How Private LTE Can Effectively Strengthen Your Business

Does this sound familiar? It’s a busy Monday morning, and your employees are hard at work on their respective computers. For some reason, things seem to be moving slower than usual – in fact, your WiFi is creeping along at a prehistoric pace. Not even five minutes later, the network goes down. Now your business is at a complete standstill until things get back up and running. Frustrated, you ask your IT team what the issue seems to be — and you’re shocked to hear the words “potential security threat” come back in response. 

When it comes to utilizing a public wireless network for your business, you may be taking on a higher level of risk than you initially realized. Beyond the frustrations that come with slow connection times and network downtime, heightened security vulnerabilities pose a serious threat to your organization. Isn’t it time you stop letting these things take a toll on your business’s productivity, efficiency, and security? If you answered, “Yes,” then it’s time to consider investing in a private LTE network. 

What is a Private LTE Network?

A private LTE network is a non-public wireless network only accessible by authorized users within the organization. The organization decides where there will be coverage, how the network will perform, and who has access. This type of network enables the organization to address those communication challenges that only a dedicated, secure, and high-quality network can reliably support. 

Top Benefits of Investing in a Private LTE Network

There are quite a few benefits that come with utilizing a private LTE network, depending on your business’s unique needs and industry regulations.

- Privacy & Security -

This type of network keeps all data inside the corporate firewall, ensuring total privacy for its users. An administrator can control device access, which keeps private networks totally secure. All users have unique identifiers to track and authenticate their access. This is especially important for those highly regulated industries such as healthcare and finance, as well as the municipal sector.

Private cellular networks are especially important for municipalities, whose role includes overseeing public safety, ensuring traffic and environmental control, and promoting universal broadband connectivity in both remote, rural environments and dense urban landscapes.

Telrad Networks is partnering with municipalities and businesses to offer their CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) Private LTE wireless communication standard that operates in the 3.5GHz CBRS band. These deployed private networks provide unparalleled coverage, capacity, and security, promoting connectivity and real-time data operations. Learn more about Telrad’s CBRS network option.

- Reliability & High Performance - 

A private LTE network will continue to perform well, even under the strain of heavy traffic loads. It also comes with a level of customization, where you can, for increased resiliency, deploy additional cells to strengthen the connection.

Healthcare facilities require a reliable and stable internet connection in order to deliver the right care to their patients, which is why Baicells Technologies works closely with its residential care center partners to provide extensive network coverage that runs effectively at all times. In the end, Baicells’ products were instrumental in covering both the main facility and service apartments across 20,652 square meters with reliable, private LTE network connectivity.

How it works:

Site 1 delivers service to a small number of users within a concentrated area, while the CloudEPC enables rapid deployment for these users. At Site 2, the local EPC provides connectivity for critical infrastructure and its users while maintaining the network’s overall security and stability. In order to service a large number of users simultaneously, the care center opted to use a local core to allow for secure data transmissions. Read the full case study.

- Connectivity - 

A private LTE can offer uninterrupted connectivity in remote areas, outdoor workplaces, or a building that blocks WiFi signals. This type of network is designed to provide seamless connectivity and mobility without a loss of connection.
