Sapphire PCN · Managed private LTE/5G
One network for the whole installation.
A governed private cellular layer for U.S. military bases — controlled on base, continuous in country, connected globally.
Sapphire PCN is approved by The Exchange.
Coverage that doesn't stop at the gate
Most networks solve one situation. Sapphire PCN solves all three — through a single SIM, plan, and app that moves with the user.
Controlled installation coverage
Coverage and policy for on-base operations: barracks, lodging, housing, retail, and community facilities — under operator control.
Carrier continuity outside the gate
Carrier mobility beyond the installation, with service continuity for local travel, work, and daily activity.
Roaming on the same framework
International roaming and account continuity through the same service framework and customer application.
One identity. Private on base, carrier off base. The same SIM and app move with the user — automatically private inside the gate, public beyond it. No re-enrollment, no second device.
The network you control is the network you trust.
Direct control over who connects, how traffic flows, and what stays local — physically separate from DoD mission systems.
Separation by architecture, not by policy memo.
Personal traffic never routes across NIPR, SIPR, or other mission systems. Access is identity-based and centrally revocable; traffic handling is U.S.-anchored or governed under agreed terms.
Users and devices authenticate through SIM or eSIM credentials. Access can be granted, denied, changed, or revoked centrally.
Distinct APNs, slices, or logical traffic domains for soldiers, families, Exchange operations, MWR, USO, contractors, and IoT — each with its own policy.
Physically and logically separate from DoD mission networks. Personal traffic never routes across NIPR, SIPR, or other mission systems.
Full operator visibility into who is connecting, their service class, and how resources are being used — a more disciplined posture than public-only.
Traffic can be U.S.-anchored or managed under agreed governance. The operator controls what stays local and what routes through controlled gateways.
The platform, layer by layer
Purpose-built from the radio equipment to the helpdesk.
Not dependent on a single path
Fiber for capacity, satellite for resilience and reach — hybrid where continuity matters most.
Fiber
Primary high-capacity backhaul for main sites where terrestrial infrastructure is available and stable.
Satellite
Rapid deployment, augmentation, or remote-site option where terrestrial links are limited or resilience is needed quickly.
Fiber + Satellite
Hybrid design for resilience, graceful degradation, and service continuity if one path is constrained.
Hybrid backhaul — satellite augmentationDesigned around the installation
Five phases, one accountable operator — from site survey through lifecycle support.
Site survey & design
Outdoor zones, indoor buildings, RF conditions, power, backhaul, and device requirements.
Radio installation
Towers, sector radios, small cells, or indoor access points — per the site design.
Core & policy activation
Secure local core, authentication, segmentation, and traffic steering.
User enablement
SIM/eSIM profiles, app credentials, and device options for barracks, lodging, and offices.
Operations & support
Performance, alarms, utilization, and customer support through one managed service model.
Sapphire Flyaway Kit
The same platform — governance, policy engine, SIM identity, app — in three portable cases. Operational the same day.
