LG Private 5G.
Your network, your rules.
Private 5G is not just a network decision — it is a long-term operational decision. Revells delivers LG's carrier-grade cellular stack inside your four walls: core, virtualized RAN, management, fronthaul and radios, as one end-to-end solution under a single pane of glass and a single warranty.
At a glance
Overview
One stack.
Not five vendors.
Most private wireless projects stall in integration. LG Private 5G ships as a complete system — virtualized core, virtualized RAN, the PTMS management platform, fronthaul multiplexing and the radio family — designed together and supported as one. Revells scopes the site, designs the RF, and stands behind the result.
The architecture is O-RAN 7.2x split and 3GPP Release 16 NR standalone, so it stays open to the wider ecosystem while still arriving as a single, supportable product. It runs entirely on your premises, with redundancy options where downtime is not acceptable, and it scales from a compact all-in-one platform up to a multi-site industrial network without changing the management model.
Why LG
Real wireless depth behind it.
When private wireless becomes part of critical operations, the company behind the network matters as much as the network. LG has spent years building the technology modern cellular runs on — and has run it in its own plants before selling it to yours.

3 sites
Validated in production: Chungbuk smart factory, Incheon logistics centre, Seoul university hospital.
LG also brings experience from its own advanced manufacturing operations, including the Tennessee smart factory, where automation, connected systems and real-time operations make the demands on an enterprise network unambiguous. That is the difference between a vendor that has specified a private network and one that has had to live with it.
Where it fits
Built for demanding environments.
The same four problems keep appearing in different buildings: things that move, too many devices in one place, coverage that has to hold up outdoors, and traffic that cannot be allowed to fail. Private 5G is the answer where Wi-Fi runs out of room.
Manufacturing
AMRs and AGVs that cannot tolerate a roaming gap, machine-vision inspection pushing constant uplink, and torque tools and sensors that have to be deterministic. Deterministic QoS per device class keeps production traffic ahead of everything else.
Warehouse & Logistics
High-bay racking wrecks Wi-Fi coverage plans, and scanner dead zones cost real throughput. One cellular layer covers the racks, the dock doors and the yard, so a handheld does not change networks between pick and load.
Ports & Terminals
Remote crane control, autonomous terminal tractors and reefer telemetry over open, weather-exposed acreage. Outdoor RUs at up to 40 W carry coverage across the yard without a forest of access points.
Healthcare Campuses
Telemetry, nurse-call, imaging transfer and asset tracking on a network that stays inside the building. On-premise core means patient data never traverses a carrier network, and slicing separates clinical traffic from guest and facilities use.
Airports & Transportation
Ramp and baggage operations, ground-support vehicle tracking and body-worn comms across terminals and apron. Coverage continuity matters more than peak speed when a vehicle crosses from indoors to airside.
Campus & Research
Multi-building estates where coverage has to follow people and vehicles outdoors between buildings, plus research groups that need a private, instrumentable 5G testbed they actually control.
Architecture
How it works.
Four layers, all on your premises. The core and management run as software on standard servers. The DU handles radio processing. The FHM distributes fronthaul so coverage can grow across the site. The radios put RF where the work happens.

Models
Choose your configuration.
Two platforms, one management model. Start compact and grow, or start at scale.
UltraSlim
Compact all-in-one.
vRAN, vCore, PTMS and an optional fronthaul multiplexer consolidated into one platform. Built for smaller sites, pilots, space-constrained rooms, and temporary or mobile deployments where footprint and speed of setup decide the project. Operates where GPS is unavailable.
UltraMAX
Scalable and redundant.
A modular, virtualized platform for medium-to-large sites needing broad coverage, higher capacity, centralized control and room to grow. Optional vCore redundancy for high availability, with scalable vRAN, fronthaul and radio expansion.

Radios & fronthaul
Coverage is a design decision.
The radio unit is what actually puts coverage where machines and people work, so RU selection shapes the whole site design. Choose indoor or outdoor first, then confirm the band, then decide whether you need antenna placement flexibility.
| RU type | Deployment | Band | Bandwidth | MIMO | Power | Antenna | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type 1 | Indoor | n79 | 100 MHz | 4T4R · 4x4 | 24 dBm | Built-in | Indoor coverage with built-in antenna simplicity |
| Type 2 | Indoor | n48 / n79 | 40 / 100 MHz | 4T4R · 4x4 | 24 dBm | External | Indoor projects needing antenna placement flexibility |
| Type 3 | Outdoor | n79 | 100 MHz | 4T4R · 4x4 | 1 W | External | Yards, campuses, ports and open areas needing reach |
| Type 4 | Outdoor | n48 | 40 MHz | 4T4R · 4x4 | 1 W | External | Outdoor n48 deployments and open-area coverage |
Fronthaul Multiplexer (FHM)
Most deployments do not stay in one coverage zone. The FHM sits between the DU and the radios so a single DU-side fronthaul link can feed multiple O-RUs — giving coverage a clean way to expand across indoor zones, outdoor areas and separate buildings without the fronthaul layer becoming unmanageable as the project grows.

Revells does the RF design as part of scoping — send us a site plan and we will come back with a radio layout, not a parts list.
FAQ
Common questions.
Anything not covered here, a Revells engineer will answer directly.
Does this replace our Wi-Fi?
No. Private 5G is the right network for mission-critical requirements — mobility, density, outdoor coverage and traffic that cannot fail. Wi-Fi stays sensible for general office and guest use. The two run alongside each other, and LG Private 5G is designed to complement existing infrastructure rather than displace it.
Where does our data go?
Nowhere. The core runs on your premises, so subscriber and operational traffic never traverses a carrier network. Isolated deployment models are supported where tighter control is essential.
What does it cost to run?
There are no annual license costs and no core usage charges. That is the main reason TCO on LG Private 5G compares favourably with subscription-priced alternatives over an infrastructure lifetime.
How hard is it to deploy?
Because core, RAN, management, fronthaul and radios ship as one designed-together system, the integration work that usually dominates these projects largely disappears. UltraSlim in particular is built for fast setup with minimal supporting infrastructure.
Can we start small?
Yes — a POC on UltraSlim is the normal starting point. The management model does not change when you move to UltraMAX, so what you learn in the pilot carries into production.
Is it open, or are we locked in?
The architecture is 3GPP Release 16 and O-RAN 7.2x split with Open Fronthaul C/U/S/M planes, and there is a software upgrade path to future 3GPP releases. You get standards alignment and a single supportable product at the same time.
