Managing radio-based private networks
Disclosed are various embodiments for managing radio-based private networks. In one embodiment, a request is received from an organization for a provider to provision a radio-based private network to cover a site of the organization. Equipment is preconfigured to implement the radio-based private network before shipping the equipment to the organization. A core network is provisioned for the organization.
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving, by at least one computing device, a request from an organization for a provider to provision a radio-based private network and an associated core network to cover a site of the organization;
determining, by the at least one computing device, an arrangement of one or more cells to cover the site;
causing, by the at least one computing device, cell equipment to be preconfigured to implement the one or more cells before shipping the cell equipment to the organization; and
provisioning, by the at least one computing device, the associated core network for the organization.
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the cell equipment comprises a computer server.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the associated core network is provisioned on premises of the organization.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the associated core network is provisioned in a provider substrate extension of a cloud provider network.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining to add an additional cell to the radio-based private network; and
causing additional cell equipment to be preconfigured to implement the additional cell before shipping the additional cell equipment to the organization.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising reserving frequency spectrum for the one or more cells via a spectrum reservation service.
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
implementing a first quality-of-service level on the radio-based private network for a first device type; and
implementing a second quality-of-service level on the radio-based private network for a second device type.
8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising probing, by the at least one computing device, an existing private network of the organization to determine at least one requirement for the radio-based private network, wherein the least one requirement for the radio-based private network comprises an initial threshold for at least one performance metric for the radio-based private network.
9. A system, comprising:
at least one computing device configured to at least:
receive a request from an organization for a provider to provision a radio-based private network and an associated core network to cover a site of the organization;
cause cell equipment to be preconfigured to implement one or more cells before shipping the cell equipment to the organization; and
provision the associated core network for the organization.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the at least one computing device is further configured to determine an arrangement of the one or more cells to cover the site.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the at least one computing device is further configured to at least scale a quantity of resources allocated to the associated core network based at least in part on at least one of: a utilization metric or a latency metric.
12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the at least one computing device is further configured to at least implement differentiated quality-of-service levels in the radio-based private network.
13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the at least one computing device is configured to at least probe an existing private network of the organization to determine at least one requirement for the radio-based private network, wherein the least one requirement for the radio-based private network comprises an initial threshold for at least one performance metric for the radio-based private network.
14. A system, comprising:
at least one computing device configured to at least:
receive a request from an organization for a provider to provision a radio-based private network to cover a site of the organization;
cause equipment to be preconfigured to implement the radio-based private network before shipping the equipment to the organization; and
provision a core network for the organization.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the at least one computing device is further configured to at least reserve a spectrum assignment for the radio-based private network with a spectrum reservation service.
16. The system of claim 14 , wherein the at least one computing device is further configured to at least determine an arrangement of the equipment to cover the site.
17. The system of claim 14 , wherein the at least one computing device is further configured to at least provision one or more network slices on the radio-based private network to provide differentiated quality-of-service.
18. The system of claim 14 , wherein at least a portion of the core network is provisioned in a cloud provider network.
19. The system of claim 14 , wherein at least a portion of the core network is provisioned in a server on premises of the organization.
20. The system of claim 14 , wherein the equipment comprises a computer server.
