Are You Thinking about Deploying a CBRS-Based Private LTE/5G Network?

• Private long-term evolution (LTE) is a cellular-based technology that offers commercial and enterprise businesses, schools, hospitals, airports, municipalities, and cities a private network that extends internet access to its members. The term is generally associated with the particular type of 4G network that delivers a fast mobile Internet experience, commonly referred to as 4G LTE. Private LTE networks could be licensed or unlicensed, determined by the owner's requirements. They are designed to be more adaptable, permitting a greater flexibility for customization and integration with existing systems relative to public LTE networks. Offering a broad range of coverage and owner control, private LTE networks can provide increased security and privacy measures compared to public LTE networks. This is especially important for businesses managing sensitive data or operating in highly regulated environments. Private LTE networks can also be tailored to implement more effective and focused traffic management control. 

• 5G is the next stage in cellular network evolution. 5G is the 5th generation global mobile network designed with enhanced performance that can connect virtually everyone and everything together including machines, objects, and devices. The goal of 5G is to deliver faster speeds, lower latency, greater reliability, and enhanced connectivity. 5G, which was launched in 2019, continues to mature and expand broadband wireless services beyond mobile internet to IoT, connecting vehicles, Augmented Reality (AR,) Virtual Reality (VR,) enhanced video streaming, gaming and critical communications segments.   

• The CBRS band is a high-speed broadband spectrum that ranges from 3550 to 3700 MHz. It consists of 150 MHz of spectrum in the 3.5 GHz band. The release of the 3.5 GHz CBRS band for public use in the U.S, is the first system in history that offers the capability for enterprise networks and service providers to share the same frequency spectrum for a cellular network. The availability of the 3.5 GHz CBRS band means that schools, commercial and enterprise businesses can build a private LTE or 5G network with carrier-class speed, security, range, and capacity which was once exclusive to the United States Military and fixed satellite stations. Commercial network deployments began largely in 2020 and opened new possibilities throughout the industry landscape. Although CBRS spectrum is not technology specific, it is a perfect fit for private LTE and 5G because it requires little modification to existing equipment, and IoT devices and mobile devices are already available.
