As connected technology gains an increasing foothold in a wide variety of business sectors and applications, modern enterprise operations have come to depend on wireless networks more than ever before. Automation, robotics, real-time data, and connected devices require enterprise connectivity with performance and reliability that “best-effort” Wi‑Fi often can’t deliver.
That’s why Sparro has partnered with Ericsson to deliver Enterprise Private 5G™ (EP5G), Private 5G Compact, and the Radio Dot System to organizations across diverse industries. This partnership combines Ericsson’s private 5G technology with Sparro’s expertise in systems integration to design and deploy solutions that solve business challenges and enable improved performance. Together, these solutions eliminate the complexity of private networks, making advanced enterprise connectivity practical, scalable, and future-ready.
Ericsson Private 5G Compact: Intelligent connectivity for a solution that ‘just works’
Ericsson Private 5G Compact is an end-to-end private cellular network solution that removes the complexities of building private networks. Compact delivers scalability, plug-and-play deployment, a familiar Wi-Fi-like experience with the performance of cellular, and a pathway for simplified IT infrastructure integration – all through a single pane of glass.
Key Features
- Easy network deployment with plug-and-play cellular access points and zero-touch onboarding of Ericsson routers.
- End-to-end security, including SIM-based slicing, traffic prioritization, and unified policy management.
- Powerful IT-friendly tools to integrate EP5G Compact with the existing enterprise LAN.
Business Advantages
- Single provider for easier deployment and seamless visibility across the network.
- Simplified integrations – removes the complexities of building private networks.
- Improved connectivity for business-critical applications and devices – solves coverage, mobility, security, and reliability challenges where “best-effort” Wi-Fi networks fall short.

Ericsson Radio Dot System: High-performance indoor small‑cells for 4G & 5G
The Ericsson Radio Dot System is a compact, modular indoor radio solution that brings high-capacity 4G and 5G coverage into buildings faster and more cost-effectively than traditional DAS or Wi-Fi. As the indoor access layer of the EP5G solution, it ensures seamless handover from outdoor to indoor environments, supporting both private and multi-operator deployments.
Key Features
- Compact indoor radios powered via standard CAT6 (PoE++) cabling.
- Full software parity with Ericsson macro RAN: VoLTE, carrier aggregation, and more.
- Multi-operator, multi-band capable; integrates with EP5G and public networks.
Business Advantages
- Over 50% lower CAPEX & TCO and 2x faster deployment with simplified cabling and infrastructure.
- Up to 70% less power consumption and 80% less footprint vs. legacy/Active DAS.
- Scalable: easily expand coverage, add spectrum, or host new operators.
- Reduced footprint and simplified deployment using PoE and standard cabling.

Proof at Scale
The impact of this partnership is not just theoretical. At the recent WM Phoenix Open, Sparro and Ericsson deployed a private 5G network that supported the largest zero-waste sporting event in the world. The network delivered enhanced operational connectivity across the venue, clearly demonstrating how private 5G solutions scale to address real-world challenges.
The Bottom Line for Enterprise Leaders
Previously, business IT leaders often viewed private 5G as complex, costly, and experimental, making it unworkable for many enterprises to implement. With Sparro and Ericsson, it becomes practical, affordable, and enterprise-ready. Organizations gain secure, future-proof networks that support critical business outcomes without the headaches of legacy solutions.
