What we do.

At RippleLink, we specialize in designing, delivering and managing CBRS Private Cellular networks. We start with a consultative process to understand your unique coverage and network requirements. Our team will then work with you to develop the right design and end-to-end integration services needed to deploy your CBRS Private Cellular network. Our engineers leverage the latest advanced 4G and 5G Private Cellular wireless planning tools to model Private Cellular coverage for indoor and outdoor locations. Whether you need assistance in deploying Private Cellular network devices, connecting your local network to your new Private Cellular system, registering your Private Cellular access points with the Spectrum Access System, onsite RF coverage and capacity validation or managed services, we offer a host of solutions to guarantee a successful Private Cellular deployment.

CBRS allows you to connect mobile scanners, tablets, security cameras, access control solutions, and IOT devices with the power of 4G and 5G Cellular technology.

Why all the buzz around CBRS and Private Cellular?

Private 4G and 5G networks, which operate on the CBRS radio band (3.55-3.7 GHz), use dedicated cellular technology instead of Wi-Fi to transmit data wirelessly. This approach offers significant advantages, including greater range, enhanced performance, and increased security. The latest mobile scanners and tablets, phones, laptops, and IoT devices are increasingly being built with CBRS capability. For devices that aren’t, a bridge device can provide connectivity to the network. Soon, a wide range of devices—from smartphones and tablets to IoT sensors and industrial scanners—will be able to connect directly to these powerful and reliable private networks.

How do I deploy a Private Cellular Network?

Step 1: Deploy your CBRS wireless access points either indoors or outdoors. We recommend a Predictive Design to model coverage for each access point and to ensure redundant coverage. Each Indoor eNodeB can cover up to 50,000 SQFT, an outdoor AP can cover many miles depending on terrain and choice of access point.

Step 2: Connect your CBRS access point to your network and the Spectrum Access System (SAS). You will need to have a certified professional installer (CPI) to connect the access point to the SAS – we can help you with this process. The SAS ensures there is no interference between you and other nearby CBRS networks and that your network will operate interference free.

THE SAS and EPC.

Step 3: Provision your CBRS capable mobile scanner, tablet, mobile or IOT devices to your CBRS Evolved Packet Core (EPC). The EPC is the software that allows you to connect any device to your network with a SIM or eSIM. The EPC has many functions including device authentication, and setting security and network traffic policies – we can help here too!

Where can I build a CBRS Private Cellular Network?

You can build a CBRS network anywhere in the United States of America, and the size of the network can be vast compared to traditional Wi-Fi networks. CBRS uses a central cloud-based system called the Spectrum Access System (SAS) to geolocate each CBRS Access Point and ensure that nearby CBRS networks operate on a different channel. If you build your network within a few miles of a coastline (Atlanta, Pacific or Gulf) or near a military or Federal government facility, there might be some limitations on how many outdoor channels are available however, this will generally not affect indoor CBRS networks. Some of the CBRS channels are reserved for the Federal government and military in these locations, and some of the channels in specific geographies may be reserved by organization who purchased channels with an intent to use them. Since the SAS allows us to see what channels are available, we can check to determine how many channels are available in your geography. The bottom line is CBRS is available and ready for your unique use-case.
