One is the standalone private 5G, and another is by having some sharing with the mobile network operators, which could be termed as integrated with the public 5G network. Now standalone is where the private 5G player procures all the devices and manages them independently. In case of integrated model, here the private 5G network works in collaboration with mobile network operators. Now there's one interesting option with this integrated model is the RAN sharing or the sharing of a radio access network. What does that mean?
