Do we need spectrum licensing for private 5G?
In the UK, shared-access spectrum licences cover most private network deployments. We handle the application as part of the project and design within the granted band.

Private 5G and Industrial Wireless Networks
Overview
Private 5G and Industrial Wireless Networks
Manufacturing and logistics buyers search for ultra-reliable, low-latency wireless long before they search for an access point model. We design industrial wireless — private 5G, Wi-Fi 6 and 6E — for environments where a dropped frame stops a production line.

Where private 5G beats Wi-Fi — and where it does not
Private 5G earns its place over large outdoor yards, moving vehicles and high-interference plant floors. Inside a warehouse with good cabling, Wi-Fi 6E is usually cheaper and quicker. We survey first and recommend the one that fits, including hybrid designs that use both.
- Site survey covering interference, coverage and device density
- Private 5G for yards, AGVs, cranes and long outdoor runs
- Wi-Fi 6 and 6E for dense indoor coverage and handheld fleets
- Hybrid designs with seamless roaming between the two
Built for automation traffic
Automation traffic cares about jitter and determinism more than raw throughput. We design for predictable latency, then prove it with loaded testing before the line depends on it.
- Latency and packet-loss targets agreed before design sign-off
- Ruggedised access points and enclosures for plant environments
- Redundant uplinks and controllers so one failure is not an outage
Segmenting OT from IT
Industrial devices are rarely patchable on an IT schedule, so they belong behind their own enforcement point. We separate OT wireless from corporate traffic and control exactly what can cross between them.
- Dedicated OT SSIDs and VLANs with firewalled boundaries
- Controlled, logged remote access for machine vendors
- Monitoring tuned to industrial device behaviour

FAQs
Questions We Are Asked Most
Can this run alongside our existing Wi-Fi?
Yes — most sites run both. Corporate Wi-Fi stays as it is while the private network carries automation and vehicle traffic, with routing and security policy between them.
