Rising of 5G: Transforming Connectivity with Private Networks for IoT and Industry Applications, and Enhancing Public Network Capabilities for Redundant WAN Connectivity

About the Session

ABOUT THE SESSION

Matt Ogden will share his views on the emerging importance of private cellular networks. Private cellular networks are revolutionizing IoT, user connectivity, safety, and asset monitoring. Technologies like drones and robo-dogs equipped with various sensors enhance these capabilities, providing secure coverage with fewer radios compared to traditional wireless access points. Companies are increasingly adopting private 5G networks, and during his tenure at Marathon Petroleum Corporation (MPC), Matt's team initiated a pilot program at two refineries, which has since expanded to all 16 MPC refineries, demonstrating significant benefits and securing industry-wide adoption. Additionally, public 5G offerings like C-band and Ultrawideband are being utilized for redundant WAN connectivity and as primary options in well-covered areas.

Key Topics

01 Emerging Importance of Private Cellular Networks: Private cellular networks are revolutionizing IoT, user connectivity, safety, and asset monitoring. Technologies such as drones and robo-dogs equipped with various sensors are enhancing these capabilities, providing secure coverage with fewer radios compared to traditional wireless access points.

02 Adoption and Deployment in Industry: Companies are increasingly adopting private 5G networks. Notably, during his tenure at MPC, Matt’s team initiated a pilot program at two refineries, which has since expanded to all 16 MPC refineries, demonstrating significant benefits and securing industry-wide adoption. Public 5G offerings like C-band and Ultrawideband are also being utilized for redundant WAN connectivity and primary roles in well-covered areas.
