“Today’s workforce is more mobile then ever; Private Network takes our enterprise customers’ ability to communicate over a secure network to the next level by recognizing their wireless devices on the network - no matter where on the network their employees or their devices are located,” said Rob Miller, vice president-marketing for Verizon Wireless. “The Verizon Wireless Private Network gives customers the management tool they need to run their businesses for optimum efficiency and security.”
Verizon Wireless Private Network lets customers extend their local area network (LAN) to their wireless devices. Companies using this solution can create a more secure and fault tolerant link between their LAN and their wireless devices.

Enterprise customers can also take advantage of the following benefits of the Verizon Wireless Private Network:
- Support for enterprise-owned private or public IP address assignment
- Traffic segregation, which helps reduce the risk that exists on unprotected public networks, and access through public gateway
- Leverage for current Verizon Wireless business-to-business connectivity capability
