## What is Private LTE?

Private LTE networks are becoming more and more popular due to the reduced complexity and operational costs. Running networks privately allows for **improved** **quality of service**, **lower latency,** and **better data security**. It enables full control over the data flow and can be setup in a way that your data won't leave your servers or physical site.

Recently, the US opened a 150 MHz band for shared use, allowing companies to deploy private networks without the need to license spectrum. This shared spectrum is referred to as the **Citizens Broadband Radio Service** or **CBRS**.
