floLIVE, creator of the world’s first and largest global hyperlocal network, and Baicells, a leading LTE and 5G cellular RAN provider, have come together to launch a new private 5G network solution for Industry 4.0 and IoT use cases. The new offering can be deployed on-prem, in the cloud or in a hybrid model, and comes with a mobile core network, RAN elements and SIMs, supported by a unified management layer.
The solution is designed for an easy DIY deployment, with operational simplicity and no need for professional System Integrators.
Enterprises can now quickly kickstart a solution rollout with a cloud-based service, which can later transition into an on-premises or hybrid solution as needs demand to cater for localized functions like enhanced security, low latency, or even outbound roaming outside the campus. As a unified, web-based, automated management application, the solution provides a single pane of glass to configure, operate and manage the network without having to bring on new support staff or invest heavily in new training.
Enterprises benefit not only from the privacy, security, and performance of their own private network, but also from seamless handover between the private and public networks that ensures their devices are connected at all times.
Asaf Gigi, VP Marketing, floLIVE
We are excited to launch this new offering with a leading RAN provider such as Baicells. We’ve learned that many Private 5G deployments fail due to the highly experienced personnel required to deploy, configure and operate them. With our new approach, we simplify all aspects of ordering, deploying, operating and expanding the system, making it highly attractive to our enterprise customers.
Tony Eigen, VP Marketing, Baicells
Private cellular and 5G are a great fit for these enterprises and we’re only in the early innings with regard to awareness and deployment. Introducing flexible solutions that are simple and familiar to those in the IT environment is a key step to seeing the embedded base grow. Contributing our industry leading RAN platforms to the floLIVE solution is a win for these types of enterprises.
