A private mobile network gives a site the coverage, control and local traffic it needs. On its own, it stops at the fence and at the firewall: devices lose service when they leave the site, and reaching the corporate applications means building tunnels by hand. Private LAN combines compact 4G or 5G radio, a complete Ouroboros core — subscribers, data, IMS voice, messaging — secure access to your corporate datacenters, and a roaming link to a mobile operator. Phones, tablets and IoT devices are served alike.
We've selected Ouroboros because it was the best company capable of fulfilling our need for a scalable and virtualised full MVNO platform. Moreover, the Ouroboros team is pragmatic, flexible and responsive.

A port, a mine, a factory, a campus or a group of sites needs mobile coverage it controls. Public coverage is weak or absent, the traffic of the sites should stay private, and the devices — staff phones, tablets, vehicles, sensors and machines — must reach the corporate applications in the datacenter, not the public internet.
A private network solves the coverage, but it often creates an island. Devices provisioned on it have no service outside, visitors with an MNO SIM cannot use it, and every connection to the corporate network becomes a separate VPN project. The large vendors sell private networks sized for national operators, or as closed boxes with no roaming and no clean way into the enterprise network.
What the sites need is a small, complete 4G or 5G core, standard radio, a secure path to the datacenters, and the same roaming interfaces an operator uses.
Private LAN is built from compact 4G or 5G radio and a complete Ouroboros core, sharing one subscriber database. 4G/LTE connects an eNodeB to the vEPC: the MME for attach, authentication and mobility, the SGW and PGW for data with local breakout. 5G Standalone connects a gNodeB to the AMF, with the SMF and the UPF for sessions and local traffic, and network slices to separate the services.
The HSS and the UDM share one data repository: a device is provisioned once, for 4G and 5G. Each service gets its own private APN or DNN, connected to the corporate network over IPsec, L2TP or a dedicated VLAN. IoT devices attach with their own APN or slice. The IMS core carries VoLTE, VoNR and VoWiFi. The same core serves several sites, and the DRA carries Diameter signalling toward the partner MNO.
Private APN or DNN per service, IPsec, L2TP or VLAN toward the corporate network, static addresses and per-device policy.
IoT devices get their own APN or slice, fixed addresses, data limits and equipment control through the EIR.

A mine, port or plant runs its own 4G or 5G network for machines, sensors and staff, connected to the corporate datacenter. Workers keep service on the public network when they leave the site.
Several sites share one private network: the same SIMs, numbers and voice services, local traffic on each site, secure access to the head-office datacenter, and roaming on the public network in between.
A university or a hospital offers private coverage for its own devices and business applications, while the MNO’s subscribers keep their own service through inbound roaming.
Trackers, meters and vehicle modules work on the private network on site and on the MNO network on the road, with one SIM and one subscriber record.
Nothing is missing for an operator-grade private network: subscribers (HSS / UDM), data, IMS voice, SMS, charging, policy, datacenter access and roaming, for one site or a network of sites.
The private network plugs into the enterprise: private APN or DNN per service, IPsec, L2TP or VLAN toward the datacenters, per-device policy.
Built with the roaming interfaces of a full operator, so the private network joins the mobile ecosystem instead of standing next to it.
4G today, 5G SA when you want it, on the same platform and the same subscriber database.
