Summary | With the rapid development of international communication technology, the importance and demand for 5G non-public network is growing globally. Our country has allocated the 4.8-4.9 GHz band for "5G Dedicated Spectrum Non-Public Network" overseen by the Ministry of Digital Affairs. The primary applicants for licenses and network setup are field operators. Since businesses are not familiar with the 5G dedicated spectrum non-public network, this study aims to analyze the current application status, explore the considerations and challenges faced by operators, and assess the feasibility of adoption across different industries, with the goal of encouraging more enterprises to adopt this network. This study uses literature analysis and expert in-depth interview. Designed survey questions focusing on technological implementation, network information security, regulations, and financial operations. The results of this study found that most domestic and international cases are primarily experimental, with few enterprises fully implementing the technology. Financial operations are the main consideration for most enterprises, with high costs being a significant barrier. Small and medium-sized enterprises struggle with maintenance costs and are concerned about return on investment. Additionally, challenges such as organizational culture, talent, service integration capabilities, demand, equipment maturity, and subsidy costs affect adoption. The feasibility assessment suggests that high-tech or large manufacturing industries have a higher likelihood of adopting 5G Dedicated Spectrum Non-Public Network, while other industries face regulatory, financial, and field limitations. |
