Private 5G — My Verizon Business Dedicated Campus Networks

Private 5G from My Verizon Business deploys a dedicated cellular network on your premises — manufacturing plant, hospital campus, warehouse, stadium, logistics hub, or university. The network serves your organization alone. Bandwidth does not fluctuate with public cellular load, spectrum is coordinated for your use case, and every radio unit is engineered to your coverage and device-density requirements. Enterprises choose Private 5G when enterprise Wi-Fi cannot deliver the predictable latency, mobility, and density their operations demand.

Over 500 Private 5G deployments run on My Verizon Business today. Each supports up to 10,000 connected devices per campus, guarantees sub-10ms latency, and integrates with existing IT and OT infrastructure through standard APIs. Deployment runs 8 to 16 weeks from contract to production cutover — site survey, RF engineering, spectrum coordination, radio unit installation, core commissioning, and user acceptance testing handled by My Verizon Business engineers.

Predictable Latency

Sub-10ms round-trip latency across the radio access network. Machine vision inference, AGV coordination, and AR workflows run at deterministic timing. Wi-Fi latency varies with contention and roaming — Private 5G does not.

Carrier-Grade Mobility

Handoff between radio units is handled at the core network level. Mobile workflows — AGVs, AMRs, handheld scanners, roaming medical carts — maintain session continuity across the entire coverage area.

Massive Device Density

A single deployment supports 10,000 devices across heterogeneous categories — IoT sensors, AGVs, AR headsets, industrial PLCs, connected medical devices. Sizing is guided by the RF survey.

RF Survey and Spectrum Coordination

The first phase is the RF survey. My Verizon Business engineers measure existing radio conditions, identify interference sources, plan radio unit placement for the coverage area, and size the core for the expected device load. Spectrum coordination maps Verizon-licensed bands, CBRS shared spectrum, and mmWave to the specific deployment. CBRS deployments register with the Spectrum Access System coordinator per FCC rules governing General Authorized Access tiers.

Output of the RF phase is an engineering design — radio unit count, placement, power levels, backhaul routing, and core network sizing. This design drives the bill of materials, installation schedule, and cutover plan. Complex multi-building campuses may require distributed antenna systems or remote radio heads to fill gaps that a single macro cell cannot cover.

Installation, Commissioning, and Integration

Radio unit installation follows the engineering design. Units mount on ceilings, walls, rooftops, or light poles depending on the environment. Backhaul runs over fiber or dedicated microwave. Core network commissioning brings up the 5G core — AMF, SMF, UPF, PCF — at a Verizon data center or at the customer edge for air-gapped deployments. SIM profiles are provisioned for every device that will join the network. Integration with existing IT systems works through REST APIs for device management, RADIUS for authentication, and syslog for monitoring.

User acceptance testing validates coverage, throughput, latency, and mobility against the design. Edge cases — device roaming between radio units, handoff during mobility, authentication under load — are exercised before production cutover. Customer network operations teams train with Private 5G engineers during the final weeks. Post-cutover support continues under a named customer success manager and the 24/7 Private 5G operations center. Onboarding documentation captures the deployment so future changes have a baseline to reference.

Manufacturing and Industrial

Manufacturing plants use Private 5G to coordinate AGV fleets, run machine vision quality inspection, drive AR-assisted maintenance, and stream real-time production telemetry. A 3-plant automotive supplier cut AGV downtime 40% after migrating from Wi-Fi. Machine vision cameras on the production line feed edge computing nodes for defect detection inference. PLCs, sensors, and handheld scanners all share the same network with guaranteed priority.

Healthcare Campuses

Hospital systems deploy Private 5G across multi-building campuses for connected medical devices, mobile workstations, and patient telemetry. Medical devices roam with patients between departments without losing session state. The HIPAA healthcare network stack pairs Private 5G with segmented VLANs for PHI traffic. Telemedicine carts connect at any point on campus without Wi-Fi reauthentication.

Logistics and Warehousing

Warehouses deploy Private 5G for Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), AR-assisted order picking, handheld scanners, and forklift telematics. Cold-chain facilities run IoT sensors on the same cellular network as the AMRs. Outdoor yards — container terminals, truck parking — extend the Private 5G footprint where Wi-Fi cannot reach reliably.

Stadiums, Universities, Public Sector

Stadiums and arenas run Private 5G for broadcast video feeds, staff communications, and venue operations. Universities deploy it for research clusters, campus mobility, and connected dormitories. Federal agencies with FedRAMP authorization use Private 5G for secure campus communications isolated from public infrastructure. Each vertical carries its own regulatory profile layered on the same Private 5G technology stack.

"Our three manufacturing plants had chronic Wi-Fi dead zones that stalled AGVs twice a shift. Private 5G from My Verizon Business eliminated them. AGV downtime dropped 40%. Throughput up 14% within the first quarter after cutover."

Dr. Amelia Foster — VP of Operations Technology, Industrial Equipment Manufacturer

"We moved 1,200 connected medical devices from Wi-Fi onto Private 5G across our flagship campus. Roaming between buildings no longer drops sessions. Infusion pump data streams continuously — that was the clinical breakthrough we needed."

Michael Torres — CISO, Regional Hospital System

"Private 5G covered our outdoor container yard plus four indoor warehouses as a single network. AMRs handoff seamlessly. Handheld scanners work everywhere. We retired a patchwork of Wi-Fi extenders and cellular boosters."

How does Private 5G differ from public 5G?

Private 5G dedicates radio, spectrum, and core to a single organization. Public 5G shares infrastructure with all subscribers. Private 5G from My Verizon Business guarantees sub-10ms latency and predictable throughput with no consumer contention.

What spectrum does Private 5G use?

Verizon-licensed spectrum, CBRS (3.55–3.7 GHz), and mmWave. CBRS deployments register with the Spectrum Access System per FCC rules. RF engineers handle coordination during the site survey.

How many devices can a Private 5G network support?

Up to 10,000 devices per campus — AGVs, AR headsets, machine vision cameras, PLCs, medical devices, handheld scanners, and IoT sensors. Larger campuses scale by adding radio units coordinated by the same core.

What is the deployment timeline for Private 5G?

8–16 weeks from contract to cutover. Phases: site survey (1–2 weeks), engineering (2–3 weeks), installation and commissioning (3–6 weeks), testing and cutover (2–4 weeks). See Onboarding.

What use cases benefit most from Private 5G?

Dense industrial environments, multi-building campuses, mobile workflows (AGVs, AMRs, medical carts), latency-sensitive automation, and outdoor yards. Wi-Fi cannot match the density, mobility, and predictability.
