Terranet Communications, a leading provider LTE and 5G-ready private broadband networks, and Baicells, a leading equipment manufacturer of 4G LTE and 5G NR solutions, on Wednesday announced the successful deployment of the nation’s largest LTE, 5G-ready private municipal network for the City of Las Vegas. 

Deployed in only 45 days, the 5G-ready private network named Advanced Connectivity for Community and Economic Development (ACCED), will help Las Vegas become one of the United States’ first, premier smart cities. Due to its success, a four-stage plan is in place to expand the wireless network across the entire city of Las Vegas and potentially neighboring cities, with a goal of improving connectivity for other city services, including law enforcement, telehealth, and general IoT infrastructure.

 

The City of Las Vegas tapped Terranet Communications to deploy the private network due to concern over the digital divide many of its citizens and students faced as a result of the increased requirement for remote work and education caused by the onset of COVID-19. At the time, upwards of 30,000 children did not have internet access and were struggling to remain connected to their schools and keep up with their classmates. Terranet and the City of Las Vegas chose Baicells’ Nova 436Q paired with indoor Atom CPEs to provide the city’s fixed-wireless LTE connections.

Bart van Aardenne, CEO and Co-founder, Terranet Communications
Terranet’s design and end-to-end deployment approach to the Las Vegas private network is a significant example of how our company’s expert team and best-in-class infrastructure partners, like Baicells, can quickly and cost-effectively meet real-world needs for specialized, robust, reliable and secure broadband connectivity.

Bob Stone, Director of Carrier Solutions, Baicells North America
Setting up a private LTE network in Las Vegas was no small task. Our plug and play equipment made it possible for us to set up a proof-of-concept project in 45 days, and that was crucial to getting the network off the ground.
