(Overview)
• Ericsson Private 5G Compact
• End-to-End Private Cellular Network: Ericsson Private 5G
Compact is a secure, cloud-native solution tailored for
enterprise IT ecosystems, initially leveraging the USA’s
4G LTE CBRS spectrum.
• Plug-and-Play Scalability: Designed for ease of
deployment, it features an API-first architecture to
ensure scalable, plug-and-play private network setups.
• Flexible Deployment Options: Supports both on-
premises and public cloud deployment, allowing
enterprises to maintain local data control while
benefiting from cloud-based management.
• Cellular Access Points (CAPs): These include small cells
(A2400 indoor, A2405/A2415 outdoor) for seamless 4G
LTE private RAN connectivity across enterprise locations.

Theory (Components)
• MGW: The Private 5G Compact Mobility Gateway provides cellular functionality and
is comprised of four components
• Home Subscriber Server (HSS), which supports NetCloud Private SIM
authentication
• Mobility Management Entity (MME), which manages the control plane
• Serving Gateway (SGW), which manages the user data plane
• Packet Gateway (PGW), which connects to the external network
Theory
(Components)
• Cellular Access Points (Cellular APs)
• Private RAN Connectivity: Cradlepoint's 4G LTE Cellular APs, supporting
CBRS band B48, can connect up to 256 active users per AP, forming the
private Radio Access Network (RAN) authenticated through a mobility
gateway.
• Versatile Deployment Options: Ruggedized designs include integrated
antennas with up to 2x2 MIMO and carrier aggregation, and models are
available for indoor (wall/ceiling-mounted) and outdoor (wall/pole-
mounted) environments.
• Spectrum Access System (SAS) Server
• Dynamic Spectrum Management: Subscriptions to Federated Wireless and
Google SAS ensure automated, interference-free frequency coordination
for CBRS networks.
• Regulatory Compliance: SAS follows established communication
protocols by the
• Wireless Innovation Forum (WinnForum) to protect network integrity and
performance.
