Who it’s for
The site is for facilities, operations, and IT managers, business owners, and buyers. Many of them are new to private cellular networks. We explain technical terms in plain words and keep engineering detail in clearly marked places.
Who runs it
Private5G.com is operated by the team behind Waveform and RSRF. Waveform sells equipment, preconfigured networks, and supported deployments. RSRF delivers turnkey installed projects. Sina Khanifar edits the site.
Links to Waveform and RSRF support those businesses. The site has no ads, and no company pays to be listed.
How we check information
Every fact on an equipment, vendor, or deployment page comes from a named source, labelled by who published it. When no source states a detail, the page says so. The editorial policy explains the rules, including how we keep our own companies’ interests separate.
What this site is not
- It is not an independent marketplace. Our companies sell some of the products listed here, and we label them.
- It is not a Spectrum Access System (SAS), the service that approves CBRS radios before they transmit.
- It does not show live data about other users of the CBRS band.
- It does not replace a qualified radio engineer and installer for your site.
