Service providers have been banging on about the benefits of private 5G networks for the manufacturing industry, but that vertical has been reluctant to move forward with 5G technologies.


In this podcast interview, Omdia analysts Pablo Tomasi and Anna Ahrens explain why the manufacturing industry, oft-cited as fertile ground for 5G, hasn't been that excited about private 5G network adoption.


\"[5G] has a large promise of ultra-reliable, low-latency communications, which is actually a basic requirement of industrial communication,\" said Ahrens. \"But what no one counted on or what no one expected is that it is not ready to go technology, it is a technology which still needs to be evolved.\"


In addition, Ahrens and Tomasi dive into their joint research report, Demystifying Private 5G in Manufacturing: How to Seize a New Opportunity, and explain what can be done about the mismatch of expectations for 5G between the telcos and manufacturing sector.
