When Wi-Fi and public mobile networks aren't enough for every application

Production facilities are becoming more mobile, processes are increasingly automated, and more devices than ever need to communicate reliably. At the same time, demands for availability, security, and controllable network quality are rising.

With 5G-mLAN®, you get a locally operated, standalone mobile network specifically designed for your site, your applications, and your security requirements.

Reliably connecting mobile machines and vehicles

AGVs, AMRs, vehicles, handheld scanners, and mobile workstations require a stable connection, even while in motion.

Scaling industrial and IoT applications

Sensors, machines, and connected devices need to communicate securely and reliably across the entire factory or campus site.

Control network quality yourself

With 5G-mLAN®, network coverage, capacity, and resources are planned specifically for your own applications, areas, and operational requirements—independent of public mobile network traffic.

Securing critical communication locally

The 5G-mLAN® core system is operated locally. Users and devices are authenticated and managed within your own network; access can be controlled via fixed-assignment SIM or eSIM profiles.

5G-mLAN®: Your own 5G network on company premises
5G-mLAN® is a locally limited, standalone mobile network for companies and organizations.
Unlike public mobile networks, this solution operates on locally assigned frequencies within a defined area. This provides high control over network resources, data flows, and access rights.

The solution consists of a local core network, a Radio Access Network (RAN) with strategically placed small cells, and connected end devices. Devices are authenticated via SIM or eSIM. Edge computing can be integrated optionally to process data close to the application.
In Germany, the 3.7 to 3.8 GHz frequency band is typically available for local campus networks. These frequencies are assigned by the Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) on a site-specific basis; concrete planning and application are handled project-specifically. The Open RAN architecture ensures vendor-independent flexibility.

5G-mLAN® or Wi-Fi? The application decides.
5G campus networks and professional Wi-Fi networks are not mutually exclusive. Both technologies have different strengths and can complement each other within a site strategy. BROADNET therefore looks beyond just the radio technology, focusing instead on the specific application, existing IT infrastructure, end devices, and requirements for operation and availability.

The path to your private 5G campus network
Site Survey & Requirements

The project begins with a structural and radio-technical site survey. This involves assessing building structures, technical infrastructure, potential sources of interference, applications, end devices, as well as performance and security requirements.

Radio, Frequency, and Network Design

Based on the site survey, we develop the radio planning, core/RAN architecture, integration concept, and the necessary frequency planning or site-specific frequency applications.

Implementation & Integration

BROADNET handles the installation, integration, and commissioning of the core, radio cells, management, and connection to your existing corporate IT.

Operations, Monitoring & Optimization

Upon request, we can support 5G-mLAN® during ongoing operations with centralized management, monitoring, service, defined SLAs, and 24/7 support.

FAQ

Still have questions?

Here you will find answers to the questions most frequently asked by our clients.

What is a 5G campus network?

Plus Icon

5G-mLAN® is a locally limited, independent 5G mobile network for a defined company or campus area. The core network, radio coverage, and device access are specifically planned for the site and its applications.

For which companies is a 5G campus network worthwhile?

Plus Icon

Campus networks are particularly relevant for companies with mobile, industrial, or business-critical applications, for example in production, logistics, energy, infrastructure, and on large operational sites.

What is the difference between a campus network and public 5G?

Plus Icon

A private 5G-mLAN® is operated for a specific site and uses locally assigned frequencies. This means the core, user management, and data flows are under much greater control of the company than with a public mobile network or a network slice.

Is 5G better than Wi-Fi?

Plus Icon

Not necessarily. Both technologies have different strengths. 5G is particularly interesting for mobile, industrial, and controllable communication scenarios, while Wi-Fi remains very well-suited for many classic IT and office applications. The right solution depends on the use case.

Which frequencies can be used for 5G campus networks?

Plus Icon

In Germany, the 3.7 to 3.8 GHz range is typically used for local 5G campus networks. The Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) assigns the frequency on a site-specific basis; according to Compart, the allocation is designed for ten years. The specific application process is reviewed on a project-specific basis.

Can existing IT networks be connected?

Plus Icon

Yes. A campus network is generally integrated into the existing IT and communication infrastructure. The specific architecture depends on security requirements, applications, locations, and the desired operating model.

Can BROADNET also take over the operation of 5G-mLAN®?

Plus Icon

Yes. BROADNET and the Compart IT-Group support planning, implementation, integration, and ongoing operation. The specific service, monitoring, and SLA model is agreed upon on a project-by-project basis.

How does a 5G campus network project begin?

Plus Icon

It all starts with the location, applications, and requirements. Based on this, we plan the radio coverage, network architecture, integration, and operating model.
