Wireless communications are constantly growing in complexity with new protocols, new devices, and new spectrum options. Ensuring all possible combinations work dependably at their peak performance has always been critical for guaranteeing network readiness. But the era of Private 5G and industrial applications adds new dynamics to ensuring the safety and readiness of wireless networks. How can enterprise IT teams ensure that working next to a mobile robot in a factory is safe? How can we be sure that a drone carrying medical supplies will deliver them to the right place? Let’s find out.
