Built around a converged 4G/5G cellular core, NetCloud Private Networks 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 NetCloud Private Networks Mobility Gateway enables secure access to enterprise data services from authenticated cellular endpoints.
Reliability You Can Count On
NetCloud Interoperability
NetCloud Private Networks excels in network determinism, client mobility, and overall reliability, markedly outperforming Wi-Fi. The 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 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.
Notable benefits
- Utilizes dedicated spectrum and advanced interference management, significantly reducing the risk of connection drops and ensuring superior connectivity
- Powerful IT-friendly tools to integrate NCPN with the existing enterprise LAN
- Flexible multi-core deployment options with on-premises virtual appliances or AWS/Azure cloud-based deployments
- End-to-end security, including SIM-based slicing, traffic prioritization, and unified policy management
- On-premises high availability failover built in for resilient always-on networking
Notice: All specifications subject to change without notice.
The Mobility Gateway is a virtual machine image that is installed on either customer provided third-party hardware or cloud AWS or Azure servers, according to the following system requirements.
