Kaleido Intelligence chose Baicells Technologies, the manufacturer of fixed wireless LTE and 5G hardware solutions, to be the top private network vendor. Baicells beat its competitors Athonet, Redline Communications, Telefonica, Vodafone, Ericsson, floLive, Geoverse, Quortus, Samsung, Telit and Verizon to align with Kaleido, which is a specialist consulting and research firm focused on telecom technologies.
Kaleido recently released a market research report citing that enterprise private LTE and 5G networks would be a $7.3 billion market by 2026, with 76% of this tied to private LTE networks. The market is set to grow at a CAGR of 55% between 2019 and 2026, largely due to private interests driven by global regulatory activity that is set to release dedicated spectrum along with a growing need to deploy monitoring, automation, and other broadband services in enterprise environments. Enterprises in the Manufacturing, Energy, and Utilities sector will account for the majority of deployments for private networks due to the market’s heavy reliance on automation, sensing, and robotics which require the reliability and performance that can only be met by LTE and 5G technologies.
Kaleido chose Baicells as the top player in the telecommunications private network’s market, citing the organization’s high level of growth over the past 6 years which Kaleido attributes to Baicells leading hardware and software offerings. Kaleido called Baicells key strength the ability to greatly simplify a private network’s entire solution, which makes it easy for engineers to operate and maintain networks thereby removing the barriers between communications technologies and IT.
Baicells has built a wide portfolio of fixed wireless LTE and 5G hardware solutions, which have seen wide adoption with the implementation of CBRS spectrum in the United States. The COVID-19 pandemic further spurred the need for high-speed Internet across communities and organizations so they could keep their residents and students connected while quarantining. Most notably, the City of Las Vegas and multiple school districts across Utah, have adopted Baicells equipment to build out their own private LTE networks. Both organizations have built their networks to provide high-speed internet to low-income students but are expanding their networks for additional purposes such as telehealth, public safety, and IoT connectivity.
“We are very honored to be chosen by Kaleido as their top-performing vendor for private networks,” said Minchul Ho, GM of Baicells North America. “Since Baicells relatively recent establishment, we’ve strived to provide our customers with the easiest, most affordable, and reliable private LTE hardware solutions in the wireless market. CBRS and the upcoming opportunities with 5G have provided us with the ability to dedicate further resources to research and development so we can continue innovating and challenging the traditional wireless ecosystem. Wireless is the future and we don’t want to limit anyone from being able to set up their own private LTE network. We want everyone to be able to take full advantage of what is currently possible with this technology. This accolade from Kaleido is a reflection of the hard work we’ve put towards democratizing private networks and we happily accept this award.”
