Licensed Spectrum: The Key to Private Network Performance 

See how Band 53 and Band n53 transform private networks with superior coverage and efficiency.

Why Licensed Spectrum Matters



Interference Free

Avoids interference common in shared spectrum (Wi-Fi, CBRS).



Consistent Performance

Ensures performance consistency—essential for real-time applications and automation.



Risk Reduction

Reduces risk with clean spectrum, unshared with consumer devices.



Easy Deployment

Simplifies deployment by utilizing licensed, interference-free spectrum, which minimizes coordination complexities and accelerates setup.



Full Control

Enables network ownership and control without dependence on public carriers.

Accessing Expanded Bandwidth with XCOM RAN

Amplify Band n53 to power high-throughput applications.

Band n53 offers clean, licensed spectrum, and with XCOM RAN it can be called from 10 MHz to between 40-80 MHz, unlocking the bandwidth needed for high-throughput uses like robotics, automation, and immersive AR/XR. See it in action from Mobile World Congress Barcelona.
