Ubiik Introduces freeRAN.net for boosting adoption of personal LTE and Cellular Internet of Things within license-exempt frequency ranges
In the ever-evolving world of wireless technologies, Ubiik, a pioneering provider of private LTE solutions, IoT connectivity, and advanced wireless technologies, has launched a groundbreaking product: freeRANTM. Designed for the 915 MHz unlicensed band, this innovative base station offers a robust and secure platform for private LTE networks, particularly in environments where traditional cellular networks are not sufficient.
One of the key benefits of utilizing the ISM band with freeRANTM is the removal of one of the major barriers to entry of deploying a private LTE network - cost. Operating in the unlicensed 915 MHz band helps reduce the cost associated with spectrum licensing compared to traditional licensed LTE bands.
freeRANTM provides organizations with the flexibility to set up their own private LTE networks, offering secure and dedicated communications. It is appealing to various industries such as Utilities, Mining, Oil & Gas, Transport, and Construction. The lightweight base station can be mounted on existing infrastructure, making it easy to deploy.
The solution offers several advantages over other wireless technologies in terms of security, customization, and high-data-rate communications. Unlike Wi-Fi and WiMAX, which are primarily used for data-centric applications, freeRANTM offers a more robust and secure platform for voice and mission-critical communications. While CBRS also operates in an unlicensed spectrum (in the 3.5 GHz band), it requires a licensing framework and interference management. freeRANTM in the 915 MHz band does not have such requirements.
In comparison to LoRaWAN and Sigfox, which are optimized for low-power, wide-area networks (LPWANs) and are better suited for IoT applications with low data rates, freeRANTM supports higher data rates and voice communications.
freeRANTM's compact, lightweight, ruggedized, and low-power profile, together with its built-in cellular backhaul, reduce both the equipment footprint and the overall capital expense. End users of freeRANTM can configure and monitor their network with Ubiik's goNMS Network Management Solution, which can be hosted either on-premise or in the cloud to suit the user's requirements.
Ubiik continues to push the boundaries of connectivity to empower businesses with scalable, secure, and cost-effective solutions. The company is offering demos of freeRANTM at Comms Connect NZ and UTC T&T 2025 in June. To learn more about Ubiik and its offerings, visit www.ubiik.com.
