One SIM. Every site.
SIM roaming is live across West Private 5G. Approve a SIM onto any private core you run and it connects the moment it arrives — no reprogramming, no site visit, no carrier in the middle.
Private 5G that behaves like one network
West Networks · August 17, 2026
A private 5G network gives you what the carriers can't: your own core, your own radios, your own SIM cards, on your own site. But until now each site was an island — a SIM issued for one network had to be manually re-provisioned to work on another.
That changes today. Every West Private 5G SIM now carries an approval list, managed from the West Private 5G platform. Approve a SIM onto any of your cores and its credentials are provisioned to that site in seconds, over the same secure management channel we use to operate the core itself. Pull the approval and it's removed just as fast. All your sites broadcast the same network, so devices simply attach to whichever approved site they're standing on.
The first roaming deployment happened this week: a SIM issued at our lab was approved onto a customer's construction-site core and attached over the air the same afternoon — full speed, no configuration changes on the device it lives in.
The whole core lives at the edge
No data center, no backhaul dependency — the network brain sits on the site it serves.
Core on the 1350 EC
The 5G core runs on the Peplink Balance 1350 EC's built-in edge compute — private cellular and bonded SD-WAN internet from a single appliance.
9 ms at ¾ mile
With the core on site, traffic never leaves the property — measured 9 ms latency at three-quarters of a mile from the radio on the live jobsite deployment.
One platform
Every core is operated from the West Private 5G platform — health, radios, SIM inventory, telemetry, and roaming approvals in one pane of glass, watched by our NOC.
Roaming built in
SIMs roam between every site you run. A crew that moves between jobsites takes its connectivity with it — approve once, attach anywhere.
Issue once. Approve sites. Roam freely.
Issue once
Every West Private 5G SIM is written once and recorded in our platform, credentials encrypted at rest.
Approve sites
Pick the sites each SIM may use. Approval provisions the SIM onto that site's core in seconds — revocation is just as fast, and removing a SIM cleans it off every core it was ever granted to.
Roam freely
Devices attach to whichever approved site they're standing on. The platform shows where every SIM is attached right now — home, roaming, or offline.
Your network. Every site.
We design, deploy, and operate private 5G — core, radios, SIMs, and now roaming between every site you run.
