Private networks powered by 4G/5G cellular wireless technologies offer unparalleled capability and are backed by a huge commercial ecosystem.

In contrast, public networks often cannot meet extreme requirements for coverage, capacity, reliability, security, low latency, or low power devices. Private networks not only overcome these challenges but the now evolved ecosystem makes it feasible for use by organizations across a variety of sectors.

This whitepaper explores in-depth the reasons for deploying private cellular networks and why 4G/5G cellular technology is technically best suited for deploying private networks.

Key factors that support private network deployment

The supplier ecosystem
Enterprises and industries can leverage the immensely capable, proven technology and huge supplier ecosystem of 4G/5G commercial cellular mobile for their own private network needs.

Spectrum availability
Spectrum licensing models globally are suitable spectrum for private cellular networks.

5G cellular’s radio performance
The radios in 5G networks can also be optimized to simultaneously support different uses: eMBB (enhanced mobile broadband), mMTC (massive machine-type communications), and URLLC (ultra‐reliable and low latency communications).
