What is the key concept behind the Mobile Private Network Hybrid offer?
The core principle is to provide fully isolated and secure data flows on your campus while using the operator’s radio coverage.
The approach is pragmatic: rather than building a private network from scratch (which can be complex and costly), the company uses Orange’s access network. This network may already exist or may be extended with additional coverage (extra indoor or outdoor antennas) to perfectly match your operational area.
Within this global traffic flow, we create a strictly isolated channel for your data. You benefit from optimal connectivity while your business communications remain invisible and inaccessible from outside.
How can a high level of security be guaranteed if data passes through the operator’s network?
This is precisely the challenge addressed by hybrid private 5G architecture: ensuring strict separation. Even though the signal passes through our antennas, data processing remains fully segregated.
We combine two major technological levers to ensure this security:
Network Slicing
This technology allows us to configure a secure slice (a virtual network segment) dedicated specifically to the company. This logical partitioning ensures that your critical data flows never mix with public traffic.
Local Breakout (via a local UPF)
We deploy a core network component directly on your campus. This allows data to remain on-site: it is intercepted locally and routed to your internal servers without ever reaching the national core network. The isolation is therefore both logical and physical.
What is the advantage of using operator coverage rather than deploying a fully dedicated network?
The advantage lies in flexibility and reliability. By choosing hybrid private 5G, you benefit from Orange’s expertise: we use our licensed spectrum and engineering capabilities to provide the best possible coverage for your operational area (through the existing macro network or via dedicated coverage densification).
This ensures robust 4G/5G connectivity maintained by our experts, while guaranteeing that your sensitive data flows remain isolated. The operator manages the radio infrastructure, while the data usage remains fully private.
For what types of use cases is this “hybrid security” essential?
This solution is designed for critical environments where data security and local performance are essential.
Ports and port areas
To connect cranes, remotely operated port equipment, or mobile personnel across very large operational areas (often extended by our teams), while keeping logistics data strictly isolated.
Industry
To secure control data for production lines or video analytics (Computer Vision), ensuring that manufacturing secrets remain confined within the factory.
Healthcare
For hospitals wishing to connect operating rooms or medical imaging systems while ensuring that patient data never leaves the facility.
What is Orange’s role in this ecosystem?
We act as the guarantor of the entire security chain. Our offer is fully operated by Orange. We provide the appropriate coverage (public or extended), deploy the local core network to ensure data isolation, and supervise the integrity of the data flows.
The customer therefore benefits from the industrial strength of an operator-grade network combined with the security level of a dedicated private network.
