Private LTE Solutions

What is Ericsson Private 5G?

Your own network. On your own site. On your own terms.

Ericsson Private 5G gives enterprise and industrial operations a dedicated on-premises cellular network built around their site, their coverage needs, and their operational demands — not a public carrier’s network.

01

Own the coverage

Built for your site map, including hard-to-reach areas, steel-framed buildings, remote zones, and underground operations.

02

Keep data on site

Operational traffic stays on your premises instead of routing through public infrastructure.

03

Support automation

Ultra-low latency supports automation, remote-controlled equipment, sensors, and connected worker applications.

04

Scale without ripping out

EP5G supports LTE and 5G on the same platform, so you can deploy what you need today and evolve over time.

Built to run itself

EP5G is managed through a simple cloud dashboard, updates itself, and can be deployed quickly. Westcan handles the design, installation, commissioning, and support — so your team gets enterprise-grade wireless without the enterprise-grade headache.

Private LTE and 5G,
Built for Where You Actually Work

Westcan ACS and Ericsson bring dedicated private wireless networks to Western Canada’s toughest industrial environments — so your people, machines, and data stay connected where public networks can’t reach.

Let’s Talk About Your Site

Every operation is different — that’s the whole point of a private network. Tell us
about your site, your coverage gaps, and what you’re trying to connect, and we’ll tell
you honestly whether private LTE/5G is the right fit and what it would take to deploy.

WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH EP5G

What does a Private Network Unlock?

Connected Workers

Push-to-talk, video, AR-assisted maintenance, and real-time safety monitoring all run on one reliable network that follows your people across the entire site.

Safer Teams

Automation & Remote Operations

Autonomous equipment, remote-controlled drills, drone inspections, and robotic systems depend on low latency, high reliability, and network control.

Low Latency

Site-Wide Data & Sensors

IoT sensors, cameras, machines, and tracking systems provide operational data in real time, giving organizations complete visibility across their entire operation.

Real-Time Insights
Industries
Made for Western Canada’s Resource Economy
Big sites. Remote locations. Harsh conditions. No carrier coverage.
Private 5G was built for exactly these environments.

Mining

Private LTE/5G connects underground workers, autonomous vehicles, ventilation systems, and remote operations where public cellular simply doesn’t exist.

Oil & Gas

Secure communications for field crews, SCADA systems, inspection drones, and processing facilities spread across demanding operating environments.

Forestry

Keep mills, harvest blocks, logging equipment, and field personnel connected beyond the reach of public carrier infrastructure.

Utilities

Reliable communications for substations, smart grids, line crews, and critical infrastructure that cannot afford network outages.

Manufacturing

Private wireless supports automated production lines, robotics, AGVs, IoT devices, and reliable indoor coverage across large facilities.

Ericsson private 5G, delivered locally

Global Technology, Local Hands

Ericsson brings the platform — the same private network technology deployed by some of the world’s most demanding industrial operators. Westcan brings everything else: the site surveys, RF engineering, installation crews, Western Canadian field experience, and local support when something needs attention.

We’ve spent nearly five decades keeping mission-critical communications running across this region, from two-way radio systems to broadband push-to-talk, in-building coverage, and now Private LTE and 5G.

Proven in the World’s Toughest Operations

Ericsson private networks are already running in mines, ports, factories, and energy operations around the world — carrying mission-critical traffic in environments where failure isn’t an option. Nearly half of the world’s mobile traffic already travels through Ericsson network technology. This isn’t emerging tech. It’s the same infrastructure the world’s carriers trust, packaged for your site.

“Private LTE is emerging as a real solution for enterprises that need reliable, secure connectivity on their own terms. Ericsson has built some of the most advanced private network infrastructure in the world, and we’re proud to bring that capability to our customers in Western Canada.”
