The described embodiments set forth techniques for private cellular wireless network management personalized for a wireless device, including private cellular wireless network characterization at frequently visited locations, targeted cell search, cell radio link monitoring, and radio resource management. The wireless device builds a database of private cellular wireless networks characterized using information gathered when searching for and while attached to cells of a private cellular wireless network. The wireless device uses the database to determine when to enable or disable SIMs or eSIMs of private cellular wireless networks at known locations and network parameters to use to find and connect to the private cellular wireless networks. The wireless device uses learning processes to maintain currency of the database of private cellular wireless networks as network topologies change.
