In a short span of five years, private 4G and 5G networks have stirred much excitement. But do the outcomes justify the hype? Enterprises wrestle with choices between Do-It-Yourself, managed services, and public operator network slices. How do neutral hosts and system integrators help? What are the most viable technologies for private wireless? Private network deployments are generally customized for the client, and it is hard to compare the costs and benefits. So do CIOs know how to evaluate their choices, and do they have the real-world data to compare? Are there pitfalls in implementation that they should consider while planning private network deployment? Let’s find out.

Our guest for today is Michael Zeto, Chief Commercial Officer at Boingo Wireless.  Michael is a wireless industry veteran. Before Boingo, he worked at AT&T as Vice President for Internet of Things solutions and Founder & General Manager for AT&T’s Smart Cities solutions. He co-founded and served as CEO of Proximus Mobility. He also serves on the Board of Directors of the Metro Atlanta Chamber and Technology Association of Georgia.

In short, he has extensive experience in the wireless industry and brings unique perspectives to new technology adoptions. 

In our discussion today, we will uncover a few things, such as: 

-        Specific examples of innovation leveraging private networks?

-        Quantitative benefits of private networks?

-        Adoption hurdles that still exist today, and 

-        How can enterprises navigate through the maze of choices?
