I see a lot of buzzwords on this page. Can someone explain what's the actual benefit of this and why it's important?

  tl;dr warehouses, factories and other places similar in size to a campus can create their own wireless network based on their 5G stack (vs WiFi, LoRa, 4G) to communicate between nodes, usually things like weather seasors on warehouse rooftops, robot telemetry on factory floors, etc

    Thank you! Why can't they just say this. It actually makes a lot of sense and I would be interested, if it wasn't for all these non-sense buzzwords. Anyway, thank you again for explaining.

      np, i'm in the space myself and am actively exploring vendors :) tbh there's not much in this space rn that's not a deep integration, so unless you're looking for it, the material can be a bit opaque

    And does this include things like positioning? I remember some buzz around indoor positioning in 5G, but I'm hazy on whether it was built in, or just general speculation.

      i dont think any of the vendors claim positioning capability solely on 5G in their published literature, their engineers whisper about interesting demos with stuff "around the corner", but I'd take that with a grain of salt you'd need at least three nodes apparently :)
