Private 5G in Warehouses: Solving the Connectivity Challenges Wi-Fi Can’t in the Warehouse of Tomorrow

Transforming Warehouse Connectivity with Private 5G

 
Warehouses are under increasing strain from rising throughput demands and ongoing labor challenges. Traditional Wi-Fi networks can no longer support the scale, mobility, and reliability required for automated and data-driven operations.
 
This whitepaper, developed by ABI Research and XCOM RAN by Globalstar, quantifies the financial and operational value of deploying a private 5G network using the XCOM RAN platform. The findings reveal how private cellular delivers faster ROI, reduces downtime, improves safety, and enhances workforce productivity compared to conventional connectivity solutions.

Topics Covered: 

• Warehousing Challenges: The growing gap between throughput requirements and infrastructure limitations
• Connectivity Evolution: Why Wi-Fi can’t meet automation and mobility demands
• Quantifying the Value of Private 5G: ROI and Cost of Inaction analysis from ABI Research
• Mobile Robotics: Enabling AGVs and AMRs to operate 30% faster with ultra-reliable connectivity
• Autonomous Operations: Real-time optimization and reduced downtime across warehouse systems
• Connected Worker Applications: Safer, more efficient, and better-trained workforce through low-latency connectivity
• Strategic Recommendations: Deployment, retrofitting, and security considerations for successful implementation
• XCOM RAN by Globalstar: A purpose-built private 5G solution for industrial-grade performance and scalability
