Private LTE/5G networks for a single enterprise, campus or industrial site. Dedicated spectrum where available, shared spectrum where not. A standalone mobile operator, for one customer.
Private LTE/5G networks for a single enterprise, campus or industrial site. Dedicated spectrum where available, shared spectrum where not. A standalone mobile operator, for one customer.
Spectrum regulators in the US (CBRS), Germany, UK, Japan and others have set aside bands for private mobile networks. The result: enterprises that used to wire their facilities with Wi-Fi can now run their own LTE/5G. Better coverage, deterministic latency, no contention with public users.
Private EPC / 5GC. HSS, MME, SGW, PGW all dedicated to your enterprise. No traffic leaves your perimeter unless you want it to.
Sensor density, AGV telemetry, predictive maintenance, worker safety wearables. Private 5G handles connection densities Wi-Fi cannot.
PTT over LTE, dispatch consoles, group calls. Replace ageing LMR/TETRA with broadband voice and data on one network.
This is not theory. Mines, ports, factories, hospitals and military bases run private LTE/5G today. The question is whether yours should.
Autonomous haul trucks, remote operation centres, worker location. Wi-Fi does not survive the pit; LTE does.
Automated straddle carriers, crane remote control, container tracking. Private 5G delivers the latency Wi-Fi cannot.
AGV fleets, machine vision, predictive maintenance. Density and reliability that Wi-Fi was never engineered to deliver.
Mission-critical voice, asset tracking, classified traffic that cannot ride public networks. Isolated core, full control.
Spectrum is the gating issue. Three workable paths depending on jurisdiction and use case.
Where the regulator offers enterprise licences (Germany 3.7-3.8 GHz, UK shared access, Japan 4.6-4.9 GHz local). You get a clean band; no interference to manage.
US CBRS (3.55-3.7 GHz) is the model. Priority access licences coexist with general authorised access under a spectrum coordinator. Lower cost, more coordination overhead.
Operator builds the network on its own spectrum (or a wholesale partner’s), enterprise buys capacity under SLA. Fastest deployment, least spectrum risk for the enterprise.
