Private wireless networks empower businesses to transform their operations. How? By providing the secure, reliable, flexible wireless connectivity that business-critical applications demand.
Automation. Digital transformation. Industrial internet of things (IoT). Powering the future of business requires high-performance, reliable wireless connectivity capable of securing critical communications, while expanding capacity to manage increased data demands.
Quick to install and easy to set up, Wi-Fi has become the standard for connecting devices within relatively small areas. But its limitations surrounding capacity, reach, and security present many challenges. Especially as device usage, introduction of IoT applications, and increased demand on local networks test Wi-Fi’s ability to keep up.
So, what’s the solution? A cellular-based network capable of reaching a wider area — allowing for expanded data capacity, increased speeds, and greater security — a private wireless network.
What Is a Private Wireless Network?
A private wireless network is a cellular network similar to a public cellular network, yet independent of these macro networks, but on a much smaller scale and focused on a specific localized area. Unlike a larger public cellular network, a private network is dedicated to supporting the connectivity of a specific organization’s requirements.
A private wireless network allows organizations to customize their networks for specific applications that can benefit from high reliability, low latency, and secure dedicated connectivity. These networks can be optimized to support applications that require independence from the potentially congested and unpredictable public wireless spectrum. And because Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) frequencies introduced by the FCC can be accessed in the United States, data is kept local while offering greater range, capacity, security, and interoperability.
The control and customization in implementing a local cellular network make it suitable for a wide range of business settings — stadiums, airports, shipping ports, railroads, mines, oil and gas fields, warehouses, factories, agriculture, smart cities, and public transportation. Rural locations with relatively poor cell coverage can also benefit from the implementation of private wireless networks.
Private Wireless Networks: Opportunities and Challenges
The possibilities that a private wireless network brings to both enterprises and rural markets are exciting. But the implementation of localized cellular networks requires specific knowledge and expertise. A successful private wireless network rollout requires familiarity with the technologies and equipment used to construct and maintain a typical mobile network. To build and manage a private wireless network, enterprises will have to consider tapping into the broad knowledge of a service provider that has private wireless expertise and the connections to help implement the various network infrastructure components.
Experience Counts
Syniverse assists enterprises in implementing private wireless network services that seamlessly enable mobile devices to transition between private and public cellular networks. This crucial capability is achieved through a combination of our Private Wireless Network solution with Automated Network Reselection, our Global SIM products, and trusted partnerships. This allows for uninterrupted service as devices move beyond the confines of the private network, ensuring consistent connectivity and user experience.
By facilitating this seamless transition, Syniverse empowers enterprises to harness the benefits of private networks, such as enhanced security and performance, while maintaining the flexibility and coverage provided through our large footprint of connections with globally located public cellular networks.
