Private 4G/5G networks are changing the way that many industries conduct business and are helping to accelerate progress as organizations implement their Industry 4.0 strategies.

Betacom 5G as a Service enables enterprises of all sizes to eliminate these barriers.

"We are thrilled our service is being recognized at a critical time when many enterprises are looking to enable their Industry 4.0 plans," says Johan Bjorklund, CEO of Betacom. "Today's recognition underscores Betacom's ability to help organizations advance their Industrial IoT strategies, manage their limited resources, and embrace new business models in the process."

This recognition closely follows Betacom being named to The Puget Sound Business Journal's 100 Fastest-Growing Private Companies list.
