📶 Mobile Connectivity

3G/4G/5G/6G Underlays, FWA, IoT/M2M—Fast, Diverse, Audit-Ready

Mobile Connectivity delivers business-grade WAN over cellular networks—as primary access where wires can’t reach, or as diverse backup to keep branches, pop-ups, vehicles, and IoT online.
SolveForce designs carrier-agnostic 3G/4G/5G/6G solutions with static IP/APN options, IPsec to hubs, SD-WAN steering, and MDM/UEM security—so mobility becomes a reliable underlay with measurable SLOs and audit-grade evidence.

Where this fits:
🌐 Access → Connectivity • 📡 Wireless → Fixed Wireless • 🛰️ Remote → Satellite Internet
🔀 Control → SD-WAN • 🛡️ Edge → SASE • 🔐 Per-app → ZTNA
🏗️ Private RAN → Private LTE / 5G • 📻 Shared Spectrum → CBRS

🧭 Service Options (What We Deliver)

• 5G / LTE for Branch/SD-WAN— enterprise-grade routers with dual SIMs, dual carriers, and sub-second failover. → SD-WAN
• 5G FWA (Fixed Wireless Access)— high-throughput last-mile where fiber is unavailable; extend with rooftop CPE + directional antennas. → Fixed Wireless
• Private LTE / 5G (On-Prem RAN)— campus mobility with CBRS or licensed spectrum; local breakout and QoS for OT/IoT. → Private LTE / 5G • CBRS
• IoT/M2M Fleets— modems or embedded modules for kiosks, POS, telematics, sensors; APN policy and pooled billing.

Handoffs: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or integrated SD-WAN CPE. Addressing: public static IP, private static IP over APN, or CGNAT (as required).

📐 Radio & Coverage Planning (Plain-English)

• Bands & tech— LTE (Cat-M1/Cat-4/6/12/18), 5G NSA/SA (low/mid/mmWave).
• Key RF metrics— RSRP (signal power), RSRQ (quality), SINR (cleanliness).
• Antennas— omnis for indoor pop-ups; directional/high-gain and rooftop mounts for FWA/edge; proper grounding & surge protection.
• Backhaul profiles— urban (mid-band 5G for throughput), suburban (LTE-A/5G low/mid), rural (LTE + high-gain antennas), remote (pair with Satellite if needed). → Satellite Internet

---

🔒 Security & Identity (Zero-Trust by Default)

• APN firewalling— private APN with policy (ingress/egress ACLs, DNS control).
• IPsec / GRE to hub— encrypt mobile underlays back to colo or cloud hub; deterministic path for apps.
• Per-app access— no flat VPNs; use ZTNA for users/admins, SASE for web/SaaS inspection. → ZTNA • SASE
• Device posture— require MDM/UEM enrollment, disk encryption, OS minimums, and EDR health before access. → MDM / UEM • EDR / MDR / XDR
• SIM lifecycle— eSIM/eUICC profiles, IMEI lock, SIM inventory, suspend/terminate playbooks.
• Secrets— no credentials in configs; pull from vault; short-lived tokens. → Secrets Management

🧰 Design Patterns (Pick Your Fit)

📊 SLO Guardrails (Targets You Can Measure)

Metric (p95)	Urban 5G (mid/mmWave)*	Suburban 5G/LTE	Rural LTE	Notes
Downlink throughput	150–1000+ Mb/s	50–300 Mb/s	10–100 Mb/s	Radio & plan dependent
Uplink throughput	30–150+ Mb/s	10–80 Mb/s	5–40 Mb/s	Antenna & band matter
One-way latency	10–25 ms	20–40 ms	30–60+ ms	5G SA lower than NSA
Jitter (one-way)	≤ 15% of latency	≤ 15%	≤ 20%	For voice/video SLOs
Availability (with dual carriers)	99.9–99.99%	99.9%	99.5–99.9%	SD-WAN failover helps

*mmWave yields the highest throughput but shorter range; design is site-specific.

We publish SLO dashboards and open carrier tickets on breach. → Circuit Monitoring • NOC Services

⚙️ Networking & Policy

• Static IPv4/IPv6over APN where required; avoid CGNAT for inbound services.
• QoS— prioritize real-time (voice/UC/telemetry); police backup/patch flows.
• DNS & split-tunnel— steer SaaS/web to SASE; private apps via IPsec/ZTNA.
• Roaming & geo— lock SIMs to allowed regions; avoid surprise charges.

---

🔎 Observability & Evidence

• Telemetry— signal (RSRP/RSRQ/SINR), bearer state, throughput, latency/jitter/loss, SIM/IMEI events.
• Logs to SIEM— APN firewall decisions, tunnel status, auth attempts; link incidents and carrier cases. → SIEM / SOAR
• Runbooks— antenna realignment, carrier failover, SIM swap, backhaul migration; SOAR automates rollback/escalation.

---

💵 Commercials (No Surprises)

• Data plans— pooled vs per-SIM; throttling vs overage; priority tiers for enterprise.
• Static IP/APN— monthly charge per SIM; private APN/firewall options.
• Hardware— branch routers/CPE, directional antennas, mounts/surge; rugged SKUs for vehicles.
• Roaming— regional vs global; lock profiles to avoid roaming costs; eUICC for carrier swaps.
• Term— month-to-month to 36-month; expedites for events/pop-ups.

🧪 Turn-Up & Acceptance

1) Site survey — coverage, bands, RSRP/RSRQ/SINR, mounting, power/ground.
2) Install — CPE/antennas; cabling/surge; APN/static IP; IPsec to hub; SD-WAN join.
3) Baseline — throughput/latency/jitter tests; failover drills; save “as-builts”.
4) Monitor — add to NOC & SLO dashboards; carrier escalation trees. → NOC Services

Artifacts (test reports, SLO charts, carrier cases) export to SIEM for audits. → SIEM / SOAR

Key terms in plain language

Open a term for a concise explanation of language used on this page.

💡Fiber Internet

Internet delivered through strands of glass using light. Fiber commonly supports high capacity, low latency, and strong upload performance, but availability must be confirmed for the exact address.

⏱️Latency

The time it takes data to travel between two points. Lower latency improves voice, video meetings, cloud applications, gaming, and other real-time services.

🔀SD-WAN

Software-defined wide area networking. It manages multiple connections and chooses paths based on application needs, performance, and policy to improve resilience and control.

🔐VPN

A virtual private network creates an encrypted connection across another network, commonly allowing remote users or offices to access private resources securely.

🧰Software as a Service (SaaS)

Software accessed as an online service instead of being installed and maintained entirely on the customer’s own computers or servers.

🛡️Cybersecurity

The practices and controls used to protect identities, devices, networks, applications, and data from unauthorized access, disruption, or manipulation.

🚫Zero Trust

A security model that does not automatically trust a user or device because of its location. Access is continuously verified and limited to what is necessary.

🧭SASE

Secure Access Service Edge combines networking and security capabilities in a cloud-delivered architecture so users and locations can receive consistent policy wherever they connect.
