Experteers provides one-stop show for local municipalities, utility companies, manufacturers, local operators, and any clients who need to have their own LTE Mobile Network to secure their traffic in complete isolation of public networks or in secured connections to public networks.
In order for the power of AI, machine learning and automation to be leveraged by industry, mines, utilities and smart cities, they will need highly reliable and secure wireless connectivity. Private wireless provides a single network for all business-critical OT applications. It supports low-latency machine-to-machine communications, low-power IoT sensors, mission-critical voice and video radio communications and legacy serial communications for SCADA and other control systems.
The adoption of private 5G networks is gaining traction around the world as regulators allocate more spectrum to enterprises so Experteers can design, build, and maintain their own private 5G networks — these are networks that don’t share traffic with other cellular networks in the vicinity. This is a game-changer for enterprises, specifically for manufacturers who require 5G capabilities to implement the transformative applications that drive smart factories, digital transformation and the internet of things (IoT).
The promises of 5G are impressive and include vast bandwidth, high data rates (1-20 Gbit/s), ultra-low latency (1 ms), high security, reliability and scalability to accommodate the enormous volumes of IoT-connected sensors and devices. Yet, the global rollouts of public 5G are still in nascent stages and years away from mainstream adoption. On the other hand, private licensed 5G networks are here today, and they’re helping manufacturers realize the vision of the factory of the future.
Experteers has long experience to provide wireless networking design, supply, build, and support all the technique leveraged by homes, enterprises and telecom companies to avert costs and complexities associated with introduction of cables to a building, or as a medium of connectivity between several device locations. Experteers helps design (Heat map Surveys), deploying secure wireless network for data and voice traffic that seamlessly integrates with core network enabling secure mobility to users.
Experteers has a unique Network Management System (NMS) that performs the necessary activities for managing computer networks. Working with its partners, Experteers creates a platform for monitoring network performance and centrally managing network configurations.
Experteers cloud-based platform can auto-discover all network elements and add them to the appropriate environment for 24/7/365 monitoring. With automatic technical support, your network can stay up and running without waiting for it to go down due to any reason. We also help to scale all bottlenecks and avoid them on short and long-term plans.
Private LTE Structure
The Building Blocks of Private LTE Networks
Individual private LTE networks are designed based on specific use cases, but they share these common elements:
LTE Small cells (eNodeB)
Devices within a private LTE network depend on localized base stations or small cells to ensure connectivity. LTE connectivity utilizes evolved NodeBs, a step up from the previous NodeBs used in 3G. eNodeBs are base stations designed to manage connectivity for all devices in the sector. Compared with Wi-Fi, private LTE networks require far fewer base stations to ensure coverage for the same physical area.
Evolved Packet Core (EPC)
The EPC is the core network of an LTE system. In a private LTE network, it can be in servers on-premises or hosted as a SaaS offering. 3GPP designed the EPC to support “flat architecture,” which sidesteps the previous need for protocol conversion and increases data handling efficiency. Flat architecture makes private LTE extremely adaptable to onsite networking needs in a variety of verticals. Gateways manage data traffic and connect the private LTE network to the cloud. Local traffic stays onsite, but through a packet data network (PGW) gateway, the private network maintains a link to the outside world. The PGW provides data oversight such as packet filtering and serves as a connection point between 3GPP and non-3GPP technology.

As the first top-tier IoT and mobile broadband module vendor to supply and support new innovations and the adoption of private LTE networks, Experteers provides enterprises with new options for site, campus, and office wireless networking.
Private LTE Architecture Variations across Verticals
Private LTE networks can be built on either licensed or unlicensed frequencies. There is much flexibility in network size, the number of connected devices and coverage area. Let’s take a closer look at what private LTE network architecture could look like in a few industry verticals:
- Mining
- Factories and Warehouses
- Retail and Large Venues
- Airports and Seaports
Often located in remote areas, mining sites pose a connectivity problem because they may be out of reach of public networks. However, mining stands to benefit significantly from modern efficiencies, such as automation. Private LTE networks can provide the dependable connectivity needed to run automated equipment and sensors designed to enable predictive maintenance. Mining sites can achieve complete coverage with far fewer base stations than Wi-Fi requires and can add voice over LTE (VoLTE) and push-to-talk applications to support local voice communications onsite. With private LTE, mining operators can also prioritize critical traffic over the network, support all their systems in a single wireless network and position LTE base stations deep inside mines or outside of blast areas for added safety.
As factories move towards IIoT and Industry 4.0, connectivity is key to their success. Private LTE can support a high density of devices and sensors required to achieve a connected factory or warehouse. The LTE data speed is enough to enable video surveillance, sometimes equipped with AI or machine vision. Because the network is on the premises, it also provides a higher level of security, keeping all data within the factory network and eliminating outside vectors of attack. Operators can choose the spectrum model that’s best for the application, ensuring that there will be no network interference. A single LTE base station may be enough to connect more than a thousand devices on a factory floor. The solution can be easily scaled when more access points are needed. If an enterprise has multiple sites, the local LTE network can be integrated with a wide-area LTE network.
Large venues and retail stores need reliable connectivity for their staff and customers. Many are also running more connected equipment, including shelf sensors, point of sale (POS) systems, people counting and more. Having an EPC onsite minimizes latency and ensures that data remains secure.
As they are typically a combination of indoor and outdoor environments, airports and seaports benefit from private LTE’s flexible coverage options. The LTE signal’s permeability, particularly in lower and mid bands, helps ensure that devices stay connected even when they’re deep inside parked aircraft or docked ships. Private LTE also supports smooth, secure roaming between and within public and private networks, ensuring that devices on the move — like those in airport trams or refueling trucks — remain connected.
More Efficient Use of Bandwidth
The number of wireless devices (enterprise and consumer) is increasing exponentially, and so is the correlating amount of data transmitted and received by these devices. The bottleneck is that there is a finite number of available wireless frequencies on the radio spectrum, and those frequencies are being consumed rapidly. Wi-Fi has become extremely congested and limited due to the high “noise” of Wi-Fi, especially in urban areas. CBRS helps alleviate this bottleneck by allocating a new band of frequencies. It’s like adding lanes to a highway and eliminating any traffic jams. While Wi-Fi 6E is also adding a lot of new spectrum, LTE offers a more efficient use of spectrum.
The 3.5 GHz Band is Available to Anyone
CBRS is commercially available to pretty much everyone. The typical carriers don’t own this spectrum. The top technology companies, including Cradle point, Cisco, Ericsson, Google, Intel, Facebook, Nokia, CommScope/Ruckus, and many others, are moving fast to develop and certify devices and networks for the new open spectrum. Enterprises are now able to deploy their own indoor and/or outdoor private LTE networks. There’s some light regulation to make sure that no one entity gobbles up the air that’s available.
Greater network security
Wi-Fi is often considered a non-secure or easily hackable platform. PLTE/CBRS networks, on the other hand, provide restricted access based on SIM cards and configurable network topologies, allowing IT to leverage best practices in cybersecurity design. Enterprises can feel comfortable knowing that the same security that carriers have enjoyed for years is now available to them.
Better Cellular Signal Indoors and Outdoors
A private LTE network utilizing the CBRS band can effectively replace or supplement traditional Wi-Fi. It can also address cellular coverage gaps in large campus environments or sprawling facilities such as commercial office parks, sports venues, airports, manufacturing plants, hotels, and hospitals. In industrial IoT applications, you can feel good about your investment as it requires only one-third the number of equivalent access points.
Private LTE may sound like a lot of new terms and complex technologies, but it does not have to be. Experteers can be your guide to help provide the “easy” button for deployment and keep it as simple as running your traditional network today. Let us help you navigate the terms, correlation to what you know and keep bringing the carrier to the enterprise.
