LONDON, 29 September 2026 – Wifinity has launched a new fully managed private 5G service for dedicated connectivity across large, spread-out outdoor environments where it’s difficult, expensive and hard to scale traditional WiFi networks. The private 5G service is already live at a large UK holiday park for a leading operator, which is already seeing flexibility gains, supporting a better guest experience and the revenue potential of pop-up events or more areas of the site.
For operators of holiday parks, residential communities, defence estates, industrial sites and large campuses, connectivity is difficult to install and maintain across open spaces, remote locations and dispersed areas. Extending fixed infrastructure outside buildings means disruptive groundworks, cabling and multiple wireless access points.
Rather than the cost and disruption of extending WiFi across the park, new spectrum availability from Ofcom gives individual sites or venues a dedicated private 5G network with fewer small cell radio units. This is more attractive for venues in environmentally sensitive areas, protected landscapes and established estates.
Wifinity’s new private 5G managed service includes everything from survey, design and deployment through to monitoring and optimisation. Customers do not need in-house 5G experience and, as NOC and support are outsourced, there is no extra network to manage. For venue operators, the outcome is simple. Better coverage, greater flexibility and less complexity.
Wifinity obtains licences for spectrum delivering uncontested bandwidth and small cells can be added as a site extends, to easily extend the network. The offer is more flexible connectivity for dispersed environments where accommodation, facilities, operational buildings and outdoor spaces are spread across hundreds of acres.
Wifinity’s first deployment is live at a major UK south coast holiday venue with hundreds of caravans, lodges and facilities across 40 hectares. Its private 5G network converts site-wide cellular coverage into WiFi in accommodation and shared spaces, so guests have a familiar user experience via a simplified underlying network. Maintenance teams, operational staff and connected devices stay online as they move about, and can host pop-up events, food and ice cream stalls with seasonal demand.
James Julier, Head of Product Engineering at Wifinity, said: “Traditional WiFi works very well inside buildings, but many sites weren’t designed with modern connectivity requirements in mind, so extending coverage can mean more cabling, more access points and big infrastructure investment. Private 5G is an alternative approach using a dedicated cellular layer to cover large areas more efficiently.”
