Private Mobile Network Nodes
Private Mobile Network (PMN) is a dedicated wireless network that is owned by your business entity. It uses the same technology as public mobile carriers, such as LTE/5G, but fully owned by your company only.
01. Radio access point
Base station called eNodeB.
02. Network management backend
ePC or evolved Packet Core.
04. SIM Provisioning
Remote SIM Provisioning to simplify end device onboarding.
03. End device
A terminal identified by SIM card (plastic or eSIM).
05. Debug & support toolkit
Log management, integration with CI/CD, spectrometer.
Why PMN Stands Out Over Wi-Fi?
Less noise
Wi-Fi spectrum tends to be "noisy" due to the popularity of Wi-Fi devices on the market. PMN uses CBRS-band - part of the spectrum which has much less noise and doesn't depend on someone turning their new Wi-Fi router on.
Quality of connection
Mobile networks are built to provide a guaranteed quality of connection to its client in different conditions. Such things as handovers for moving devices, less impact from the interferences, and guaranteed latency, bandwidth, and jitter are critical for customers demanding reliable connectivity.
Security
Today, everyone with a high-gain antenna and a bunch of available software tools can break into almost any WiFi network. WiFi vendors usually suggest buying a bunch of additional security solutions which will help to secure their networks. PMN has embedded government-grade security into its standards, which are the same as for public cellular providers. Your network is already protected.
Scalability
Mobile network technology was built to scale: stadiums, parks, arenas, and busy downtowns all enjoying reliable connectivity. Achieving something like that with Wi-Fi is either very costly or not simply not possible.
