Network Architecture
As a private network operator, you’ll have the ability to act as a neutral host, which can have some surprising benefits for device connectivity.
Check out Episode 4 of Office Hours to get answers to questions like:
- What is a neutral host, and how does it work?
- How do neutral hosts cut down on infrastructure cost?
- Is running a neutral host secure?
- Can regular mobile phones connect to a neutral host?
Key Takeaways
- Neutral hosts allow public LTE subscribers to connect and strengthen their signal from a private network cell. This is similar to how certain cellular networks are available in other countries.
- Neutral hosts allow customers and staff to increase their network coverage in areas where commercial towers might be limited.
- A single cell in a private LTE environment can serve guest devices and internal communications without the need for complex configuration.
- The neutral host puts public devices on a separate band of the network, meaning enterprise devices are always segmented and secure.
