PRIVATE WIRELESS NETWORKING SOLUTIONS
Wider Coverage + More Security + Better Mobility
What is Private Wireless?
 Private Wireless is a next-generation wireless data network utilizing cellular technology that you own and operate at your facility. It can be a cost-effective alternative to WIFI because it provides all the advanced technology benefits of a carrier-operated wireless network, including highly secure connectivity for large numbers of fixed and mobile endpoints throughout a large campus or industrial complex, but it’s managed and controlled by the end-user, not the wireless carrier. Multiple campus Private Wireless networks can be interconnected to create a complete enterprise connectivity solution.
How is This Possible?
Recent changes in the allocation of the public wireless spectrum have made it possible for organizations like yours to install a Private Wireless network, controlled by you, and free of any recurring data charges paid to a carrier. Manufacturers supplying the technology running the nation’s carrier cellular networks have responded to these developments by releasing fully functional, scaled-down versions of their 4.9G/5G technology for private industry to use. Industrial Networking Solutions (INS) has partnered with Nokia to bring Private Wireless to the industrial industry.
When Should You Choose a Private Wireless Network over WiFi?
Broader Coverage
If you need seamless wireless coverage over a large campus or facility, whether that be outdoor, indoor or some mix thereof, Private Wireless has far greater range and better signal penetration into buildings and in areas with significant outdoor metal infrastructure than WIFI.
Numerous Endpoints
Private Wireless can connect many devices and mobile workers to a wireless LAN with far fewer antennas than WIFI. Private 4.9G/LTE and 5G technology is designed to provide hundreds of concurrent endpoints with high bandwidth, low latency connectivity per “micro tower” antenna while WIFI can only reliably handle a few dozen clients per access point, with higher latency and lower bandwidth.
Mobile Endpoints
If you have mobile assets and people “on the move”, Private Wireless will outperform WIFI significantly. Private Wireless was designed to seamlessly process the hand-over of multiple fast-moving clients, between “micro tower” antennas without data loss.
Security
Are you concerned about hacking or eavesdropping on a WIFI network? With Private Wireless, you provision and distribute private SIM cards for end devices connecting to your network. No SIM card? No connection.
What is Included in a Private Wireless System?
Nokia’s Private Wireless Network infrastructure includes a dedicated 4.9G/LTE or 5G core server installed at the customer facility (Nokia Digital Automation Cloud) with associated micro-towers to provide the wireless coverage of the site. End devices are supplied with private SIM cards to allow access to the Private Wireless network. For customer devices and area networks with an Ethernet or serial port, SIM-enabled 4.9G/LTE and 5G gateways can be used to provide the Private Wireless network connection. A cloud-based management system allows the customer to monitor and manage their Private Wireless system from anywhere and create links between distinct enterprise Private Wireless networks.
