Expeto uniquely enables enterprise customers to converge their own private or public mobile network resources across multiple locations—yet manage them as one global corporate WAN. Expeto offers a single point of control with consistency and real-time management of all connected assets and policies. Expeto’s patented platform is the only enterprise-first solution that offers the functionality of carrier grade connectivity with the ease of use of Wi-Fi to deliver meaningful outcomes.
Why Expeto?
Mission-critical enterprise applications (for example, SCADA for energy utilities, Autonomous Vehicles, and industrial drones/robots) often require mobile networking far beyond enterprise facilities that might be served by a conventional Private Mobile Network (PMN). While Telco "Private APN" and "roaming SIM" type solutions are presented as an option for "wide area" use cases, many Enterprises require a level of networking control and visibility that these offerings lack. Enterprises are eager for EMN solutions that are as easy as Wi-Fi to operate and don’t require any upgrades to their existing private RANs or mobile devices.
Expeto recognized these needs and developed the NeXtworking™ platform to extend Enterprise IT systems (for example, subnets and policies), plus networking control and visibility, uniformly over any combination of public or private "Any-G/Any-Band" RANs needed to economically fulfill the coverage/QoS/bandwidth requirements of mission-critical applications. The NeXtworking platform provides Telcos with a scalable, repeatable approach to serving Enterprise mobility needs while fully monetizing their public RAN and MEC investments.
The Expeto NeXtworking™ EMN platform includes cloud-native mobile core components that can be deployed in Enterprise data centers and customer site-located Dell MECs co-located with Dell partner private RANs.
Networks can now be established in minutes, and enterprise customers can move further and faster through their Industry 4.0 journeys to drive the outcomes that are destined to change the world for the better.
The Expeto platform (shown in following figure) provides:
Enterprise-first control of cellular data networks from SIM to server.
Deployment flexibility behind the enterprise logical or physical firewall.
Orchestrated containerized network functions.
Access to both existing MNO spectrum coverage and private networks.

Expeto-installed network components are deployed behind a corporate firewall, in a private cloud, and at geographically remote sites according to your needs. Enterprise data is secured within the enterprise network, giving you full control of the mobile network. This control enables you to create segments, manage subscribers and device network policies, and monitor network usage and performance.
Expeto’s service-level agreements (SLAs) guarantee at least 99.999 per cent uptime and are designed to scale to thousands and thousands of devices for each deployed site.
