Many enterprises have invested in CBRS private networks powered by Nokia to support advanced manufacturing, IoT, AI, and mission-critical applications. Then someone asks the obvious question: if we built a cellular network, why doesn’t my phone work here?
This Application Note explains how InfiniG’s Mobile Coverage-as-a-Service allows organizations to add public mobile coverage to an existing Nokia CBRS Radio Access Network without new hardware. Through a partnership with Nokia, InfiniG enables a shared neutral host architecture where the same RAN infrastructure supports both private enterprise traffic and subscribers of public mobile network operators.
Using InfiniG’s cloud-based Multi-Operator Core Network service, the Nokia RAN advertises participating MNO PLMN-IDs alongside the private network identity. Public and private users share radios, antennas, baseband equipment, and Internet backhaul, while traffic remains securely isolated. Private enterprise applications maintain priority and performance, and public traffic travels through encrypted IPSec tunnels directly to each MNO core.
The result is improved productivity, enhanced safety with 911 and public alerts, and a lower total cost of ownership through shared infrastructure. InfiniG also centralizes carrier relationships, eliminating the need for enterprises to negotiate individual agreements with each MNO.
For brownfield deployments, InfiniG validates existing coverage to ensure mobile-grade performance and can recommend minor adjustments if needed. Greenfield environments can be designed from the start for shared use. Compared to traditional DAS, the solution offers higher capacity, cloud scalability, simpler 4G to 5G evolution, and greater enterprise visibility.
Ultimately, InfiniG and Nokia provide a secure, carrier-class, cost-effective path to deliver comprehensive indoor mobile coverage without rebuilding your network from scratch.
