Built around a converged 4G/5G cellular core, Ericsson Private 5G Compact has the flexibility to be deployed on the enterprise premises or in the 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.
Ericsson Private 5G Compact excels in network determinism, client mobility, and overall reliability, markedly outperforming Wi-Fi. The Ericsson Private 5G Compact Mobility Gateway ensures predictable network behavior with guaranteed bandwidth, essential for critical applications. Unlike Wi-Fi, where client devices determine handoffs, potentially leading to connectivity gaps, the mobility gateway manages client mobility seamlessly across multiple cellular access points (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.
