Ericsson Private 5G Compact is an end-to-end private cellular network solution designed for the needs of today's dynamic enterprise IT ecosystems. Initially based on the 4G LTE Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) spectrum in the USA, Ericsson Private 5G Compact is a cloud-native solution packaged to make it easy for enterprises to prioritize security and Quality of Service (QoS) while also enabling plug-and-play deployments that scale with an APl-first design philosophy.
Built around a converged 4G cellular core, Ericsson Private 5G Compact has the flexibility to be deployed on the enterprise premises or public cloud, thus enabling enterprises to maintain their data locally while still benefitting from the power of cloud-based configuration and policy management. With this inherent flexibility, the Ericsson Private 5G Compact Mobility Gateway enables secure access to enterprise data services from authenticated cellular endpoints.
The Ericsson Private 5G Compact solution includes plug-and-play Cellular Access Points (CAPs) that support the 4G LTE CBRS spectrum band 48. Sometimes referred to as small cells, these CAPs form the private Radio Access Network (RAN) that cellular endpoints and clients connect to and are authenticated through the Mobility Gateway. CAPs rated for indoor locations (A2400) and outdoor environments (A2405) or (A2415) work together to create contiguous private network connectivity across the entire enterprise location.
