Simplifying Private 5G: The Backbone of Modern Industry

As connectivity becomes essential across industries, private 5G networks are rapidly becoming the backbone for modern operations. However, traditional private 5G deployments often involve complex setups, long deployment cycles, and significant investment. That's the challenge Canoga Perkins is solving with SyncMetra® Manager (SMM). 

SMM offers a smart, simple way to manage private wireless networks. It improves operational efficiency and closes the latency gap between network performance and real-time demands. 

Your Central Hub for Private 5G 

SMM is a centralized software platform that simplifies how private 5G networks are set up, managed, monitored, and optimized. Think of it as the control center for your private 5G network, designed to make complex technology accessible and user-friendly. Just like a smart home app helps you manage lights and locks from one place, SMM gives IT teams full control and visibility over their network without requiring deep technical expertise. It brings the ease of Wi-Fi management to the enterprise 5G industry. 

By consolidating control and streamlining configuration, SMM dramatically cuts the time it takes to get a private 5G network up and running. This simplicity is already making an impact across various industries: 

• Smart Factories: SMM enables Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) between robotic arms, CNC machines, and industrial sensors. These machines now respond instantly, free from the constraints of wired connections and the latency gaps that can delay coordination. 

• AI-Driven Environments: SMM keeps data flowing in sync across sensors and inference engines, supporting faster, more accurate decisions. 

• AR/VR Training Centers: SMM ensures that multiple users can interact in real-time without experiencing lag or connection drops. IT teams can focus on content delivery rather than network troubleshooting. 

  
  

Overcoming Traditional 5G Hurdles 

Traditional private 5G networks come with a long list of technical challenges, including complex hardware, manual setup, and heavy reliance on telecom professionals. SMM overcomes these challenges by removing complexity and directly addressing the most common issues. 

At its core, SMM offers deterministic networking, where the network precisely knows when and where data needs to arrive. This delivers ultra-reliable, low-latency communications that close the latency gap and guarantees Quality of Service (QoS). With its visual setup tools, managing a private 5G network becomes manageable for IT teams without needing to rely on external telecom personnel. What once took weeks to configure can now be done in a fraction of the time. During periods of high network usage, SMM configures Virtual Circuits (VCs) to use the highest Class of Service, ensuring that high-priority traffic is forwarded first, even during periods of high network usage. This guarantees that critical traffic gets through under congestion. This ensures it gets through even when there is a lot of traffic. 

Unmatched Reliability and Flexibility 

SMM works with FRER (Frame Replication and Elimination for Reliability), a crucial feature that protects important data by sending duplicates across separate network paths. If one path fails, the duplicate ensures data still arrives on time, while the system automatically discards redundant copies. SMM supports FRER by managing its configuration, monitoring redundant paths, and alerting teams if something requires attention. This reduces manual troubleshooting and ensures network reliability with minimal effort and operational overhead. 

SMM offers a unique combination of reliability and flexibility, combining carrier-grade reliability with the agility of cloud-based management. Its software-defined and adaptable nature means it can evolve as your needs change, without requiring hardware replacement. For deterministic performance, built-in support for FRER and Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) delivers real-time precision. Most importantly, its open APIs allow it to integrate seamlessly with existing enterprise systems, meaning everything is managed in one place. This gives teams the visibility and control they need without constantly switching between tools. 

Simplifying Management for IT Teams 

Setting up a private 5G network typically requires deep knowledge of telecom systems. One of SMM’s most impactful benefits is how it eliminates this barrier, enabling IT teams to manage networks using templates and intuitive visual tools that streamline setup. Teams can configure networks, apply policies, and update systems remotely. SMM shifts private 5G deployment from what used to be a complex technical endeavor to a routine function that shortens setup time, reduces manual work, and improves overall performance efficiency. In short, it turns a previously complex task into a manageable one, saving time and driving operational efficiency. 

Powering Next-Gen Connectivity Today 

SMM is already powering next-generation connectivity across a range of industries: 

• Industrial Automation: It supports autonomous guided vehicles, robotics, and advanced machine tools, all of which rely on deterministic connectivity. 

• AI-Driven Enterprises: It enables predictive maintenance platforms, real-time analytics engines, and scalable edge inference. 

• AR/VR Environments: It delivers smooth, immersive experience used in training, simulations, and operations across different industries. 

  
  

It's also a powerful solution for system integrators, Value Added Resellers (VARs), and mobile solution providers who want to offer turnkey private 5G solutions. 

SyncMetra Manager is more than just a network tool; it’s the foundation for next-gen innovation. By eliminating complexity, improving operational efficiency, and bridging the latency gap, SMM keeps networks performing at their most efficient and empowers businesses to take full control of their connectivity future.
