Concepts and business models for modern wireless networks – 5G, LoRa, WiFi 6 as a chance for suppliers and the telco industry

Modern wireless technologies and glass fiber based networks form the essential components of a gigabit society. The number of applications of wireless networks has been increasing significantly within the past years. Whereas past developments aimed at achieving higher bandwidths, it is nowadays more important to create a wide range of new application profiles. Autonomous driving, industry 4.0, surveillance of critical infrastructures, and general Internet of things require more than pure bandwidth in the future. For this purpose, other wireless standards besides the mobile network have been developed for different demands. The selection of the right technology and standard is closely connected to the development of the right business model. 5G, LoRa, WiFi 6, LTE@450 are currently the relevant standards.

Besides the glass fiber rollout, the introduction of the next generation mobile network, also known as 5G, is on top of the agenda of telecommunications companies, industry, and politics for the following years. For the first time in history of mobile networks, 5G is the first to cover very different requirements with just one standard or rather one technology. This is why 5G is considered the most promising candidate for many applications. However, for specific requirements, for instance the management of critical infrastructures, other wireless solutions have been considered. In order to select the right technology, commercial and technical requirements have to be analyzed carefully.

For this purpose, LATUS’ consultants transform end customers’ requirements in complex technical parameters of wireless networks, in order to determine the right frequency, technology and standard. LATUS consulting provides support in business modeling, application analyses, the overall application process to get mobile network and local 5G frequencies as well as the operative implementation of strategies and concepts.
