Oceus’ expert network engineers work closely with each customer to define requirements that satisfy specific use cases, key performance indicators (KPIs), and outcomes so customer objectives are met. Due to the complexities of the technology, deploying a cellular-based mobile network and integrating it into existing infrastructure presents unique and different challenges from other wireless and networking installations. Here are steps Oceus undergoes to fully deploy and manage a private cellular network.

Design & Planning

• Site surveys assess the current infrastructure, including physical site, network connectivity, cabling infrastructure, backhaul and power requirements. Potential obstacles such as physical barriers or interference sources that may affect network deployment are identified.
• Spectrum analysis will determine options for private 5G networks available in any given location. This includes evaluating if licensed, unlicensed, or shared spectrum, determining suitable frequency bands for the deployment, if there are operators with available options that meet use cases and performance objectives, obtain the required permits, licenses, and frequency assignments from regulatory authorities, and ensure compliance with local regulations
• Network architecture takes into account coverage areas and capacity requirements, locations of base stations (small cells) to provide adequate coverage, capacity, and performance, as well as defining the network core, edge computing, and network slicing (if needed). Hardware and software options are determined, whether on-premise, cloud-based, or hybrid, with the right combination of factors to meet current needs and plans for future expansion.

Provisioning & Orchestration

• Install and configure equipment, deploy base stations, antennas, and other network equipment according to the planned architecture. Configure the network elements, including radio access network (RAN) components and core network elements. Test and optimize the network performance, ensuring proper coverage and capacity.
• Integrate the private 5G network with your existing IT infrastructure and systems. Enable seamless connectivity and data exchange between the private network and other networks or applications.
• Establish security measures to protect the private network from unauthorized access and potential threats. Implement encryption, authentication, and access control mechanisms. Consider network segmentation and isolation to enhance security.

Management & Monitoring

• Monitor and maintain the network with monitoring systems to continuously monitor the performance and health of the private 5G network. Regularly update and maintain the network infrastructure and software. Conduct periodic audits and security assessments to identify and address any vulnerabilities.

Oceus provides Field Service Representatives (FSR) to determine customer needs and offer recommendations, collaborating with colleagues and sharing information to ensure top-notch customer support and optimal network performance. FSRs support on-going customer tasks including on-site technical support, repairs, maintenance, and network testing.  Our FSRs ensure proper task management so that all work progresses according to the schedule.

Oceus provides a Risk Management Framework (RMF), a duplicate testing system to conduct complete security posture reviews of all networking appliances, security concentrators, firewalls, and other virtual machines.

Oceus will define the security baseline and provide the list of Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) and other security settings required for fielding. Oceus engineering staff will use the RMF to test the operational impacts of the STIG process and ensure the network remains usable throughout the process. Our engineering staff will validate and document required network changes and Methods of Procedure (MOPs) to update configuration data to the Solution baseline. Oceus will perform an initial STIG checklist review of all identified components to start a STIG validation report. This effort becomes the starting point of the STIG process.

Oceus creates a STIG baseline and begins applying the STIGs to patch all the Category (CAT) I vulnerabilities. Patches are applied, and Oceus proceeds to the CAT II and CAT III vulnerabilities. Oceus provides feedback on all outstanding CAT IIs and CAT IIIs not patched due to operational implications or if they hinder system operations. Oceus provides the customer sponsor with a STIG mitigation plan for all unpatched or open vulnerabilities to aid in answering the RMF checklist. Oceus will also provide input to the Customer Plan of Action and Milestones (PoAM) documentation.

Oceus develops custom tailored training courses that provide an overview of critical Oceus system components for customers who want to install, orchestrate, and manage their own private 5G networks. Operation and maintenance of those critical systems are taught through instructor-led training by Oceus’ technical deployment experts. Upon completion of the courses, attendees will receive the information necessary to understand system purpose, features, functionality, operation, and maintenance. Attendees will also learn how to perform basic troubleshooting of common problems and how to request next level support.
