Private LTE is a secure, standalone wireless network built using cellular technology (like 4G/LTE or 5G), but it's owned and managed privately, not by a public carrier (like Verizon or AT&T). Public cellular networks often can't handle the demand at live events, especially in areas with high density or in rural areas with limited coverage. 

Private LTE solves this by giving event organizers their own dedicated wireless infrastructure. A Private LTE system runs on its own equipment, so coverage, performance, and security are in your control and independent of the public network.

BearCom can help you deploy a Private LTE network to support:

• Production crews (radios, tablets, scheduling apps)
• Point-of-sale (POS) systems (food, merch vendors)
• Security staff (bodycams, video surveillance)
• Event operations (ticket scanning, staff coordination)
• Public Wi-Fi 

Your Private LTE network gives you dedicated, high-performance, local wireless coverage — no dependence on congested public cellular networks.

At a festival or other live event, Private LTE keeps your event communications, security, and services running smoothly, but if any devices or applications need to talk to the outside world, the Private LTE network must connect to the public internet. 

That's where you would need a drop (or uplink) from an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to provide that internet access. This ISP connection is your event’s gateway to the cloud — but with the Private LTE Network, you retain full control to keep it secure and prioritized.

Private LTE networks can provide numerous benefits across a wide range of industries. Whether you're looking for short term rentals or a long term solution, businesses in different sectors can leverage this next-generation solution to enhance connectivity and performance.

Healthcare

Hospitals and healthcare facilities can use Private LTE to connect dozens—or even hundreds—of devices simultaneously, such as monitoring systems, tablets, and patient records systems. Crucially, these networks are secure and HIPAA-compliant, safeguarding sensitive data while delivering uninterrupted service.

Hospitality

Hotels and casinos manage large properties with areas often prone to dead spots. Private LTE ensures seamless connectivity for guests, enabling them to contact services or access amenities easily via in-room tablets or mobile apps, no matter where they are on the property.

Manufacturing

Smart factories require uninterrupted connections for their production lines and IoT systems. With Private LTE, manufacturers remain in control of their wireless networks, gaining the ability to monitor operations in real time. Detect issues like leaks or equipment malfunctions early to avoid expensive shutdowns and maintain optimal efficiency.
