The energy and utilities sector is undergoing a digital transformation with the emergence of smart grid technologies, distributed energy resources, and real-time monitoring and control systems. There is a growing need for advanced connectivity solutions to support these new technologies and applications that can provide high-speed, low-latency communication and support massive machine-to-machine (M2M) communications. This is where 5G and CBRS private/public networks come in, offering the potential to revolutionize how energy and utility companies operate and deliver services.

5G and CBRS private/public networks for smart energy and utilities have the potential to enable a range of use cases, such as real-time monitoring and control of power distribution, predictive maintenance of assets, and enhanced customer engagement through smart metering and energy management systems. In addition, by providing high-speed, low-latency connectivity and the ability to support massive M2M communications, these networks can help energy and utility companies to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance service quality.

However, there are challenges and barriers to deploying 5G and CBRS private/public networks in the energy and utilities sector, such as regulatory and spectrum issues, integration with legacy systems, and cybersecurity concerns. This research report will explore the opportunities and challenges of 5G and CBRS private/public networks for smart energy and utilities, and provide insights into the key technologies, use cases, ecosystem players, and regulatory considerations involved. We will also examine the global and regional trends and insights on 5G and CBRS private/public networks for smart energy and utilities and provide recommendations for stakeholders on how to best prepare for the future.
