Private LTE Solutions
Connected operations, deeper in the field.
Extend secure, high-performance wireless connectivity across forestry operations where traditional public networks may be limited, unreliable or unavailable.
A network designed around the realities of forestry.
Forestry operations can span vast areas where steep terrain, dense vegetation and distance from public infrastructure make dependable connectivity difficult.
A Private LTE network gives operators a dedicated wireless environment for connecting personnel, vehicles, cameras, sensors and operational systems across mills, yards, harvesting areas and other critical locations.
Start a Network ConversationLTE
Forestry cannot depend on ideal network conditions.
Operations need communications infrastructure that accounts for remote geography, mobile crews and continuously changing work sites.
Remote and Rugged Terrain
Mountains, dense forests and large distances can create coverage gaps that affect communications and visibility across the operation.
Distributed Work Sites
Mills, yards, logging roads, harvesting areas and temporary sites may all require different coverage and capacity strategies.
Mobile Equipment and Crews
Workers, trucks and heavy equipment need to remain connected as they move between operational areas and changing job sites.
Safety-Critical Communications
Field teams require dependable access to voice, data and emergency communications during routine work and critical incidents.
Limited Operational Visibility
Without dependable data connectivity, equipment status, production information and field conditions may be delayed or fragmented.
Unreliable Public Coverage
Commercial network availability may not align with the location, performance requirements or priorities of the forestry operation.
Purpose-built connectivity for the entire operation.
Private LTE creates a dedicated wireless foundation that can support current communications requirements while preparing the operation for increased automation, sensing and data-driven decision-making.
Extend Coverage Where It Is Needed
Design coverage around mills, processing facilities, yards, high-traffic roads and priority field locations instead of relying solely on public carrier infrastructure.
Prioritize Critical Traffic
Support operational applications with defined performance policies so important communications and data are given the appropriate network priority.
Connect More Than Mobile Devices
Build a common network for rugged handhelds, vehicle systems, cameras, sensors, tablets, gateways and other connected assets.
Strengthen Network Control
Maintain greater control over device access, user permissions, network policies and how operational data moves across the site.
Create a Scalable Foundation
Start with priority operational areas and expand coverage, capacity and connected applications as business requirements evolve.
One network. Multiple operational priorities.
Private LTE can provide a common connectivity layer for communications, safety, monitoring and industrial applications throughout the forestry environment.
