Carrier-grade CellBox Air gNodeB redefines operational time-to-value for mission-critical and battlefield applications with ultra-rapid initialization.
Microamp, a global leader in 5G mmWave solutions, and Druid Software, a leading provider of the multigenerational core network solutions built on its Raemis™ technology, showcased a live demonstration of the rapid deployment of a carrier-grade 5G mmWave private network in a matter of minutes. This groundbreaking achievement sets a new industry benchmark for network readiness and operational speed.
The Key Advantage: Minutes-Long Deployment
The ability to achieve a short deployment time for the entire private network is a critical differentiator that revolutionizes the economics and operational feasibility of 5G mmWave private networks.
In use cases ranging from defence and emergency response to temporary industrial sites and pop-up venues, the requirement for rapid-response connectivity is paramount. Microamp’s focus on architectural flexibility and plug-and-play engineering enables customers to deploy multi-gigabit coverage within minutes, immediately transforming operational readiness and accelerating time-to-value. This unparalleled speed is powered by Microamp technology, implemented in the CellBox Air gNodeB, that simplifies setup without sacrificing carrier-grade stability or performance.
This technical feature is particularly relevant for defence and military operations, where the time of deployment is crucial for establishing immediate tactical advantage. The demonstration proves the viability of a highly portable system that can create a secure and robust network ready for use quickly in challenging environments. Microamp technology is crucial for the battlefield as it features Low Probability of Detection (LPD) and Low Probability of Intercept (LPI), ensuring secure and resilient to jamming communication.
Technology Spotlight: CellBox Air gNodeB for Superior Performance
The live demonstration showcased the powerful capabilities of the Microamp 5G mmWave private network and confirmed its high performance in combination with Druid Software Raemis™ 5G Core and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
The system architecture used in the demonstration is shown below:
The Microamp 5G mmWave gNodeB was registered by Raemis™ 5G Core that was remotely activated and configured by Raemis™ Distributed Network Manager (DNM) deployed on OCI. Following registration, the Microamp 5G mmWave CPE was rapidly attached, and within around 30 seconds, an IP address was successfully obtained, the device was switched to active status and data transmission began.
Subsequently, network throughput was verified. The test results confirmed the expected high performance of the Microamp 5G mmWave network, with downlink at approximately 2 Gbps and uplink around 250 Mbps (operating on band n257 with 400 MHz bandwidth).
Microamp CellBox Air gNodeB is a carrier-grade wireless base station designed for high-capacity outdoor and indoor deployments. It delivers 4+ Gbps performance and near-zero latency (< 5 ms), with bandwidth capability up to 800 MHz. The design offers high flexibility, supporting advanced Microamp features, such as Integrated Access and Backhaul, Mobility Mode and the highly efficient Uplink-Heavy System, making it an ideal, cost-efficient solution for even the most demanding applications.
This successful demonstration underscores a pivotal shift in the trajectory of private 5G, moving the paradigm away from resource-intensive infrastructure toward fast, agile and cloud-managed deployments. It proves that gigabit-level network performance can be achieved instantaneously upon 5G mmWave system activation, setting a new standard for network efficiency in any environment.
