Private networks, at a high level, mean leveraging a dedicated network that lies outside of public networks. Typically, the reason to use private networks falls under security and bandwidth purposes.

Private networks offer a new mode of enterprise wireless connectivity. They offer unique capabilities that alternative technologies, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and ethernet, cannot deliver. Only connected devices authorized within a private network are allowed to connect to the network. With private networks or non-public networks, performance is higher in data management capacity, quality of service, reliability, security, latency, and flexibility of coverage.

Also with private networks, these solutions are purpose-built to an organization's requirements outside of a traditional network through service providers.
