Wireless and broadband connectivity solutions and infrastructure
Technologies
Private 5G networks provide dedicated wireless coverage for industrial and campus environments. LEO satellite constellations deliver broadband from low Earth orbit. LPWAN (LoRaWAN, NB-IoT) provides low-power, long-range IoT connectivity. Mesh networking extends coverage through device-to-device relay. Software-defined networking enables dynamic network configuration.
Applications
Private 5G networks connect factory robots and sensors reliably. Satellite broadband provides internet to remote communities, maritime vessels, and aircraft. LPWAN connects agricultural sensors across thousands of acres. Fixed wireless access delivers broadband to rural areas without fiber.
