Telrad Networks, a global provider of innovative LTE telecom solutions, announced the launch of their new 5 GHz, unlicensed band, LTE solution and the successful trial of the product by White Cloud Networks, an Idaho-based wireless Internet service provider (WISP). The new product enables operators to create greenfield networks using the license-exempt band, or for existing networks to augment their operations with the addition of affordable coverage.
“We have been extremely impressed with the performance of the new Telrad 5 GHz product,” said Joseph Shelton, CEO and President of White Cloud Networks. “We were a bit skeptical to start, knowing that interference can be an issue in this band, but Telrad has integrated exceptional interference mitigation technology into the product. We saw incredible performance over a 4-5 mile range.”
The Telrad unlicensed product suite includes the new BreezeU-100 base station, the flagship BreezeCOMPACT 1000 base station, the new CPE8700 outdoor high-power CPE, BreezeVIEW network management, and the BreezeWAY flexible and scalable EPC.
Telrad has designed the 5 GHz product unlicensed LTE products to provide any size customer with a complete, fully standards-based LTE network that offers cost-optimized configurations, lower total cost of ownership, Near-LOS capabilities and high throughput.
Chris Daniels, President of Telrad’s Wireless Division, added, “This product is going to be a real game-changer for many operators, especially those that don’t have access to licensed spectrum or are interested in expanding coverage and capacity by supplementing their licensed spectrum with unlicensed spectrum. The combination of our new 5 GHz product with our CBRS band solution will make LTE operation even more affordable for service providers globally.”
Telrad is exhibiting at the WISPAPALOOZA Conference, at Booth #335, in Las Vegas, today through October 12, 2018. Visitors can learn more about the new unlicensed LTE product as well as the rest of the company’s suite of high-performance products.
