What Is Public LTE?

Before we can get into the benefits of Private LTE, we need to explain Public LTE. Put simply, Public LTE provides a high-capacity internet connection for high-capacity enterprises. For many businesses, this is a relatively inexpensive and high-quality solution.

Public LTE is run by the cellular provider, which means they control the decisions regarding service. For instance,

  • The provider schedules all upgrades and maintenance to the system.
  • The provider prioritizes all businesses and public users of the network equally. If the network is overloaded, everyone sees reduced performance.
  • The provider chooses which areas to provide service to based on cost effectiveness and profitability.

With all that in mind, Public LTE is an excellent solution in many use cases. If you feel the above factors will affect you, however, there’s another solution that may be optimal for your enterprise.  

What Is Private LTE?

Private LTE is privately owned and designed to serve a specific enterprise or business. This means that when you install a Private LTE system, you own and operate the system without outsourcing to a third-party provider.

It provides a high-capacity internet connection for your high-capacity enterprise, all while maintaining the paramount level of security that is critical for your operational success. A Private LTE system runs on its own equipment, so coverage, performance, and security are in your control and independent of the public network.

Own Your Own Network with Private LTE

These days, your business’s devices are more and more reliant on broadband connection. Your PCs, tablets, and surveillance cameras—and your robotics and sensors, too—require high-capacity internet. In many cases, Wi-Fi simply isn’t enough to cover them all on the same network.

Why not have your own private network that is reliable, fast, secure, and provides the bandwidth you need now or will need in the near future? Private LTE is designed for high-capacity commercial and industrial use, so it’s ready to scale and meet your business needs whenever you are ready. Plus, it’s wireless and easy to get up and running. Best of all, it keeps you in control.

Private LTE Is Ideal for Many Businesses

Still not sure how Private LTE can benefit your business? The following industry-specific examples may shine a light on how this solution could benefit your unique business needs.

Hospitals

Hospitals and other healthcare providers can rely on secure networks with HIPAA-compliance to connect dozens or even hundreds of devices to the same network—a feat that may not be possible with Wi-Fi.

Hotels & Casinos

Hotels and casinos can provide a reliable connection to their customers, who can contact guest services seamlessly from tablets in their rooms or apps on their phones, even in areas prone to dead spots or across large properties.

Manufacturing Operations

Manufacturers can keep “smart” production lines running without interruption when wireless connections are in their control, as well as be notified of leaks or damaged machinery before a large-scale production shutdown occurs. The result? More efficiency and a more profitable output.
