Mobile Private Networks (MPNs) are 5G solutions for business-critical applications
How can mobile devices be connected as reliably and securely as possible in critical environments? A Mobile Private Network (MPN) is the high-tech solution for all industries where «business-critical» and «mission-critical» applications are used. Traditional areas of use are factory sites, but also indoor spaces or campus locations. MPNs are private, self-contained local mobile networks that operate independently of public networks and cover specific locations.
MPNs thus offer the highest level of security en route to Industry 4.0, eHealth and smart cities.
The evolution of various MPN architecture models
NEW: MPN slicing for private 5G resources in the public network
Reserve private 5G network resources for your business-critical applications. With MPN slicing, you get guaranteed, reliable and secure 5G connections. Your private 5G slice is configured perfectly to meet the specific application’s requirements – bandwidth, latency, capacity, location and duration can be defined flexibly. Ideal for autonomous transport, smart hospitals or large events.
How are Dedicated Mobile Private Campus Networks created and managed?
The Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) is hosted or available on-premises. Installation and service management can be carried out by Sunrise.
An edge gateway with a 5G network is installed on your premises to allow for large amounts of data to be processed with minimal latency. The data are processed directly at the source (edge computing) and thus remain in your hands. Various redundancy options are available.
The desired network components are installed for your 5G private network. The coverage radius varies from 20 m indoors to >30 km outdoors.
All devices that are to be connected to the private network must be equipped with a DAC (Digital Automation Cloud) manager. Configuration and installation can be done by Sunrise or the network owner.
Managed services from Sunrise include customized consulting, implementation, training, maintenance and support based on individually defined operational requirements.
Application examples for Mobile Private Networks
