The appetite for private networks is growing, as 61% of enterprises will have deployed private LTE and 5G networks in 2 or more sites by 2023. To ease these enterprises’ management burden and to lower their network TCO, QCT has included a local user plane function (UPF) in its enterprise 5G solution, supporting up to 4 local sites per core network, with the capacity to connect 1,024 user equipment devices per local UPF.
