The Role of Neutral Host Models in Expanding the Adoption of Private Wireless Networks

Abstract The telecommunications industry is currently experiencing a crucial transition driven by the integration of enterprise digitization, the limitations of traditional indoor connectivity solutions, and the expansion of radio spectrum. This research paper provides a comprehensive techno-economic and architectural analysis of Neutral Host Networks (NHNs) and their crucial role in accelerating the deployment of Private Wireless Networks (PWNs). The paper critically assesses the shift from traditional Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) to advanced, virtualized architectures such as the Multi-Operator Core Network (MOCN). By thoroughly analyzing deployment data, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) models, and spectral efficiency measures, this study shows that NHNs utilizing shared spectrum (notably CBRS) and small cell configurations provide a revolutionary alternative to older methods. The analysis is backed by real-world evidence from large deployments by Meta, Cummins, and the University of Virginia, demonstrating the operational efficiency of hybrid public-private network models. Additionally, we examine the impact of 3GPP Release 17 standards and Open RAN development. The findings indicate that the Neutral Host model is more than just a coverage extender; it is a key facilitator for the "middle enterprise" private 5G market, which is expected to create significant economic value by 2030.
