This Globalstar guide explains how 5G private networks are becoming essential for industrial IoT, smart manufacturing, logistics, and energy operations where public cellular and Wi-Fi fall short due to congestion, coverage gaps, and security risks. It compares network types—Wi-Fi, mesh, LPWAN, hybrid, and private 5G—highlighting 5G’s advantages in ultra-reliable, low-latency, scalable, and secure connectivity. Private 5G enables real-time automation, predictive maintenance, and uninterrupted data exchange across large sites. The featured XCOM RAN solution uses a supercell architecture to eliminate handoffs, boost capacity 4x over traditional 5G, and leverage edge processing for low latency, while simplifying scalability and reducing infrastructure complexity.
