Private LTE is a privately owned cellular network comprising various components, including radio equipment (both indoor and outdoor), mobile core software, SIM cards, and network orchestration software, tailored to meet the specific needs of an organization.
The main components of private LTE are infrastructure and services. Infrastructure refers to the fundamental physical facilities of a company, area, or country and often involves the creation of public goods or manufacturing processes. The technologies involved are frequency-division duplexing and time division duplexing, deployed in centralized and distributed models for applications such as public safety, logistics and supply chain, and asset management. End users of private LTE networks include sectors such as utilities, mining, oil and gas, manufacturing, transportation and logistics, government and public safety, healthcare, and others.
The private LTE market consists of revenues earned by entities by providing private and customized 4G internet services. The market value includes the value of related goods sold by the service provider or included within the service offering. The private LTE market also includes sales of remote radio head (RRH) devices, eNodeB and EPC (evolved packet core) which are used in providing private LTE services. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.
The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).
The revenues for a specified geography are consumption values that are revenues generated by organizations in the specified geography within the market, irrespective of where they are produced. It does not include revenues from resales along the supply chain, either further along the supply chain or as part of other products.
