Own Your Network
in the ISM Band
freeRAN™ enables businesses to deploy their own private LTE network in the free ISM band. It integrates 3GPP Release 15 for standalone 5G LPWA LTE-M, up to LTE Cat 4, offering strong security, high data throughput, and low power with wide coverage. It’s easy to deploy, cost-effective, and ideal for voice, data, or video IoT use cases, with built-in or external EPC options.
No Spectrum Fee
Ever
The ISM band, originally reserved for Industrial, Scientific, and Medical use, can be used without a license, making it ideal for low-power wireless systems like RF mesh metering. Traditionally, cellular networks required licensed spectrum, but Ubiik has overcome this by developing a 3GPP-standard LTE base station for the ISM band, freeRAN, enableing cost savings, cellular interoperability, and access to advanced 3GPP features in the license-free spectrum.
How freeRAN™
Works
Compliant with 3GPP standards, featuring AES-256 encryption for secure, authenticated communication across critical infrastructure and IoT deployments.
High-Throughput

Supports 3 MHz bandwidth and 300 kbps throughput, optimized for smart metering, sensors, SCADA, and other LPWAN applications requiring efficient, reliable data transfer.
3GPP Security
Built-in SDR with quad-core processing—no external servers needed. Handles signal processing, protocol stack, and application logic directly within the compact base station.

Why Choose Private LTE Over Public Cellular?
Public cellular is reliable, but not always available, especially in remote or rural areas.
Private networks like freeRAN™ fill those gaps, offer backup when public networks fail, and give you full ownership of your infrastructure. No monthly fees, no reliance on mobile operators, just total control and cost savings.

Cost Effective
Effortless Setup
freeRAN™ removes the need for towers and complex setups with a compact, IP67-rated design that mounts easily on poles, walls, or buildings. PoE support means one cable handles both power and data, enabling quick installation even in remote or off-grid areas.
Its small footprint and low hardware needs keep costs down. With a built-in EPC, there’s no need for external systems or data centers — simplifying deployment and reducing total cost of ownership.
freeRAN™ is built on LTE-M technology – the most future-proof 3GPP technology due to its path for integration to a 5G core (contrary to legacy LTE releases). In future, an LTE-M (also referred to as Cat-M1) device will be able to connect to a 5G core
