Private LTE+
Utilities
Modern utility providers face challenges on multiple fronts. There is an ever-increasing need for greater fexibility and device connectivity within their networks, but none of that can come at the expense of security. Price-conscious consumers are demanding more options and rock-solid service, yet the smart infrastructure that enables those advantages can be expensive to deploy and support. Telrad pLTE+ alleviates these challenges with a cost-effective hybrid network environment that can be simultaneously optimized for IoT, cellular and fixed wireless broadband communications while providing united coverage for every device in the fleet. That means everything from the station to the field—all the way down to the microgrid—can be integrated under one solution for maximum control, scalability, performance and resiliency. Furthermore, pLTE+ supports and augments advanced industry security practices like network slicing, which involves the segmentation of services according to physical (e.g., frequency bands) or virtual criteria. Even when devices move off-network, such as in roaming scenarios, Telrad's pLTE+ can ensure that data communication between the device and the internal network remains secure
Benefits of Private LTE+
Private LTE (pLTE) puts carrier-class communications technology into the hands of public and private enterprises, schools, colleges, universities, hospitals and other players outside the telecom industry. Through pLTE, these organizations are able to deploy and operate a highly customized cellular network that better serves specialized needs such as distance learning, IoT enablement and secure communications. For all its benefits, however, traditional private LTE can be a self-contained "walled garden" that limits flexibility and productivity. pLTE+ removes these limitations to give organizations the best of both worlds. By leveraging pLTE+, organizations can retain granular control of roaming and cybersecurity policies even as their users enjoy the freedom of off-network connectivity on national carrier platforms. This opens up new opportunities for collaboration and remote work, enhances security and allows organizations of all sizes to tap into a wider ecosystem of devices. Telrad has several cost-effective solutions and carrier partnerships in place that are making pLTE+ a feasible option for a growing number of organizations across multiple industries and verticals
