Strategic Partnership of Five Tech Leaders for End-to-End Solutions Within 450MHz Ecosystems

The five tech partners Airspan, COCUS, Cyrus Technology, Frequentis, and GCT Semiconductor Holding Inc. (NYSE: GCTS), proudly announce the strategic partnership aimed at advancing critical communication networks within the utilities sector. The collaboration will leverage the distinct strengths of each partner to deliver robust, end-to-end solutions within the 450MHz ecosystem, addressing the critical communication challenges faced by utility companies.

The utilities sector faces substantial challenges in maintaining and upgrading their communication networks, which often consist of unconnected legacy proprietary systems. With operations spread across vast and often remote areas, utilities must contend with coverage blind spots, particularly in regions with underground facilities and difficult terrain. Additionally, utility workers frequently move between locations, requiring reliable connectivity solutions that support smartphones with VoIP and Push-to-Talk capabilities. As utilities modernize their grids, they require more secure connectivity, faster speeds, and lower latency to support smart grid applications.

4G and 5G networks unify and modernize legacy utility systems, with lower frequency bands like 450MHz extending coverage and improving penetration. 5G also enables secure, low-latency OTT applications like MC-PTT and video, providing a future-proof solution for the evolving needs of the utilities market.

This collaboration focuses on delivering a comprehensive end-to-end solution for critical operations by integrating advanced hardware, sophisticated software, and seamless system integration to create reliable and efficient communication networks.

The initial focus in Airspan’s new Utilities Innovation Lab in Warsaw is to demonstrate an end-to-end system featuring Over-the-Air connected devices operating on 410MHz and 450MHz (B31, B72, B87) frequencies. This lab will serve as a practical demonstration and testing ground for the 450MHz technology, showcasing the integrated capabilities put forward by this collaboration:

This collaborative effort invites industry leaders, technology partners, and media representatives to visit our Utilities Innovation Lab for a firsthand demonstration of our innovative solutions.
