Telum, the developer of the Ranberry family of mobile products in Russia, has developed technology that enables users to quickly deploy a 4G/LTE wireless broadband network for voice, video and data transmission. The project, called Ranberry B1000, incorporates products by Telum and by Intel.
Telum is a resident of Skolkovo, the international tech hub under completion on the outskirts of Moscow.
Developers believe the new system will be of particular interest to government emergency agencies when confronting the aftermath of natural disasters or industrial emergencies. It may also be useful for communications purposes in rural areas where building a standard base station is commercially unattractive, as well as in remote regions to support construction projects, geological surveys and other temporary missions.
The Telum-Intel platform could also solve the problem of isolation for Russia’s Arctic region, where few solutions to deploy modern communications and Internet systems are feasible due to the harsh environment. “4G/LTE-based aerial video surveillance systems could solve the problem of the vulnerability of wire lines in forbidding weather conditions with temperature drops and strong winds. In addition, one doesn’t have to dig ditches in permafrost,” says Telum CEO Pavel Boiko
The Skolkovo Foundation states that the Russian-made solution meets all the domestic requirements for information protection and has no undeclared functionality. The technology has also been certified in accordance with conventional LTE-base station registration procedures.
