Our private network ROI tool enables different types of companies to evaluate the business case and quantify the return on investment (ROI) of a private 5G network and specific use cases enabled for various industry verticals.
The tool enables the user to do the following:
- Understand the potential benefits of four value-adding use cases (enabled by the private network) on key business metrics
- Assess the costs associated with various network components, use cases (e.g., devices) and other elements involved in an overall solution
- Enable a richer conversation with enterprise customers, focused on the business value of private networks.

The tool assesses the value of four key use cases, based on an in-depth prioritisation exercise done by STL Partners. These use cases are applicable to multiple industry verticals and in many cases, have driven several deployments of private networks in these industries:
- Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs)
- Push-to-x communication
- Augmented reality (AR) for maintenance, repair and operations (MRO)
- Advanced predictive maintenance
