About Campus Networks

Campus networks seamlessly combine public and private mobile connectivity to support diverse enterprise use cases. The private slice, which is completely isolated from the public network, is for the enterprise's exclusive use. Thanks to dedicated spectrum usage and quality of service mechanisms, the private network can provide more secure, reliable and predictable connectivity.

With data traffic kept locally, customers benefit from low network latency and a high degree of security. Companies can, for example, control and monitor real-time Internet of Things (IoT) applications in their operations, such as centrally controlled industrial robots and driverless transport systems.

Employees in the campus area benefit from enhanced coverage through the public mobile network, receiving significantly better voice and data services. External service providers and suppliers can also be connected over the public slice.

Best-in-class LTE and 5G technologies from Ericsson

Ericsson offers best-in-class LTE and 5G technologies for Private Networks including local core network and radio access network equipment for campus coverage as well as Cellular IoT solutions to meet different use case requirements. Ericsson launched another dedicated mobile network for industry 4.0 digital transformation at Hannover Messe 2019 - Ericsson Industry Connect.
