In today’s fast-evolving digital landscape, private wireless networks are vital in driving innovation and growth across industries. Ericsson, a global leader in telecommunications, simplifies the deployment of mission-critical private wireless networks. The ZT-ZTNA solution answers the industry’s call for scalable adoption of private cellular networks. This capability, originally available in Mobile Network Operator (MNO) networks and now extended by OneLayer to private networks, ensures seamless device and SIM onboarding without manual efforts. It ensures that only authorized devices connect to the network once a SIM is introduced into a device, streamlining the process of SIM provisioning, activation, and fingerprinting of the device, ensuring effective device onboarding.
“Our collaboration with Ericsson is pivotal for advancing device visibility, management, and security in modern private networks. By incorporating ZT-ZTNA, we empower enterprises to seamlessly manage device access and secure against evolving threats,” said Dave Mor, CEO of OneLayer. “This solution enables businesses, such as utilities, to deliver better service to millions of customers and achieve sustainability goals for customers and stakeholders, without compromising on key objectives and defense strategies.”
The integration bridges traditional enterprise network management and security systems with modern cellular networks, offering tangible business benefits such as increased growth, improved adoption rates, and enhanced network value. By automating device and SIM onboarding processes at scale, ZT-ZTNA facilitates task delegation among various teams, reducing bottlenecks, enabling rapid device onboarding, and expanding the range of use cases running over private networks. This approach allows enterprises to maximize the use of their networks and achieve higher ROI from their private cellular networks.
