In this episode of the 5G Guys podcast, hosts Dan McVaugh and Wayne Smith explore private wireless networks with guest Jeff Hipchen, a Principal of RF Connect. They discuss how private wireless networks are utilized differently, giving examples in healthcare, professional sports, and higher education sectors. Hipchen emphasizes that private networks allow businesses to control their destiny as they allow the customization and security not offered by public networks. He also highlights how these networks supplement existing services like Wi-Fi and address capacity issues caused by the ever-growing number of devices and applications in use. Lastly, he touches on the potential for even smaller enterprises to improve connectivity.
