The Promise of 5G/LTE Private Cellular Networks
In this white paper, Fibocom explains how private cellular networks power advanced use cases and applications.
Private networks are fully dedicated to a particular enterprise or organization, offering unparalleled performance, mobility, reliability, and security, while also allowing operators to reconfigure as necessary to meet operational needs. Driving this trend towards private LTE and 5G networks is the increased availability of appropriate spectrum bands for private use and a plethora of end-user equipment that is supported by advances in chipset and wireless communication module technology.
The Private Cellular Network (PCN) Revolution
The growing business interest in private cellular networks is also the result of several key advantages these networks have over traditional models. PCN can be deployed almost anywhere, without needing to rely on existing networking infrastructure. Private cellular networks also offer operators unprecedented
control of their network and drastically-improved capacity and bandwidth.
Advancing Private 5G Cellular Network Deployments
Frontrunners in the adoption of Private LTE and Private 5G include industries such as oil, gas, and mining, which rely on critical communications to coordinate their operations in real time. Areas requiring high levels of security and data throughput, such as airports and docks, are also early adopters, along with smart manufacturing and smart logistics facilities.
Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS)
In the U.S., the recent availability of bandwidth in the spectrum from 3.55 GHz to 3.7 GHz, referred to as CBRS Band 48, has been a major step in opening up previously restricted spectrum to commercial and public use.
With the CBRS band module FM101-CG, Fibocom is at the forefront of CBRS-based wireless network applications. As a member of the OnGo Alliance, an organization dedicated to promoting CBRS adoption, Fibocom is also advancing the use of the CBRS portion of the spectrum as an international standard.
