Private LTE Solutions
Your network. Your site. Your control.
Private wireless gives industrial operations dedicated connectivity engineered around their people, equipment and applications — with Ericsson technology and Westcan expertise behind it.
Global Technology. Local Hands.
Ericsson brings the private 5G platform. Westcan makes it work in the real world. Private wireless has to perform across your actual terrain, buildings, equipment, workflows and applications — not just on a network diagram.
Technology is only part of the network.
Westcan takes the platform from concept to operation. We assess the site, engineer the coverage, deploy the infrastructure, integrate the devices and applications, and stay involved as the network grows.
We walk the site
Understand where coverage is needed, what has to connect and where existing networks fall short.
We engineer the network
Design RF coverage and infrastructure around the operation, not around a generic template.
We deploy and integrate it
Install, commission and connect the people, machines, cameras, sensors and applications that depend on the network.
We stay involved
Support the network as the operation changes, expands and adds new use cases.
The network has to work where the operation actually happens.
Coverage maps, equipment movement, buildings, terrain and operating workflows all affect network performance. Westcan designs the deployment around those realities before the first piece of infrastructure is installed.
The problem isn’t connectivity. It’s connectivity you can’t control.
As operations become more connected, public cellular and conventional Wi-Fi can become the weak link behind automation, mobility and site-wide visibility.
Your operation depends on infrastructure you do not fully control.
Remote sites, underground areas, steel structures and large industrial footprints can sit outside dependable public coverage.
Operational applications compete with public traffic and infrastructure you do not manage.
Large sites, moving equipment and handoffs can make reliable mobility harder to maintain.
Robotics, remote operations and real-time applications need predictable performance.
A network built around the operation instead of the public network.
Design the network around the places where people, machines and applications actually need to connect.
Give operational traffic its own private wireless foundation.
Support workers, vehicles and equipment as they move across the site.
Build a foundation for voice, video, sensors, automation and future applications.
One network across people, machines and infrastructure.
Private LTE and 5G can create a common connectivity layer across the operation — supporting mobile workers, vehicles, cameras, sensors, automation and the next applications the site adopts.
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, coverage needs and operational demands — not a public carrier’s network.
Own the coverage
Design connectivity around hard-to-reach areas, steel-framed buildings, remote zones and underground operations.
Keep data on site
Operational traffic can remain within the private environment instead of depending on public infrastructure.
Support automation
Low-latency connectivity can support remote-controlled equipment, sensors, connected workers and automation.
Scale over time
LTE and 5G can be supported on the same platform so the network can evolve with operational requirements.
One network. More operational possibilities.
The value of private LTE and 5G is not the network itself. It is what the operation can reliably connect once that network is in place.
Connected Workers
Push-to-talk, video, AR-assisted maintenance and real-time safety applications across the site.
Automation & Remote Operations
Autonomous equipment, remote-controlled systems, robotics and drones that depend on reliable mobility.
Site-Wide Data & Sensors
IoT sensors, machines, telemetry and tracking systems feeding operational data in real time.
Video & Computer Vision
Cameras, inspections and computer-vision applications adding another layer of operational visibility.
See what private connectivity can look like in a mining operation.
Mining brings together many of the challenges private LTE and 5G are designed to solve: large operating areas, mobile equipment, remote locations and increasingly connected workers and machines.
Built for operations where connectivity is critical.
Large sites. Remote locations. Industrial environments. Critical infrastructure. Private LTE gives organizations more control over the network connecting it all.
Mining
Connect underground workers, autonomous vehicles, ventilation systems and remote operations beyond public cellular coverage.
Oil & Gas
Support field crews, SCADA, inspection drones and facilities spread across demanding operating environments.
Forestry
Connect mills, harvest blocks, equipment and field personnel beyond the reach of carrier infrastructure.
Utilities
Support substations, grids, line crews and critical infrastructure that cannot afford unreliable network access.
Manufacturing
Support robotics, AGVs, IoT devices and reliable mobility across large facilities and automated production environments.
From first site walk to a commissioned private network.
One partner coordinates the technical pieces required to move from an operational requirement to a working system.
Assess
Review the site, applications, coverage challenges, mobility needs and operational priorities.
Design
Develop RF coverage, architecture and deployment planning around the actual environment.
Deploy
Install, configure and commission the private wireless network and supporting infrastructure.
Integrate
Provision devices and connect the workers, machines, cameras, sensors and applications that depend on the network.
Support
Provide ongoing technical support, expansion planning and lifecycle assistance as requirements evolve.
