Private Wireless Networks
As enterprises look to transform their operations with cutting edge applications, TELUS Private Wireless Networks (PWN) are there to build the foundation for their IoT digital transformation with connected devices and data security.
CHALLENGE
Rising demands call for next-generation networks
As connectivity needs surge and costs continue to climb, organizations are running into barriers that slow innovation, increase risk, and put productivity at stake:
Rising number of devices
The number of connected devices is expected to double by 2030, creating mounting strain on legacy networks and IT resources.

Network limits
Wi-Fi alone cannot meet the demands of IoT, automation, and mobile assets due to power constraints, unlicensed spectrum and limited support for moving devices.

SOLUTION OVERVIEW
Your network. Your data. Your control.
TELUS Private Wireless Networks combine carrier-grade licensed spectrum with dedicated infrastructure to deliver peak performance for your critical operations. Built for local survivability and data sovereignty, our PWN solutions ensure your applications and devices stay reliably connected while keeping your data completely under your control, all backed by TELUS network expertise.
PWN infrastructure key components
The foundation of every private wireless network is dedicated infrastructure that keeps your critical traffic secure, local and resilient.
Local network core
A dedicated 4G/5G network core deployed as enterprise-grade servers within your premises. It acts as the central control point for device authentication, connectivity, and data routing, ensuring critical traffic remains on-site for maximum performance, security, and resilience. Geo-redundant options are also available for added protection.
Radio Access Network (RAN)
Wireless infrastructure including towers, small cells and in-building solutions with carrier-grade spectrum for secure coverage across your needs.
Backhaul transport
Secure MPLS or SD-WAN connections integrate your local network with broader enterprise infrastructure for off-site traffic.
