"Hybrid networks provide a cheaper alternative to dedicated private networks, but each deployment model has downsides which suppliers must factor in."
Publicly shared RAN, core network sharing and neutral host private networks can all reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the network. However, each solution has tradeoffs which the private network supplier must consider to ensure the right deployment model is provided to match the customer’s individual needs.
