Hello dears,
Does anyone have a simple definiton of Private LTE and Private 5G?
Long time ago, I wrote a note about LTE private network:

This figure shows what a private 4G/5G network look like, a high-level architecture with the most important components delivered in different flavours.
-
The Radio Access Network (RAN) consists of antennas, radio heads and base stations which typically are deployed on premise.
-
The Core network can be delivered in three ways:
A. Vanilla MNO style with termination of User Plane (UP), Control Plane (CP) and O&M traffic in an MNO cloud.
B. Distributed core where the UP is terminated on premise while the CP (signaling, AAA, mobility) and O&M are handled by the MNO cloud. This is also referred to as split architecture.
C. Local core with UP, CP (and maybe O&M) on premise.
B and C allow for traffic to be broken out locally to for example an on-prem IoT platform or a MEC from companies like Nutanix, AWS, Microsoft or Cisco.
-
IP networks. Mobile Backhaul (MBH) is the trusted and SLA/QoS-based link between the RAN and the MNO mobile core.
-
The MNO public network is not required but often part of the setup for the core parts, the O&M infrastructure or to facilitate roaming between private/public networks.

Anyone agree?
