Macro Sites and Microsites

CableFree LTE supports flexible deployment patterns, which can be varied to meet network demands

• Typical macrosites have 3 or 6 Sectors
• Micro sites could have 1 RRH with an Omnidirectional or Sector antenna,

Small Cell Solutions

In addition, CableFree offer Small Cell solutions are available with smaller form factor and lower transmit power levels of typically 500mW, 1W and up to 5W.    2×2 and 4×4 MIMO versions are offered, including dual 2×2 configurations.
Contact CableFree for details.

Unlicensed LTE (LTE-U)

CableFree offers Band 46 5GHz LTE Base Station and Outdoor CPE devices for operation in Unlicensed 5GHz spectrum, enabling smaller operators and private customers to build LTE without requiring access to licensed spectrum.  Band 46 covers 5150 – 5925MHz and uses TDD-LTE technology.
Contact CableFree for details.

Internet of Things (IoT)

CableFree 4G & 5G LTE base stations already support NB-IoT release 14 compliant standards, to enable connection of IoT devices to a CableFree LTE base station.

• Single-tone and multi-tone category NB1 UE support
• 15 kHz and 3.75 kHz subcarrier spacing are supported
• All operation modes (in-band, guard band and standalone) are supported
• Multiple NB-IoT and LTE cells can be used at the same time in the same eNodeB

CableFree 4G LTE CPE devices

CableFree offers a wide range of 4G/LTE CPE devices for indoor and outdoor applications, fixed, mobile and nomadic users, buildings and vehicles.  These CPE devices are fully 3GPP standards compliant and can be used with either CableFree LTE Base Station infrastructure or other brands or pre-existing 4G networks.

CableFree 4G & 5G LTE Infrastructure and Backhaul Networks

CableFree Backhaul links for LTE networks using a flexible mix of Microwave, Millimeter Wave (MMW), Free Space Optics (FSO) and AC-MIMO radio

Are you considering building a 4Gor 5G LTE Network?

You’ll need access to spectrum.  Generally, 4G & 5G technology uses licensed frequencies and requires regional, national or customer-specific operator frequency licenses to operate.  LTE works in frequencies from 450MHz up to 3800MHz (3.8GHz).  Options for Unlicensed LTE-U (5GHz band) are available.

CableFree Mobile WiFi hotspot products can use existing 4G operator networks and can use SIM cards and billing plans from those operators in order to provide bandwidth

For customers without access to LTE frequency bands or networks, we can suggest our other complimentary range of products which can operate in other licensed or unlicensed frequencies.

Installing and Operating CableFree LTE

The CableFree range of LTE products are normally implemented by approved integrator partners on a project-specific basis to create a complete network solution.
