Enterprise Businesses and Why CBRS is Making Private LTE Possible

In today's fast-paced and interconnected world, businesses of all sizes rely heavily on reliable and fast internet connectivity. While Wi-Fi has been the go-to solution for many companies, the increasing demand for bandwidth and the need for more secure and robust networks have paved the way for the emergence of private LTE networks. One technology that is making private LTE more accessible and affordable for enterprise businesses is CBRS, which is growing increasingly fast. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of private LTE for enterprise businesses and why CBRS is a game-changer in this field.

1. What is Private LTE and Why Is It Important for Enterprise Businesses?

Private LTE, also known as dedicated or enterprise LTE, refers to a local cellular network built and managed by a specific organization for internal use. Unlike public LTE networks provided by cellular carriers, private LTE allows businesses to have complete control over their wireless infrastructure. This autonomy brings unparalleled benefits, including increased security, reliability, scalability, and the ability to prioritize critical applications and devices.

2. The Role of CBRS in Enabling Private LTE for Enterprise Businesses:

CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) is150 MHz, a wireless spectrum band that uses the 3.55 GHz to 3.7 GHz frequency range.This spectrum was previously used by the military but has now been made available for commercial use. CBRS provides an excellent opportunity for enterprise businesses to deploy their private LTE networks without the need for costly spectrum licenses.

3. Benefits of Private LTE for Enterprise Businesses:
   
   a. Enhanced Security: Private LTE allows businesses to establish secure and isolated networks, reducing the risk of data breaches and improving data protection.
   b. Improved Reliability: Private LTE networks offer better coverage and higher network reliability compared to Wi-Fi, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity for critical applications.
   c. Network Prioritization: With private LTE, businesses can prioritize specific applications, devices, or departments, guaranteeing optimal network performance for essential operations.
   d. Scalability: Private LTE networks can easily scale to accommodate increasing demands for data and devices, making them suitable for businesses of all sizes.

4. How CBRS Makes Private LTE More Accessible and Affordable:
   
   a. Spectrum Availability: CBRS offers a shared spectrum model, allowing multiple businesses to access the same frequency resources. This shared framework reduces costs and makes private LTE more accessible to a wide range of organizations.
   b. Lower Infrastructure Costs: CBRS leverages existing LTE infrastructure, enabling organizations to leverage their investment in LTE technology, ultimately reducing deployment costs.
   c. Simplified Access to Spectrum: The FCC has introduced a streamlined licensing process for CBRS, making it easier for businesses to acquire the necessary spectrum authorizations.

Private LTE networks have the potential to revolutionize the way enterprise businesses connect and operate.  With increased security, reliability, and scalability, private LTE offers a superior alternative to Wi-Fi for organizations with demanding connectivity needs. And with the introduction of CBRS, private LTE has become more accessible and affordable, allowing businesses of all sizes to take advantage of this groundbreaking technology like Cabana Happy Valley did in a case study by Baicells. As the future of wireless connectivity unfolds, it's essential for enterprise businesses to explore the possibilities that private LTE, powered by CBRS, can bring to their operations.
