Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional methods for entity-to-entity connections, such as VPN tunnels or dedicated circuits, are inefficient and costly, especially when entities need to communicate with multiple parties or when compute logic is off-site, leading to challenges in identifying and addressing issues in dynamic communication scenarios.

Innovation Solution

A private, secure 5G connectivity network is generated to provide rapid bandwidth access, allowing authenticated users to connect from any point-to-point via a dedicated bandwidth pipeline, using 5G-enabled hardware devices and authentication credentials like usernames, passwords, or biometric data, without relying on VPN tunnels or dedicated circuits.

AI summary

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for rapid bandwidth access deployment across multiple entities for secure, expedited bandwidth provisioning for entity connectivity. In this way, the invention provides a private, secure 5G connectivity network to generate specific remote points of connectivity for entity to entity connections. The 5G network may allow any user within the entity with authentication to connect from any random point-to-point faster, with much more time to transmit using an existing wave length within the 5G technology. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the system may provide a dedicated bandwidth pipeline that provides trades or communications within milliseconds for the entity users. This may be provided via a geographical location or the like and allow for 5G provisioning and presentment for faster than a traditional fiber based connectivity desired for entity communications.
