Why Private wireless networks?
While both private wireless networks and Wi-Fi offer wireless connectivity, they differ in ownership, security, reliability, scalability, and use cases. Private networks are tailored for specific organizational needs, prioritizing control, security, performance, and reliability, while Wi-Fi provides convenient internet access for a wide range of devices and environments. Wi-Fi networks can be reliable within their coverage areas but may experience interference and congestion, particularly in densely populated areas or environments with many connected devices. Private Wireless Networks are commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and utilities for mission-critical applications that require high sense of urgency, security, and reliability. In contrast, Wi-Fi is widely used technology for basic internet access in homes, businesses, and public spaces. Use of Augmented Reality (AR) or Virtual Reality (VR) and sensitive data secrecy in education sector is a great example to understand the requirement of private wireless network.
