Key Benefits of Private Networks
- Better network control
- Increased security
- Customizable and flexible
- Network availability/coverage
- Scalable
In instances where reliable speeds and bandwidth are in demand, private networks can offer greater assurance to those applications.
What are private 5G and LTE networks?
Private LTE and 5G networks (referred to as “non-public networks” by 3GPP, are networks that use licensed, shared, or unlicensed wireless spectrum and LTE or 5G cellular networking base stations, small cells, and other Radio Access Networks (RAN) infrastructure to transmit voice and data to edge devices, including smartphones, embedded modules, routers, and gateways.
LTE is a 4G cellular networking technology that offers secure, reliable, and fast connectivity.
5G offers many performance advantages over LTE, including faster data transmission, lower latency, and the ability to connect to more edge devices.
How do private LTE and private 5G networks work?
Technically, private LTE and 5G networks work the same as public LTE and 5G networks operated by any (MNOs). Edge devices use wireless spectrum to transmit data to nearby cellular base stations, access points, and other network infrastructure. The infrastructure then carries this data to the enterprise’s internal network over a secured wired connection. Using this secured connection, data from edge devices can be sent to various cloud services and applications. To transmit data back to the edge devices, the same process happens in reverse.
The difference between public and private LTE and 5G networks resides in who has a license or priority access to the wireless spectrum, and who owns and operates the network’s base stations and infrastructure.
With public LTE and 5G networks, the MNO owns and operates the spectrum and the network infrastructure.
With private LTE and 5G networks, private organizations own, operate, or have some level of priority access to the network’s infrastructure or spectrum. The amount of network infrastructure and spectrum owned and operated can vary greatly.
Use Cases:
- Robots, Robotic warehouses and logistics complexes, unmanned vehicles.
- Power generation, power supply, and transport Industries.
- Broadband wireless radio communication technologies (MCPTT services).
- Airports, ports, hospitals, and stadiums
