Network in a Box – Hyperscalers are Moving into Private Networks
Hyperscalers are now intricately involved in private wireless networks. Amazon Web Services has its AWS Private 5G offering that it pitches as a “starter kit” for enterprises that want a fully managed pay-as-you-go private 5G network. And Microsoft Azure has its Affirmed Private Network Services, which it touts as a fully managed and configurable private cellular network for both LTE and 5G core networks. Are these offerings complementary or competitive to wireless operator private networks? Do cloud companies have an edge with enterprises because they already offer them public cloud services? This panel will look at the increasingly complex world of private networking.
