Empowering Secure, Intelligent, and Interoperable Private Networks Private LTE and 5G networks are transforming industries, but success depends on secure devices, seamlessinteroperability, and trusted data. GSMA Industry Services provide the global frameworks and intelligenceneeded to build, manage, and scale private networks with confidence. 1.The Private Network OpportunityFrom manufacturing and logistics to energy and healthcare, enterprises are adopting private networks to gain control, performance, and security. Yet, with thousands of devices connecting across multiple vendors andtechnologies, ensuring compatibility, visibility, and compliance has never been more critical. GSMA Industry Serviceshelp enterprises, operators, and integrators:Identify and authorise devices before connection. Ensureinteroperability between devices and networks.Enable seamless activation of services.Protect data sovereignty and ensure trusted, efficient operations. 2.A Connected Ecosystem of Trust Building a private network is not just about deploying radios and cores. It’s about knowing exactly whatconnects, how it behaves, and whether it belongs there. GSMA’s ecosystem of services gives every stakeholderthe confidence to design, deploy, and operate their private network safely and efficiently. Device Attribute Data (Device Database & Device Map)Provides the most authoritative, TAC-based device intelligence in the industry, sourced from official TAC data and enriched with more than 150 attributes.It enables enterprises and private network providers to identify, authorise, and optimise every connected device, ensuring full visibility, control, and security across the network. Device CompatibilityConfirms that each device is technically capable of operating on the specific frequencies, technologies, and featuresof a private network,before deployment.This is particularly important to ensure seamlessconnectivity if you’re allowing people to bring their own devices on to your network. Network Settings Exchange (NSX)A secure, centralised platform connecting over 850 mobile operators and the top 10 device manufacturers (OEMs) worldwide. By enabling easy and open communication between these two communities, NSX helpsensure seamless connectivity, reliable service delivery, and an optimal customer experience across mobiledevices. Entitlements Enables the secure, remote activation of operator services such as VoLTE, Wi-Fi Calling, and eSIM features. Forprivate network operators, this ensures devices can seamlessly access essential services across hybrid orshared environments.
