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.

## Coverage Measured in Miles

Cellular access points offer significant coverage advantages over Wi-Fi outdoors and public cellular services indoors. These CAPs extend far beyond the limited range of Wi-Fi, providing reliable connectivity for extensive outdoor industrial, agricultural, and operational areas. Indoors, they surpass public cellular services in coverage and capacity, tailored to the specific requirements of the facility. Unlike public cellular, which can suffer from signal degradation and congestion, Ericsson Private 5G Compact CAPs ensure robust signal penetration and dedicated bandwidth, facilitating advanced applications such as automation, secure communications, and real-time data analytics in environments like warehouse yards and industrial manufacturing facilities.

## 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 system-wide approach to managing connections enhances the reliability of the LAN, reducing downtime and maintaining consistent network performance.

## Notable Features

- Plug and play CAPs with automated provisioning and quick boot up.
- Fit for function coverage options with internal or external antenna options.
- Flexible backhaul options with ethernet or fiber.
- Utilizes dedicated spectrum and advanced interference management, significantly reducing the risk of connection drops and ensuring superior connectivity.
- Carrier Aggregation, Dual Carrier, and Time Division Duplex (TDD) modes 1, 2, and 6 enable customizable uplink and downlink throughputs.
