MultiTech Expands Reach of Private 5G Networks and LoRaWAN Connectivity with New CBRS and Anterix 900 MHz Devices

Las Vegas, NV – Sept. 28, 2022 –MultiTech, a leading global supplier of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and services, today announced the expansion of its CBRS compatible product family and the addition of new devices supporting the Anterix 900 MHz spectrum. The announcement highlights MultiTech’s commitment to private 5G & LoRaWAN® networks and providing a broad range of cellular spectrum options to broaden the addressable market for its customers and their connected products and services.

“Our customers realize the benefits of enterprise private wireless networks in solving coverage, capacity and control,” said Daniel Quant, Vice President of Strategic Development at MultiTech. “By expanding support for CBRS, Anterix 900 MHz and LoRaWAN, MultiTech is removing barriers for OEMs, solution providers and enterprises to converge and connect their products, services and processes.”

Converged Private LTE and LoRaWAN networks deliver secure business critical standards-based communication for improved performance and enterprise mobility for both broadband, low-latency and massive IoT applications. CBRS enables enhanced mobile broadband communication using liberalized shared spectrum at 3.55-3.7 GHz. Anterix 900 MHz spectrum enables critical infrastructure and utilities to digitally transform their businesses with broadband long-range connectivity. LoRaWAN connects narrow-band constrained assets and sensors on batteries for years over long ranges and with superior building penetration, coexistence, and noise immunity in the sub-GHz ISM band.
