According to Fester, security is a critical component of any network now. “If you look at the amount of cyber attacks or malicious actors that are looking to expose the vulnerabilities on your network, private LTE guards against these incredibly well in the sense that you need a SIM card that is provisioned on the network to be able to access the network.
