Professional radio networks: What potential for private 4G/5G solutions?

Tactis, in partnership with Athonet, Hub One and Kontron, has carried out a study on professional radio networks in France and their potential for evolving towards private 4G/5G solutions.

Use cases from our communities and industrial players, tailor-made solutions to address them, technological building blocks, economic models, prospects for sharing radio frequencies and/or infrastructure, pooling and governance schemes, needs for new skills, etc.: the study made it possible to examine these multiple key questions and issues, in conjunction with stakeholders.
