Leveraging Ericsson’s core network technology, Southern Linc owns and manages a private regional LTE network covering 122,000 square miles of service territory. The network supports a wide variety of devices and applications for commercial and utility customers including electric grid control and monitoring devices, cellular routers, mission-critical push-to-talk services, smartphones, hotspots, laptops/tablets, sensors, and more. With significantly increasing demand for network access, Southern Linc selected OneLayer’s Bridge platform to enhance the management and security of the CriticalLinc network.

“Southern Linc is a pioneer in utility operations and the leader in private LTE for both maturity and scale,” remarked Dave Mor, CEO of OneLayer. “This joint collaboration is a significant milestone, and we’re proud to be part of their commitment to operational excellence.”

OneLayer’s Bridge solution provides customized network management and security capabilities that address Southern Linc’s unique needs. The platform offers high-accuracy device fingerprinting, which enables effective profiling and reclassification of devices. Furthermore, it correlates device identities across IP and cellular networks and provides real-time detection of hidden devices. This comprehensive asset management solution improves Southern Linc’s network control and supports efficient scaling.

With the OneLayer solution, Southern Linc has full visibility and control of all devices on its network. This visibility and control helps facilitate effective management of device communications, and it provides insights into devices connected behind routers.

“Our partnership with OneLayer allows us to scale and secure all of the devices on our network so we can effectively and efficiently expand network utilization,” said Alan McIntyre, Vice President of Engineering and Operations at Southern Linc. “OneLayer’s Bridge platform gives us control of connected assets on our LTE network and provides essential tools to better manage and secure our network as usage expands,” he continued.

OneLayer also supports Southern Linc’s security position by enabling detection and response to network threats swiftly, often reducing response times from weeks to mere hours. Through robust policy enforcement, network segmentation and device quarantining capabilities, the Bridge platform seamlessly executes established security policies and enhances overall network resilience.
