Ericsson Private 5G Compact includes plug-and-play cellular access points (CAPs) that support the 4G LTE CBRS spectrum band 48. Sometimes referred to as small cells, these CAPs form the private radio access network (RAN) that cellular endpoints and clients connect to and are authenticated through the Ericsson Private 5G Compact Mobility Gateway. All indoor and outdoor CAPs work together to create contiguous private network connectivity across the entire customer landscape.
Ideal Wireless LAN Solution
When Wi-Fi doesn’t provide adequate coverage, reliability, or client mobility, a private cellular network (PCN) is an ideal solution. Outside of smaller commercial locations, Wi-Fi’s “best effort” connectivity is not good enough at best, and often results in costly losses for larger footprint businesses due to connection dead zones, sticky clients, and limited coverage capabilities – especially outdoors. The Ericsson Private 5G Compact A2400 inherently solves these issues by elegantly balancing deployment and management simplicity with powerful insights and control.
Reliability You Can Count On
Ericsson Private 5G Compact excels in network determinism, client mobility, and overall reliability, markedly outperforming Wi-Fi. PCNs ensure predictable network behavior with guaranteed bandwidth, essential for critical applications. Unlike Wi-Fi, where client devices determine handoffs, potentially leading to connectivity gaps, Ericsson Private 5G Compact manages client mobility seamlessly across multiple CAPs, ensuring devices maintain stable connections. This systemwide approach to managing connections enhances the reliability of the LAN, reducing downtime and maintaining consistent network performance.
