Private Cellular Networks
The Challenge
The wireless industry is beginning a transformation as important and wide-reaching as the introduction of Wi-Fi was two decades ago. Using CBRS radio frequencies, individual organizations can create their own Private Cellular Networks (PCNs), taking advantage of the reliability, quality of service and security of 4G/LTE and 5G cellular networks.
The Private Wireless Alternative
Unlike Wi-Fi, which uses unlicensed spectrum, private cellular networks utilize licensed FCC spectrum to deliver a network with high availability, reliability, QoS and true mobility that delivers where Wi-Fi falls short. However, planning, deploying and operating private cellular networks is far more complex than Wi-Fi.
Specialized software tools and certified professionals are required to design and install the network for optimum operations. The radios connect to an Evolved Packet Core or 5G Core to control the network. Mobile network operations expertise is required to manage both the core and radio access networks to deliver peak application performance. So, while the advantages of private LTE and 5G are many, so are the number of deployment and operational challenges for those lacking expertise in mobile network management.
The CTS Solution
CTS designs a private cellular network customized to meet your application requirements. Private LTE is the ideal backbone for your IoT, automation and mission-critical voice services, all delivered and managed with CTS’s comprehensive, proven managed service.
CTS Services Offered
Depending on your financial situation, CTS provides flexible CBRS/PLTE/5G services through different finance models. Whether you want to own the network with CAPEX, or finance the network through OPEX, or simply subscribe to private LTE services, CTS is ready to help bring the CBRS/PLTE/5G network to your facilities as quickly as possible. CTS is currently offering four types of CBRS/PLTE/5G services:
