Benefits of Private Cellular LTE/5G for Diverse Facilities

Connect Expansive Indoor/Outdoor
Spaces
Private cellular offers greater reliability and broader reach than WiFi, better-suited for expansive areas where WiFi signals encounter obstacles in connecting
Support Mobility
Use Cases
Increased mobility for your devices and vehicles — leading to higher, uninterrupted productivity for use cases on the move
Overcome Reflective Environments
Connect around reflective materials that diminish WiFi signals — including metal, tinted glass, concrete, and brick — as private cellular signals maintain strength and provide reliable, broad coverage even in such environments
Harness
Customized Coverage
Target private cellular signals where they’re needed most for broad, customized coverage across your facilities
Application-Level
Control
Improve output by prioritizing critical data traffic and harnessing maximum performance for your most essential applications
Maximize
Combined
Technologies
Leverage a suite of technology for holistic connectivity, including private cellular, cost-effective in-building neutral host public cellular, and wireless network extension
The Power of Private Cellular and Neutral Host Public Cellular Combined
Shared CRBS-based Infrastructure enables private cellular use cases and enhances in-building public cellular coverage in a single cost-effective solution.

Private Cellular & WiFi Work in Tandem for Holistic Connectivity — Each Optimal for Specific Uses

Successful facilities may benefit from having both WiFi and private cellular networks — creating a dynamic, holistic connectivity solution. WiFi and private cellular have distinct differences in capabilities and are suited for different use cases; end-to-end providers like Cox Private Networks pair the right technology to the right use case to optimize operations in your facility.

Private Network


Attributes

WiFi

Built to seamlessly handoff connectivity between devices moving through a facility

Mobility

Devices often experience signal interruption due to becoming "stuck" to one access point

Can provide connectivity to stationary devices, but is more suited for mobile use cases

Stationary
Use

Seamlessly transmits consistent connectivity to stationary devices

Typically exceeds WiFi — with 4x more output power that a typical indoor WiFi access point

Output
Power

Typically have a lower output power compared to cellular networks

Range is more reliable than WiFi in large, sprawling spaces with high ceilings, outdoor spaces, and campuses

Range

More limited range based on immediate proximity to network access points

Can deliver connectivity to hundreds of devices over a large expanse of space

Capacity

Can deliver seamless connectivity to smaller number of devices in a given area

Typically enable security best practices as part of their inherent structure, with additional owner control over who can access the network

Security

Enterprise-grade WiFi leverages essential security measures to protect uses, but requires an operator to enable SIM-based authentication

For maximum cost-efficiency, facilities need to balance their use of WiFi and private cellular connections

Cost

For maximum cost-efficiency, facilities need to balance their use of WiFi and private cellular connections

Private Cellular Case Studies

Providing Uninterrupted Connectivity for Manufacturing Yard Management
One major beverage manufacturer attempted to enhance connectivity at their outdoor loading yard via increased WiFi coverage. Unfortunately, transitions between indoor/outdoor spaces and reflective environments caused unstable and unreliable WiFi — leading to substantial delays in the loading process and manual intervention for autonomous forklifts. Cox Private Networks enabled private cellular in both the manufacturer’s outdoor loading area and warehouse, enabling pervasive, secure connectivity across their facility.

Implementing Coverage for Devices On-the-Go Across a Car Auction Site
Due to irregular lot sizes, tree-lined terrain, and signal reflection, employees at a large, outdoor car auction site were struggling with device connectivity as they moved throughout the lot — impacting their ability to access operational software amidst a growing fleet of connected devices and cars. Cox Private Networks (CPN) introduced private cellular to the lot, helping ensure seamless connectivity for employees as they moved. Managed by CPN, the service enhanced existing network functionalities to sustain continued improved network function and efficiency.
