Private Cellular Network

An enterprise-owned LTE or 5G network using dedicated or shared spectrum, its own core, and enterprise SIMs.

Definition

Private LTE/5G provides predictable coverage, mobility, and SIM-based security for large outdoor areas, factories, ports, and warehouses. It often uses CBRS in the US or local licensed spectrum elsewhere. It complements rather than replaces Wi-Fi, which remains cheaper indoors.

Example

A port authority deploys private 5G to connect cranes and autonomous vehicles.

Exam tip

Private cellular excels at wide-area mobility; Wi-Fi remains preferred for dense indoor laptops.
