Enterprise Private Wireless Networks for Secure and Reliable Connectivity

Fully Managed Private Wireless Networks for Enterprise Operations

Private wireless networks using 4G/5G technology deliver the speed, security, and reliability your operations demand. Hughes provides a fully managed, private wireless network tailored for businesses of any size where Wi-Fi struggles to support business critical applications. Unlike shared networks or patchy over-burdened Wi-Fi, private wireless gives you dedicated, site-wide connectivity that works seamlessly indoors and out. 

 

A Simplified Private Wireless Network

With decades of experience delivering managed network services, Hughes accelerates your automation and Industry 4.0 transformation, everything from design and deployment to ongoing operations. Our full-lifecycle support means faster rollout, less burden on your IT team, and a smoother path to reliable connectivity. 

Construction site
Recognized as a Leader in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Managed Network Services.

Built for the Demands of High-Density Enterprise Environments

Modern operations rely on connectivity. Whether it’s autonomous robots, handheld scanners, or facility-wide sensors, our private wireless networks are purpose-built for high-density, mission-critical environments where Wi-Fi falls short.

Smarter Signal
Unlike shared Wi-Fi, private wireless offers high bandwidth, low latency, and always-on connectivity customized to your environment and devices. It’s not just stronger signal, it’s smarter signal.
Local
Installed on your premises, private wireless acts like your own dedicated cellular system: secure, managed, and optimized for your business. Devices authenticate via SIM, not passwords. Traffic is isolated. Your most important systems get priority.
Less Disruption
WiFi was never designed for today's connectivity needs. Forklifts disconnect, robots freeze, teams reboot. Private wireless fixes that ensuring seamless mobility, faster task completion, and fewer IT headaches.
Scalable
As your operations grow, your network will grow with you. Easily scale coverage, add devices, or extend to new facilities without major redesigns or delays.

Case Study: Unlocking Smarter Warehouse Performance with Private Wireless 

The Problem: A national home improvement retailer struggled with unreliable Wi-Fi across its 700,000 sq. ft. indoor warehouse and 560,000 sq. ft. yard. With spotty coverage and high latency, their forklift-mounted tablets, scanners, and label printers frequently disconnected—slowing operations and creating inventory inaccuracies.

The Solution: The private wireless network was designed to deliver seamless coverage and high reliability with a significantly reduced number of radios compared to Wi-Fi network. The cellular technology within the core network of the solution also designed to achieve low latency, ensuring a high-performance connection with security and reliability.

The Outcome: Private wireless unlocked real performance results for the customer. Most importantly, the network now positions them to support future applications like AGVs, mobile robots, video training, and collision avoidance systems—with rock-solid connectivity and low latency.

99%

Indoor coverage achieved with just 22 private wireless access points replacing 111 Wi-Fi APs.

5X

Lower latency with more than double the throughput, enabling robotics, HD video, and real-time inventory systems.

81%

Lower total cost of ownership compared to Wi-Fi. Thanks to fewer devices, easier installs, and simplified infrastructure.

Future Ready Enterprise Connectivity Starts Here

Private wireless isn’t a someday idea—it’s live now. Features like network slicing, ultra-low latency, and precise location sensing are beginning to reshape industries. We help you adopt them without disruption.

Private wireless adoption is accelerating across logistics, manufacturing, and smart retail—getting in early means you shape how it works for you.
