Highway 9 Mobile Cloud
Highway 9 Mobile Cloud: Platform
Highway 9 Mobile Cloud is a cloud-based private 5G/LTE network for enterprises – a private mobile cloud – that tightly integrates with existing Wi-Fi and security tools/policies, as well as across mobile carriers. It offers everything needed to deploy private cellular connectivity, including a full set of cloud-based mobile services, a virtualized 5G core, and integration + telemetry with any third-party radio area network (RAN).
Highway 9 Mobile Cloud enables enterprise use cases such as extending mobile voice + data connectivity everywhere, updating (or replacing) a distributed antenna system (DAS), and ensuring resilient connectivity for key apps and edge AI workloads.

Highway 9 Mobile Cloud vs. Legacy Private 5G
Frequently Asked Questions
The Highway 9 Mobile Cloud is a comprehensive solution for enterprises to build, operate, and manage their own secure, high-performance private cellular networks. It consists of cloud-hosted network services, on-premises edge appliances, and a private 5G/LTE radio access network – all centrally controlled and monitored through a unified management interface.
Unlike Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet, the Highway 9 Mobile Cloud leverages private cellular technology to deliver truly wireless, mobile connectivity. This allows enterprises to extend their network reach and enable seamless roaming for assets and devices across large facilities, campuses, or distributed locations.
The cloud-managed architecture also simplifies deployment and operations compared to on-premises networking gear, providing centralized control, visibility, and policy enforcement.
The Highway 9 Mobile Cloud is comprised of three main elements:
1. Mobile Center: The cloud-hosted core network functions that provide connectivity, mobility management, and other services. This includes the control plane, user plane, and management capabilities.
2. Mobile Edge: On-premises or cloud-based network appliances that extend the Mobile Services to the local environment and connect end devices. The Mobile Edge handles tasks like traffic forwarding, security enforcement, and protocol translation.
3. Mobile Network: The private 5G/LTE radio access network that connects mobile assets, users, and IoT devices to the Mobile Edge. This wireless infrastructure is owned and operated by the enterprise.
