Ubiik Introduces freeRAN.net

In a significant move to bolster the adoption of private LTE and Cellular IoT technologies, Ubiik has officially launched a new website, freeRAN.net. This platform is dedicated to promoting the utilization of license-free bands for the benefits of industries such as utilities, mining, oil and gas, transport, and construction. With the rising importance of private networks in boosting operational visibility and control, freeRAN.net provides a comprehensive resource for businesses eager to explore these innovative solutions.

Focusing on Private LTE and Cellular IoT

The centerpiece of this initiative is Ubiik's freeRAN™, a private LTE base station that operates within the 915 MHz unlicensed band. By leveraging this spectrum, Ubiik aims to facilitate the simultaneous connectivity of thousands of devices, a crucial feature for industries that rely heavily on IoT deployments. With freeRAN™, users can reclaim control over their data and coverage through a private network, minimizing reliance on third-party services and enhancing operational efficiency.

Cost-Effective Solutions

One of the standout advantages of freeRAN™ is its affordability, as it tackles one of the main obstacles to adopting private LTE networks: the high expense associated with spectrum acquisition. Traditionally, businesses would invest significant sums into acquiring licensed spectrum. However, by utilizing the unlicensed ISM band, companies can deploy private LTE networks without incurring exorbitant costs. The compact design of freeRAN™, weighing less than 7kg and featuring ruggedized IP67 certification, ensures that organizations can maintain operational resilience without extensive capital investment.

Enhanced Throughput and Security

FreeRAN™ takes things a step further by employing 3GPP cellular technologies, allowing higher throughput and improved security compared to older technologies typically used in unlicensed bands, such as LoRaWAN or Wi-Fi. With options for either Cat-1 or Cat-M1 deployments, users can prepare for various IoT scenarios—from basic metering and asset tracking to integrating security cameras and private voice services within the same network. This versatility sets freeRAN™ apart in a crowded market.

Quick Deployment and Managed Solutions

Designed for rapid deployment akin to setting up WiFi routers, freeRAN™ can be operational within hours, thanks in part to its lightweight structure that can be easily affixed to existing infrastructures. Furthermore, Ubiik provides users with goNMS, a robust Network Management Solution, allowing straightforward configuration and monitoring. Whether hosted in the cloud or on-premises, goNMS ensures that users can maintain oversight of their network effortlessly.

Join the Movement

For those interested in learning more about how freeRAN™ can benefit their operations, Ubiik invites potential users to sign up for demonstrations through freeRAN.net. Additionally, Ubiik will showcase their offerings at several industry events, including Comms Connect NZ and UTC TT 2025, giving businesses the opportunity to witness the capabilities of private LTE and Cellular IoT firsthand.
