Enterprise LTE vs. public networks and why it matters
Nov 26. 2019On this episode of Recalibrate, Samsung Networks' Derek Johnston and Samsung B2B Mobile Marketing's Reid Estreicher dive into network advancements with the arrival of 5G connectivity and other innovations in the telecommunications industry. In order to better understand these trends, it's important to differentiate between a enterprise LTE network and a public networks. Public networks rely on publicly auctioned spectrum by regulatory bodies for services provided by mobile network operators. Private networks traditionally rely on technologies such as Wi-Fi, LMR (LAN Mobile Radio) and DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems) to provide wireless services to private enterprises. With the emergence of OnGo leveraging the CBRS band in the United States over the shared spectrum, new possibilities are emerging to solve for previous technology limitations. Coupled with the launch of 5G services, enterprises and government industries in all verticals will have flexibility in how they advance their networks to create efficiencies within their organizations.
