Private 4G/5G Networks in Universities

Connectivity is a must in education nowadays as most of the knowledge and information is available online. Universities are not an exception as they need connectivity for all kinds of things. Wi-Fi is the preferred way of connecting the facilities, staff and students but as connectivity challenges and security incidents increase, some of them are turning to Private LTE/5G Networks.

Recently Boldyn Networks released an eBook explaining the role of private networks in Industry 4.0. Looking at the universities from the eBook as shown in the picture above, we see quite a few other areas in addition to connectivity where private networks will have a role to play.

IoT sensors generally rely on the unlicensed ISM band(s) that are prone to congestion and interference. This is one of the major issues that private networks eliminate while using a dedicated band. 

While the emphasis is on private networks on this particular blog, it should be clearly stated that Wi-Fi will always complement these private networks and will always be around for most non-critical tasks.
