Written by Kajeet | Dec 5, 2023 9:22:24 PM

Whether you're an organization or an individual, the importance of reliable and seamless connectivity cannot be overstated -- and that's why we've built our Smart Private 5G™ Neutral Host Network Platform, a revolutionary neutral host network. This innovation is poised to redefine how organizations such as higher education campuses, hospitals, and other businesses approach wireless connectivity, offering not just a solution but a comprehensive strategy for efficient and future-proof communication.

In this post, which is Part 2 of our extensive exploration of neutral host networks and our Smart Private 5G Neutral Host Network Platform (Part 1 is here), we'll delve deeper into the technical intricacies of this innovative solution, emphasize critical security and compliance considerations, and discuss why the Smart Private 5G Neutral Host Network Platform stands out in the market -- and indeed, why it's already won the Excellence in Neutral Host Networks award from the U.S. Broadband Summit and the Private Wireless Network Innovation award from IoT Evolution.

Join us as we dive into our Smart Private 5G Neutral Host Network Platform, and learn why it's a game-changer for any organization striving for robust, efficient, and scalable wireless solutions. And be sure and watch the video, below, with neutral host network expert Derrick Frost taking us through this blog post!

Technological Integration for Enhanced Connectivity

Kajeet's strategic decision to unveil its neutral host network is grounded in the seamless integration of Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) technology with the traditional carrier networks. This convergence forms the bedrock of our next-generation Smart Private 5G Neutral Host Network Platform, capitalizing on our robust interconnectivity into carrier networks. At the heart of this integration is the implementation of Multi-Operator Core Network (MOCN) technology and a gateway solution.

 

The MOCN gateway serves as the linchpin, establishing a seamless connection between private wireless networks deployed at diverse customer locations—such as universities and hospitals—and multiple carrier networks. This strategic integration not only enhances in-building coverage but also facilitates support for multiple carriers through a unified, shared solution.

Streamlining Connectivity with the Two-for-One Advantage

A standout feature of our neutral host network solution is the inherent two-for-one advantage it extends to businesses. By deploying a single network, our clients can enjoy the benefits of a private wireless network—enhanced coverage, increased capacity, and robust security. Simultaneously, Kajeet's MOCN gateway also establishes connections with multiple carriers, transforming the private network into a versatile solution that supports them all. This innovative approach eliminates the need to deploy individual networks for each carrier, streamlining processes and reducing complexity for businesses.

Strategic Market Positioning for Competitive Edge

The decision to launch our neutral host network at this specific juncture is underpinned by our competitive lead in the private wireless marketplace. Leveraging existing relationships with carriers in the public wireless sector, we position ourselves uniquely in the market. This strategic advantage enables us to seamlessly merge the strengths of private and public wireless, offering customers a compelling application that enhances the overall value proposition of owning a private wireless network.

Security and Compliance: Pillars of the Smart Private 5G Neutral Host Network Platform

Security stands as a top priority in the wireless connectivity landscape, and Kajeet addresses these concerns by building on the robust foundation of private wireless networks, known for their high security and reliability. Our network relies on Subscriber Identity Module (SIM)-based connectivity, ensuring that only authorized devices equipped with the appropriate SIM can establish a connection—a fundamental layer of security.

To further fortify security, Kajeet employs secure IPSEC VPN tunnels. These tunnels establish robust connectivity between our network and carrier networks, ensuring that all data traffic is secure and protected. In terms of compliance, Kajeet's neutral host solution is meticulously designed to support traditional carrier services, including roaming, data and voice capability, and, critically, Enhanced 911 (E911) capability for emergency services.

Kajeet's Unique Value Proposition: A Simplified Connectivity Ecosystem

What sets Kajeet's neutral host solution apart from other offerings is our comprehensive and unique value proposition. Unlike other providers, Kajeet serves as a one-stop-shop for connectivity, collaborating with multiple carriers to simplify the customer experience. We pride ourselves as the only supplier seamlessly integrating public wireless, private wireless, and neutral host solutions into a single, cohesive offering.



Whether our customers seek public connectivity from major cellular carriers, a private wireless network for independent control, or a hybrid solution combining both, Kajeet delivers. The added advantage of a unified management interface, known as Sentinel, further simplifies the process, allowing customers to provision, activate, and manage Subscriber Identity Modules (SIMs) seamlessly across all networks, both public and private.
