Overview:
The NetCloud Private Network 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. All indoor and outdoor CAPs work together to create contiguous private network connectivity across the entire customer landscape.
Network controlled, prescriptive device mobility
3-5x more Wi-Fi APs required to cover the same area
SIM-based authentication eliminates the risk posed by traditional credential-based attacks
Built-in automated acquisition of dedicated CBRS spectrum
Notable Benefits
- Plug and play CAPs with automated provisioning and quick boot up.
- Sleek form factor with built-in antennas and aesthetics similar to a Wi-Fi AP.
- Utilizes dedicated spectrum and advanced interference management, significantly reducing the risk of connection drops and ensuring superior connectivity.
- Flexible power options with PoE+ or DC input.
- Time Division Duplex (TDD) modes 1 and 2 enable customizable uplink and downlink throughputs.
Ideal Wireless LAN Solution
When Wi-Fi doesn’t provide adequate coverage, reliability, or client mobility, a Private Cellular Network (PCN) is an ideal solution. Outside of smaller commercial locations, Wi-Fi’s “best effort” connectivity is not good enough at best, and often results in costly losses for larger footprint businesses due to connection dead zones, sticky clients, and limited coverage capabilities – especially outdoors. The NetCloud Private Networks A2400 Cellular Access Point inherently solves these issues by elegantly balancing deployment and management simplicity with powerful insights and control.
Reliability You Can Count On
NetCloud Private Networks excels in network determinism, client mobility, and overall reliability, markedly outperforming Wi-Fi. PCNs ensure predictable network behavior with guaranteed bandwidth, essential for critical applications. Unlike Wi-Fi, where client devices determine handoffs, potentially leading to connectivity gaps, NCPN manages client mobility seamlessly across multiple CAPs, ensuring devices maintain stable connections. This systemwide approach to managing connections enhances the reliability of the LAN, reducing downtime and maintaining consistent network performance.
NetCloud Private Networks elegantly balances deployment and management simplicity, with powerful insights and control
NetCloud Private Networks is an end-to-end cloud-native private cellular network solution designed for the needs of today’s dynamic enterprise IT ecosystems. NCPN is packaged to make it easy to prioritize security and quality of service while also enabling plug-and-play deployments that scale with an API-first design philosophy. NetCloud Private Networks is built from the ground up using zero-trust principles and is based on a granular and dynamic policy framework that is core to the architecture. This provides an added layer of security over and above SIM-based authentication.
