Features and Benefits of MPN Private Network

The companies say that MPN Private allows businesses to operate a secure, localised mobile network on their premises, independent of any specific mobile provider. This solution is designed for industries that require high-performance, low-latency connectivity for applications such as mobile robots, digital twins, and connected workforces. The system ensures efficient data handling while keeping sensitive information on-site.

“With Ericsson, we have opted for an established and proven network equipment supplier with whom we are jointly advancing the topic of mobile private networks with and for companies in Switzerland so that they can benefit from the advantages of mobile networking,” says Fredy Portmann, Head of Connected Business Solutions at Swisscom Business Customers.
