Private Networks Without Complexity: Enabling VoLTE, VoWiFi, and Data with Summa Networks
Private LTE and 5G networks are transforming the way industries operate. From mining and energy to transportation and manufacturing, organizations are turning to private networks for secure, high-performance connectivity tailored to their specific needs.
Most of these deployments begin with one goal in mind: reliable data connectivity. And that makes sense — data is the backbone of smart devices, sensors, automation systems and enterprise applications.
But there’s one crucial component that often gets left out: voice.
Services like VoLTE and VoWiFi are essential for many private network use cases. Field operations, emergency communication, control rooms, and safety-critical teams still rely on high-quality, low-latency voice. The challenge? Enabling voice services is much more complex than enabling data.
Unlike data-only deployments, voice requires an IMS architecture — including elements like HSS, PCRF, and others — which are often bundled into large, monolithic solutions designed for national-scale networks. These platforms tend to be expensive, rigid, and resource-intensive, making them impractical for the more contained, agile nature of private networks.
At Summa Networks, we approach things differently.
Our modular core network solution makes it possible to enable VoLTE, VoWiFi, and data in private networks without the usual complexity. Operators and enterprises can choose exactly what they need — for example, HSS and PCRF — without being forced to buy or deploy an entire IMS suite. All components are telecom-certified, interworking-ready, and easily integrated with the existing environment.
This approach offers the best of both worlds: the simplicity and control expected from a private network, with the functionality and reliability required for mission-critical communications. And because our software is modular, you can start small and scale as needed — no vendor lock-in, no unnecessary features, no surprises.
Whether you’re building a private LTE network for an industrial site or deploying 5G for smart infrastructure, voice matters. And with Summa Networks, enabling it doesn’t have to be complicated.
Private networks, made simple — with voice, data, and flexibility built in.
