For $14,000 I could buy several BaiCells eNodeBs outright and deploy Open5GS in-house and never have a recurring monthly expense outside of like... $10/month in Spectrum Access System fees.
This a big deal for open pit mines where you don’t always have cell connectivity. Managing and routing vehicles and collecting their telemetry is a massive pain. Existing solutions rely on installing Wi-Fi repeaters everywhere which gets expensive real quick.
