Wifinity Private 5G as a Service

Wi-Fi wherever your site needs it. Delivered over private 5G.

Small cells cover your whole site with your own 5G network. A Wifinity unit in each lodge, caravan or vehicle turns that signal into Wi-Fi that guests and staff already know how to use. We design, install and run all of it, with no upfront capital outlay.

The problem

Traditional fixed wireless was never built for sites like yours.

Trees, static caravans and sheer distance all work against it. Covering a large site the traditional way means more masts, an outdoor receiver and a Wi-Fi access point in every unit, and more visits to keep it all working.

  1. More masts, more poles, more to maintain

    Traditional fixed wireless uses small sectors, so a large site needs many radio locations, each with its own power, cabling and upkeep.

  2. Every unit is its own installation

    An external antenna, cabling and a separate Wi-Fi access point in each caravan or lodge, all pointed at a mast. Move the unit and someone has to come out and realign it.

  3. Connectivity is stuck to fixed points

    Put a bar in a field, a stage by the lake or a till in a food truck, and the network doesn’t follow. Staff devices end up relying on patchy public mobile.

The solution

Private 5G carries the network. Wi-Fi delivers the connection.

Small cells give the whole site blanket coverage from a standalone 5G core. Inside each location, a Wifinity unit turns that signal into ordinary Wi-Fi, so guests connect the way they always have. It connects every lodge and caravan, and whatever moves or pops up too: vehicles, bars, stages and events.

  • Further, and through the trees. Private 5G gives two to three times the coverage of traditional fixed wireless and copes far better with trees, caravans and other obstacles. So each cell covers more, with fewer masts and poles to install, power and look after, and less visual impact on the site.
  • One device per location, not two. Lodges, caravans, vehicles and pop-ups each get a single managed Wifinity unit, 5G in and Wi-Fi out, instead of an outdoor receiver plus a separate Wi-Fi access point, and nothing to point at a mast. The signal gets inside caravans too, so some need no external antenna at all. Move a unit and it reconnects.
  • One network for everything. Guest Wi-Fi, staff devices, smart TVs and IoT all run on the same private network, managed as one.

Features

Built for busy, outdoor sites.

Standalone 5G on licensed spectrum

A dedicated 5G core, not piggy-backed on 4G, on spectrum licensed to your site through Ofcom’s Shared Access framework.

Wi-Fi wherever you put it

A pop-up bar in a field, a stage, a food truck or a seasonal market is already inside the coverage. Card payments work from the moment it opens.

Clean handover across the site

Neighbouring cells are engineered so devices hand over cleanly as guests and staff move around a large, open site.

Connected teams, on any device

Cleaning and maintenance teams’ iPads, handhelds and phones connect over Wi-Fi from the Wifinity units across the site. No special handsets and no relying on patchy public mobile.

Starship guest experience

Our identity and access platform gives guests a branded sign-in with free and premium tiers. Online in a few clicks.

Monitored and managed for you

A purpose-built monitoring stack and our UK operations team catch issues before guests notice them, 24×7×365.

How it works

From a few questions to fully managed, in four steps.

  1. 1

    Predictive design

    You tell us about your site and every location that needs Wi-Fi. Our engineers model coverage over it and send you a design proposal with a ballpark cost.

  2. 2

    Design validation

    We survey the site to confirm the design on the ground, and handle the Ofcom Shared Access licence for you.

  3. 3

    Install

    Small cells go up on poles, and a Wifinity unit goes into each lodge, caravan or vehicle. We test coverage across the site.

  4. 4

    We run it

    Monitoring, support and field engineering as one managed service, with one partner accountable.

Step 1, up close

See the coverage before anything goes up.

Our engineers design your network in our coverage planner, over a map of your site. Move a small cell and the prediction redraws as you watch, so positions are agreed with you before anyone sets foot on site.

What you receive

A design proposal for your site.

How many small cells your site needs and where they go, how much of it they cover, and a ballpark cost. Our engineers prepare it for your site; it isn’t generated automatically.

FAQ

Questions we’re often asked.

Something not covered here? Tell us about your site and our team will pick it up.

What is private 5G?

A dedicated cellular network built for one organisation, rather than the public network everyone shares. It uses the same standards as consumer 5G, but the spectrum, hardware and software are dedicated to your site.

Do guests need 5G phones?

No. Guests connect over ordinary Wi-Fi. The Wifinity unit in each lodge, caravan or vehicle takes the 5G signal and broadcasts it as Wi-Fi, and outdoor units can provide Wi-Fi across open areas. Staff devices connect the same way, so any phone or tablet works.

What happens if we move a caravan or add a pop-up?

Nothing needs to change. Coverage spans the whole site, so there’s no antenna to realign and no cable to run. Wherever the unit lands, it reconnects.

Why is this possible now?

Since 2020, Ofcom’s Shared Access Licence framework has let businesses license mobile spectrum for their own sites, most significantly 400 MHz at 3.8–4.2 GHz. Well over a thousand licences have been issued. We handle the application for you.

Do we have to buy the equipment?

No. Private 5G as a Service bundles the infrastructure, software and support into an ongoing service, so there’s no large capital outlay on radios, core network or spectrum.

Is it right for every site?

It suits medium and large, outdoor-heavy sites best. Once our engineers have looked at your site, we recommend the right technology for it, and sometimes that’s a different approach.

Who looks after it once it’s running?

We do. Our UK operations team monitors the network 24×7×365, with ITIL-aligned support and field engineers for on-site fixes.
