The fusion of fifth generation (5G) networks, Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI), referred to as intelligent connectivity by most industry experts, can be seen as a crucial success factor for sustainable digitalization. Until recently, research into these key triad technologies has been conducted in isolation. One of the promising applications of intelligent connectivity is wireless private networks. This article presents a conceptual business model framework that can be adopted by AI-driven private 5G-IoT networks. These emerging and disruptive private networks will certainly change the mobile business landscape. Private network operators should therefore rethink and adapt their business models in order to remain economically competitive, create innovative mobile services and support sustainable practices.
