Campus Network  5G

A Campus Network is a dedicated mobile network operating within a geographically defined area of a company, both inside and outside buildings. It provides complete data security and reliable communication. The Campus Network is the primary network that integrates LAN, IT, and OT networks, securing communication systems that are critical to the operation of enterprises.

As part of the product, the customer receives a dedicated mobile network with an SLA and guaranteed parameters such as bandwidth and latency. Additionally, the customer can choose from supplementary services such as video monitoring, data analytics, or alarm communication. All these components are tailored to the customer’s specific business needs.

The Campus Network is designed for large facilities such as factories, stadiums, hospitals, airports, and logistics centers. Technology companies and those focused on automation and robotics will benefit from the Campus Network to increase efficiency and security. Smaller enterprises can use the service to unify and secure their infrastructure.

Campus Network 5G offers higher bandwidth, reaching up to 10 Gb/s, and minimal latency below 1 ms. All network resources are fully dedicated for internal use, ensuring their availability without the need for prioritization, as is the case with solutions like APN. The Campus Network does not limit the number of connected devices, allowing up to one million components to operate simultaneously. Unlike public LTE and 5G networks, it can only be accessed by users with an assigned SIM card.

Campus Network 5G provides a high level of security thanks to protected frequencies and dedicated SIM cards, which prevent unauthorized users from accessing the network. Wi-Fi, on the other hand, relies on encryption and logical authentication to secure network access. The choice depends on the company’s needs. Wi-Fi is easy to configure and ideal for businesses that need simple access to corporate resources or the Internet mainly inside buildings, such as offices. 5G is suitable for enterprises where security and reliability over a large area are top priorities.

A LAN network is limited by its range and the number of ports, whereas Campus Network 5G offers wireless connectivity without such constraints. Campus Network 5G enables seamless device mobility and allows them to connect anywhere within the coverage area. Additionally, the service supports OT networks, critical communication, and IoT, enhancing operational efficiency.

The Campus Network is a reliable, secure, and scalable network that is essential for driving digital transformation. It enables the replacement of all existing communication systems with a single solution, eliminating traditional infrastructure barriers. The Campus Network is an ideal tool for introducing new technologies and increasing operational efficiency. Additionally, the Campus Network product allows for the selection of supplementary business-supporting services such as monitoring and data analytics. T-Mobile is also a partner to many IoT device suppliers, such as air-humidity sensors and motion detectors, which can further enhance the network deployment project.

The implementation process of a Campus Network begins with a detailed analysis of the customer’s business needs. Then a comprehensive network design is prepared, including coverage planning based on technical and business requirements. The prepared design meets all security standards. Depending on the variant, SIM cards are configured and assigned to dedicated networks (DNN). After carefully adapting devices and applications to the Campus Network, an implementation schedule is created along with the final network configuration.

The implementation includes building the network infrastructure according to the design, installing the equipment, configuring it, and performing tests. The duration of the testing phase depends on the complexity of the project. Once the tests are completed, an acceptance protocol is signed, which initiates the provision of the service.
