5G/LTE, Private 5G/CBRS, Wi-Fi & Satellite — Engineered, Secured, and Proven
Wireless mobility keeps people, vehicles, sensors, and sites online—anywhere.
SolveForce delivers mobility as a complete system: public 5G/LTE, Private 5G/CBRS, Wi-Fi 6/6E/7, and LEO satellite rails tied to SD-WAN, Zero-Trust access, MDM/UEM, and evidence pipelines so every session, device, and change is measurable and auditable.

🎯 Outcomes We Optimize
- Always-on apps — engineered attach/roam, brownout steering, and dual-underlay failover (5G ↔ DIA/coax/satellite).
- Secure by default — device posture via MDM/UEM + EDR, ZTNA per-app, SASE for web/SaaS, NAC on LAN edges.
- Lower total cost — private APNs, plan pooling, roaming controls, SD-WAN path policies, and TEM/FinOps reporting.
- Evidence on demand — RSRP/RSRQ/SINR, attach times, QoS classes, routing/SD-WAN events, and change diffs streamed to SIEM/SOAR.

* Real-world rates depend on spectrum, signal quality, RF design, and plan.
** Last-mile/air interface latency; end-to-end depends on backhaul and path policy.

🧪 Acceptance Tests & Artifacts (we keep the receipts)
- RF: RSRP/RSRQ/SINR surveys, sector IDs, bandwidth/channelization, attach/roam timing.
- Throughput/Latency: controlled tests (iperf), jitter/loss under load, packet duplication/FEC effectiveness.
- SD-WAN: failover timer, per-app SLO enforcement, Anycast ingress.
- Security: MDM/UEM enrollment logs, EDR status, ZTNA admits/denies, SASE policy hits, WAF events.
- APN/IP: static IP assignment, IPsec proof, NAT mapping, routing traces.
- Continuity: branch/vehicle DR playbooks, snapshot/restore screenshots, Object-Lock backups.
Artifacts stream to /siem-soar for QBRs and audits.
🔒 Compliance Overlays
- HIPAA (mobile PHI), PCI DSS (mobile POS), NIST 800-53/171 / CMMC (public sector), CJIS (public safety), SOC 2 / ISO 27001 (continuous evidence).

🧰 Design Notes & Best Practices
- Engineer diversity (dual carriers, separate laterals/POPs, satellite tertiary).
- Use private APNs + IPsec to avoid CGNAT pitfalls and enable inbound ZTNA if needed.
- Prefer EAP-TLS/802.1X on Wi-Fi; plan antenna types/placement for cellular WANs.
- Turn on packet duplication for voice/video and critical control flows; set caps for cost.
- Track roaming with cost guardrails; alert on unusual APN usage.
- Keep SIM/eSIM inventory in asset DB; tie to user/vehicle/site and auto-reclaim.
- Run quarterly drills: link fail, APN cut, MDM wipe, ZTNA revoke, branch DR.
