speaking during a podcast.
