Overview
Stay ahead of the digital transformation curve by learning why and how private networks are being deployed.

Private broadband networks are rapidly evolving. As an engineer, there's a growing need to be aware of the key differences between public and private networks, their potential uses, as well as how mission-critical deployments differ from public safety networks. 

Private networks are also becoming particularly important in industry, where digital transformation is increasing the demand for smart factories, industrial robotics, AI, IoT, and autonomous vehicles. 

This webinar will build your understanding of these trends, and what they mean in an Australian context. It will also get you up-to-speed on the key underlying technologies, such as 4G, 5G, and Wi-Fi. 

By the end of this webinar, you’ll have a deeper knowledge about different types of deployments, equipment requirements, spectrum availability, and costs. You’ll also learn about the use of private networks in railways and public safety systems.
