Working Group 4

WG4 — Enterprise & Industry

WG4 bridges the gap between Private Cellular Network use case(s) and real-world Enterprise and Industry deployments. By aggregating use cases, identifying adoption barriers, and validating ODA outputs against vertical requirements, WG4 ensures the ODA certification ecosystem remains grounded in the needs of the Industries it serves.

Mandate

Connecting Specification to Deployment

Enterprise-Driven: WG4 surfaces real-world requirements from Enterprise, Industry, and vertical-specific stakeholders to inform WG2 specification priorities.

Vertical Coverage: WG4 maintains active engagement across a wide range of Enterprise and Industry verticals, ensuring ODA outputs address the breadth of private cellular deployment environments.

Coverage

Industry Verticals

WG4 maintains active engagement and use case documentation across the following verticals.

⚙️Manufacturing & Industrial

Private cellular for factory automation, robotics coordination, and real-time process control across manufacturing floors and industrial campuses.

🏥Healthcare & Life Sciences

Secure, low-latency connectivity for medical devices, patient monitoring, and connected care environments requiring carrier-grade reliability.

📦Logistics & Warehousing

Always-on wireless for automated guided vehicles, inventory tracking, and real-time asset management across large-scale distribution centers.

🚨Public Safety & First Responder

Mission-critical push-to-talk, real-time video, and situational awareness over private LTE/5G for law enforcement, fire, and emergency services.

⛏️Mining & Extraction

Ruggedized private networks for underground and open-pit operations, enabling remote equipment control, worker safety monitoring, and environmental sensing.

🚢Transportation & Ports

High-throughput connectivity for port logistics, cargo tracking, autonomous vehicle coordination, and rail network management.

🏙️Smart Cities & Infrastructure

Scalable private and hybrid cellular for traffic management, utility grid monitoring, public Wi-Fi offload, and municipal IoT deployments.

✈️Airports

Integrated private networks for airside operations, ground support equipment tracking, passenger flow management, and security systems.

🛢️Oil & Gas

Explosion-proof private LTE/5G for upstream and downstream operations, remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and worker safety in hazardous environments.

🎖️Military & NATO

Secure, sovereign private cellular architectures for tactical operations, base connectivity, and interoperable communications across allied forces.

🏢Corporate & Campus

High-density private wireless for corporate headquarters, multi-building campuses, and enterprise IoT enabling smart building automation, access control, and mobility services.

📚University & K-12

Affordable, manageable private LTE/5G for K-12 schools and higher education institutions supporting digital equity, device connectivity, and secure network segmentation.

Ecosystem Role

WG4 Priorities

WG4 is driven by Enterprise and Industry input. The following items are being scoped as the Working Group continues to scale. We value the voice of the Enterprise, bring your use case requirements to the ODA to drive meaningful change in the device ecosystem.

WG4-P1
Vertical Adoption Barrier AnalysisIn Formation

Systematic documentation of technical, regulatory, and procurement barriers to private cellular adoption across WG4 industry verticals.

WG4-P2
ODA Output Validation FrameworkIn Formation

Guidelines for mapping ODA-certified device capabilities to enterprise deployment requirements, enabling verticals to assess certification relevance.
