A globally recognized leader
Gartner has been publishing a “4G and 5G Private Mobile Network Services” report based on its Magic Quadrant research methodology for two years, and Verizon made it both times. The report provides the competitive positioning of companies across four categories: Leaders, Visionaries, Niche Players, and Challengers.Verizon shares the Leaders category with international giants such as T-Mobile’s parent company, Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone, Orange Business, and Telefónica.
Gartner assessed companies based on their “Ability to Execute” and “Completeness of Vision” related to their activity in the private mobile network services (PMN) market. PMN services are dedicated 4G or 5G networks customized for specific organizations.
They are often deployed by companies in factories, warehouses, ports, and mines for high-performance networking, improved reliability, enhanced coverage, and better security.
As Robb Juliano, VP of 5G Acceleration at Verizon Business, points out, private networking is more than just providing the infrastructure; it’s about closely coordinating with customers to ensure smooth operations. The company’s achievement highlights its technical expertise and commitment to customer service.
We feel this repeat placement as a Leader reinforces the strength of Verizon’s strategic approach to the market, which is centered on meticulous customer service, deep subject-matter expertise end-to-end, and second-to-none spectrum assets.

The competitive edge
While AT&T and T-Mobile also offer PMN services, Verizon‘s exclusive Leader status underscores its technical maturity.
Verizon has, in theory, been found to be a better fit than its rivals for companies that want to improve their operational performance and efficiency, and boost their revenue. Verizon is a reliable option with a clear strategy, allowing organizations to meet their goals.
The new frontier
A 2025 report said that demand for private wireless networks was increasing, with a lot of room for growth. Companies have been getting creative about their offerings. For instance, T-Mobile offers a portable 5G private network that can quickly be set up whenever needed.
The carrier market has matured, which is why providing differentiated services has become all the more important for companies to keep their edge.
