The Telnyx blog looked into why Private LTE architecture is better than other types, saying that public WiFi and 5G networks could hinder growth. Cited as reasons are some of the biggest drawbacks of those public networks: congestion and downtime. Something no one wants to get involved with when they’re working on the web or browsing the internet. Private LTE is a good alternative to minimize downtime and is able to be flexible to the needs of whoever is using it.
Emily Bowen, a writer for Telnyx, defined the key features of Private LTE as, “Private LTE operates on a dedicated spectrum, ensuring consistent performance unaffected by external traffic. This dedicated infrastructure provides a controlled environment, enhancing security and reducing the risk of external breaches. It’s also tailored to meet an organization’s specific needs. Furthermore, private LTE networks have built-in redundancy, ensuring the network remains operational despite component failures.”
One of its most important features is the dedicated spectrum, which allows it to be more consistent than Wi-Fi or public 5G networks are. Another key component is the actual architecture, according to Telnyx.
One feature is the core network – managing user connections, mobility and services. The network is where most of the ‘core’ tasks are done – like routing data, integrating voice, data, and video, and helps maintain connections between devices and the network. Data packets are what is usually transferred from devices to the network – and in Wi-Fi would then be passed from one tower to the next. With private LTE, the core network is already in-system and is able to handle such transfers easily.
The Radio Access Network (RAN) helps bridge equipment and the network. It uses radio signals to help connect devices to the network. Together, they ensure that data is processed quickly and securely, so everyone on the network is able to access high-speed and high-quality transmission.
Private LTE’s architecture has given it advantages that have been overlooked in some of the traditional avenues of media as it starts its launch beyond trial phases. The improvements in infrastructure of Private LTE networks will be a benefit for its ability to break out from where it is today to where it will go in the future.
