Ukama Tower Node
This 4G/LTE micro base-station (RAN) is the basis for a complete outdoor installation. With an embedded Intel quad-core 1.9 GHz processor with 2 GB RAM and 32 GB storage, it is designed to support up to 128 concurrently active devices (UEs). In actual testing to date, it has easily handled 64 devices. The entire node has an industrially rated operating temperature range (-40° C to +55° C) and is protected by a custom IP65 enclosure with passive cooling. The node is powered via Active PoE+ and is suitable for fully solar operation, with power consumption less than 45 W. Comes with two Ukama Data SIM Cards and two Ukama Data eSIMs. More SIM cards and eSIMs can be added at any time. Ukama Tower Node supports all LTE bands, though the amplifier (not included) it connects to needs to be tuned to a specific band. A typical set up is to connect Ukama Tower Node to two Ukama Amplifier Units, two Outdoor Omnidirectional High-Gain Antennas, and one Magnetic Mount Active GPS Antenna (all sold separately) for a MIMO 2x2 configuration. Ukama Tower Node is proudly open source, custom hardware manufactured in the United States - it is not rebranded hardware from another manufacturer.
Ukama Amplifier Unit
This 4G/LTE outdoor amplifier is designed specifically for use with Ukama Tower Node, and is also compatible with Ukama TRX Module. With an output of 30 dBm at the antenna port (single chain), this amplifier is perfect for extending your 4G/5G signal. The unit has an industrially rated operating temperature range (-40° C to +55° C) and is protected by a custom IP65 enclosure with passive cooling. The unit is powered via Active PoE and is suitable for fully solar operation, with power consumption less than 20 W thanks to linearization. Comes pre-tuned for CBRS (LTE band 48).
