Private 5G networks are localised mobile deployments offering dedicated connectivity and tailored services for organisations and industrial applications. Designed to enhance network reliability, security, and performance, these networks are widely used in manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and utilities. Unlike traditional 5G, small cells in private networks increase data capacity while reducing rollout costs by avoiding expensive rooftop installations. Their flexibility ensures coexistence with standards like LTE and Wi-Fi and supports spectrum sharing.
Operating in licensed, unlicensed, or shared spectrum bands, private 5G networks deliver customised coverage with robust and dependable connections. They outperform traditional Wi-Fi networks in performance, cost, and scalability while accessing lower-cost spectrum bands for diverse applications.
Private 5G also supports network slicing, enabling operators to create multiple virtual networks within the same physical infrastructure. Each slice can be customised for specific applications, ensuring optimal performance. With increased security and control, private 5G provides direct and reliable access to devices, meeting the needs of modern industrial and organisational environments.
Operating in high-frequency bands, 5G requires accurate cartographic data to account for terrain, clutter heights, and buildings that impact service quality, latency, and capacity. ATDI provides customers with access to a comprehensive library of high-resolution map data, accessible with a valid maintenance contract. These maps enable precise signal loss modelling, factoring in geo-spatial environments, and help identify buildings and clutter that affect mmWave propagation.
