Moso Networks has taken a bold step towards simplifying private 5G systems. Historically, the complexity involved in private 5G, from unfamiliar hardware to intricate RF designs, has deterred many enterprises from implementing these versatile networks. Moso Networks, led by President and co-founder Stephen Leotis, aims to transform this perception.
Leotis noted the industry’s tendency to shy away from 5G due to its intimidating complexity. “We started this company because we saw this problem where private 5G is too complicated. We needed to make it a lot simpler,” he emphasized. By collaborating with system integrators and service providers, Moso has made strides in shifting the perception of 5G from a daunting technology to an accessible innovation.
In the growing competitive landscape, Moso stands out by reducing the complexity of the 5G stack. Leotis stressed the ease with which businesses can now adopt private 5G, reducing reliance on wired connections and leveraging wireless capabilities. Through a crucial partnership with Qualcomm, Moso provides SoC-based radios that are easy to install. “We call them all-in-one radios. They’re very similar to Wi-Fi access points in their deployment,” he explained.
Moso’s software, the Intelligent Management Platform (IMP), further simplifies the administration of private 5G networks. It offers intuitive control over network operations, ensuring uptime and enhancing security. Moreover, the company’s strategy embraces collaborations within the industry. Moso partners with firms like Druid, providing pre-integrated solutions that allow rapid deployment.
Leotis sees vast potential across various sectors including utilities, logistics, and education, among others. Private 5G is poised to play a significant role in the future of edge AI applications, requiring high performance metrics such as low latency and high throughput. These characteristics make private 5G appealing for industries like agriculture and manufacturing where real-time data processing is critical.
Moso’s name, inspired by the fast-growing mōsō bamboo, symbolizes their vision. Like bamboo’s interconnected root system, their approach to 5G highlights connectivity and interdependence. This vision embraces the foundational nature of 5G, facilitating seamless interactions across complex technological landscapes.
With its roots firmly placed in simplicity and collaboration, Moso Networks is redefining the way enterprises perceive and implement private 5G, turning a once daunting task into a manageable and strategic infrastructure choice.
