A dedicated mobile network, built for your environment.
Private 5G provides a secure, dedicated mobile network that is designed specifically for a single organisation or site. Unlike public mobile networks or Wi-Fi, a Private 5G network is used only by the devices you authorise and is fully under your control.
It is designed for environments where reliability, security and predictable performance matter more than convenience.
Private 5G is your own mobile network, operating independently from public cellular services.
Because it is private, it does not suffer from congestion caused by external users or neighbouring networks. Bandwidth is reserved for your organisation, performance is consistent, and coverage can be engineered to match how your site is actually used, whether that’s indoors, outdoors, or across a combination of both.
Private 5G uses carrier-grade mobile technology, adapted for enterprise and operational use rather than consumer traffic.
Why organisations use Private 5G
Many modern environments place demands on connectivity that traditional wireless networks struggle to meet.
Private 5G is used where organisations need:
It is particularly well suited to sites where downtime, dead zones or unpredictable wireless behaviour are not acceptable.
A Private 5G network is made up of several core components. While the underlying technology is complex, a properly designed solution abstracts that complexity away from day to day operations.
Strategically placed radios provide coverage across the site. Fewer radios are often required compared to dense Wi-Fi deployments, reducing cabling and installation complexity.
A software based core manages security, traffic and performance. This typically runs on a dedicated server located on site, although off site hosting is also possible.
Devices connect using SIM-based credentials, ensuring each device is uniquely identified and authorised.
Real time monitoring and control allow the network to be tuned and adjusted as conditions change.
Secure by design
Security is built into the architecture of Private 5G. Only authorised devices can connect to the network, using SIM or eSIM authentication rather than shared passwords. Traffic is isolated, encrypted and never exposed to public users unless explicitly configured to do so.
Because the network is private, there are no standard data tariffs, billing systems or usage charges to manage.
Where Private 5G is typically used
Private 5G is most effective when deployed for applications that require consistent, predictable connectivity, including:
It is commonly deployed across manufacturing, logistics, energy, agriculture, construction, ports, utilities, campuses and emergency services.
A practical approach to deployment
Private 5G is not a consumer technology, and it is not plug-and-play.
Device compatibility depends on manufacturers and supported bands, and careful planning is required to ensure coverage, performance and security align with operational needs. Successful deployments rely on experienced system design, integration and ongoing support.
This is where TrellisWorks plays a key role.
