Do you want to use your own network on your mobile subscription? You can do this via a private APN.
What is a private APN?
A private APN allows you to connect your mobile devices to your own network, with all data traffic routed through your own gateways. It is important to know that this APN is used as WAN and not as LAN. This means that all data traffic is routed through your own gateway(s). However, in very specific cases, we can also provide LAN connectivity.
Advantages of a private APN:
Security: Your data traffic remains within your own network, enhancing security.
Control: You have full control over data traffic and network access.
Flexibility: Your mobile devices can seamlessly integrate with your existing network structure.
How to link a private APN?
VPN tunnel: We can set up a VPN tunnel that connects your mobile devices to your gateway. This provides a secure and encrypted connection between your devices and your network.
Physical link: In certain cases, a physical connection can be established between our network and your infrastructure.
Specific requirements and support:
We can advise you on the best approach for your situation and provide support in the configuration and implementation of your private APN.
