Mobile Private Networks

Imagine if previously impossible outcomes could be brought to life; if places that were impossible to connect could be fully networked; if you could bring computing power to your employee's fingertips, equipment and assets, no matter how inaccessible your business site.

Helping you on your digital transformation journey

Vodafone Mobile Private Networks (MPN) can deliver new possibilities for next-generation businesses – with Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) unlocking even more potential. The combined solution delivers secure connectivity and powerful computing in real-time from the edge of the network - in places that previously couldn’t be connected. It’s time to make the impossible possible - with networking which gives your business the edge.

Discover Mobile Private Networks

A Mobile Private Network is a local network built to cover a specific location, able to deliver better service with more control and security. Understand more about MPN and how the solution could transform your business.

Jargon busting: what is a mobile private network and why do we need it?

5G for business means much more than faster mobile speeds. What would you do with your own private mobile network? Chris Allen tells us what it is and why it works.

What’s in it for you?

The resilience of MPN means less downtime and first-class performance. When combined with MEC, you’ll see greater business responsiveness - as your data can be collected, analysed and acted upon locally – fast! – opening up new use cases.

MPN is tailored to your requirements – addressing your connectivity and speed needs now and in the future. MEC also offers the same fexibility as the public cloud, which traditionally allows users to scale up or down the computing power that they need.

With data being collected and actioned at the edge of a private network, non time-critical data can be streamed to the cloud when bandwidth needs are lower, leading to improved performance and cost savings.

From improving worker safety to creating intelligent assets, we can connect your equipment via the right technology including 4G, 5G and Narrowband-IoT.

MPN is built with your business – and only your business – in mind. We keep your data safe, since it does not leave your site.
