The company believes that it could be a low-cost solution for businesses or individuals who want a private cellular network.<\/p>\n<p>A Mobile Private Network (MPN) is exactly what it sounds like\u2014private and portable internet based on mobile 4G or 5G connectivity. Vodafone\u2019s prototype is\u00a0<em>basically<\/em> an internet router, but it allows you to build an independent 5G network with reserved coverage. In a business environment, this is a secure and reliable alternative to Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"PAu_45Yn4cA\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/PAu_45Yn4cA\/hqdefault.jpg');\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"lty-playbtn\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"lyt-visually-hidden\">Play Video<\/span><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n<p>But Vodafone believes that MPNs should be utilized in homes, not just businesses. It\u2019s an interesting theory; instead of using a VPN to safely access a restaurant\u2019s Wi-Fi, you could simply use an MPN. Or, if a certain part of your home has terrible cellular coverage, you could use this device as a range extender for the public 5G network.<\/p>\n<p>To be clear, the average business doesn\u2019t need a private cellular network. It\u2019s the kinda thing that makes more sense in an extremely large building or campus. So, the idea that this <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> will be useful to <em>consumers<\/em> is probably a stretch\u2014although I\u2019m sure that tinkerers and techies are interested. (After all, anyone can build this thing using a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.canakit.com\/raspberry-pi-4-2gb.html?cid=usd&amp;src=raspberrypi\">Pi 4<\/a> and a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdsupply.com\/fairwaves\/xtrx\">Lime SDR XTRX<\/a> board.)<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re not sure why Vodaphone is showing off this prototype instead of a finished product. But the company seems excited by this idea, and it\u2019s searching for partners who are interested in what could be a growing MPN market.<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=14d03d76e0a6285761e58439513dfd19&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vodafone.com%2Fnews%2Ftechnology%2Fvodafone-unveils-prototype-5g-network-built-raspberry-pi-computer&amp;cuid=xid:{xid}&amp;___trxnet=vg\">Vodafone<\/a> via <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lightreading.com\/private-networks\/vodafone-showcases-private-5g-network-prototype-built-on-raspberry-pi\/d\/d-id\/783331\">Light Reading<\/a><\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
