Private networks are the future of digital enterprise management. Hundreds of new private networks are being deployed worldwide every year. Enterprises looking to digitize their operations can leverage the benefits afforded by private networks. Data collection, automation, operational efficiency, increased security, network control, improved coverage, and increased capacity are all hallmark benefits of private networks.
Enterprises can augment an existing network, such as Wi-Fi, or deploy new network technology driven by specific use cases or connectivity challenges. By leveraging mobile network expertise, enterprise networks can meet use case requirements and operational objectives.
Enterprise network deployments can include upfront consultation, use case development, network planning, design, deployment, and ongoing managed services and maintenance. These considerations can dramatically simplify and maximize time and investment costs.
Private network deployments present unique complexities that often necessitate industry-specific expertise to meet the diverse requirements. Industry sectors, including manufacturing, healthcare, retail, warehouse logistics, and oil and gas, each have different needs and industry-specific requirements.
Enterprises with a comprehensive private network plan can simplify their infrastructure investment and optimize the amount of equipment required, both in the short- and long-term. This will ensure efficient and effective network operations. Enterprises should also consider equipment longevity and minimizing existing infrastructure impacts while optimizing performance and meeting requirements.
Mobile private networks also offer enterprises the ability to scale a secure network that meets their specifications.
Steps for a successful private network design and deployment
1.??????Define the specific use cases and requirements for your network
Private network design will revolve around the unique requirements of your enterprise, so it is critical to understand the needs to be addressed. This includes the type of data transmitted, required coverage and capacity, expected performance, security levels, and future proofing.
2.??????Existing infrastructure and integration
Building a private network will often require integration with existing enterprise infrastructures. A new network can initially impact additional enterprise IT and wireless infrastructure management demands. Enterprises should evaluate the scope of these legacy infrastructures to determine how to integrate into a new network. These legacy infrastructures may include other networking technologies, IT systems, cloud services, and business processes.
3.??????Network planning, design and operational management
Network planning goes beyond just understanding your existing infrastructure and enterprise needs. The planning and design process includes selecting the right technology, architecture and spectrum allocation to meet your existing demands. From there, addressing the processes and procedures for ongoing management, monitoring, maintenance, and troubleshooting is critical.
