Our Founder

I have worked in Networking for 9 years, helping people solve networking issues is my job. Traditional network providers are have been unwilling to provide the flexibility, capacity, latency and price requirements needed by rural businesses and residents without government sponsored projects.

Apex Broadband

A new way to connect. Investor Owned Broadband Networks. Broadband is a resource that connects people and businesses to broader services. Rural areas are typical last to receive broadband network upgrades, usually due to cost. However, the US Government has realized how important broadband connectivity is to everyone, so in concert with the Telecom industry, have developed Private LTE/5G network solutions. Private LTE/5G networks utilize shared and unlicensed spectrum over LTE/5G technology to deliver broadband connectivity. Private LTE/5G is a game changer, private organizations now have the power to create LTE/5G networks without expensive spectrum licenses.

The Citizen's Broadband Radio Service

Until 2015, if you wanted to build an LTE network, you would have needed access to extremely expensive spectrum to even think about it. The 2010 National Broadband Plan issued by the FCC, a directive aimed at freeing up 500 MHz of spectrum,changed that. The execution of that directive freed up 150 MHz of spectrum in the 3.5 MHz range that the US Military was under utilizing, this spectrum became the Citizen's Broadband Radio Service.

Shared spectrum is for everybody.

CBRS spectrum utilizes a three tiered shared spectrum scheme, Incumbent, Priority and General Authorized Access, are the tiers.  Incumbents (Military/Government) having the highest and most prioritized access to the spectrum, can access the spectrum at any time, without regard to who may be using the band. The next tier is Priority Access License, or PAL and allows exclusive use of 10-40 MHz of spectrum by purchase of a PAL from the FCC or third party. General Authorized Access or GAA is the lowest tier and is what is regarded as "lightly licensed", 80 MHz of spectrum is always accessible for GAA. A Spectrum Access Server or SAS, coordinates usage of the spectrum. If no one is using the spectrum, the entirety of the band, 150 MHz is available, on a county by county basis.

So what does this mean?

Private LTE/5G networks offers the opportunity to build high speed networks in months instead of years. Private LTE/5G has several revenue streams, from broadband access, to cellular offload, neutral network hosting, to IOT and automation.

Fixed Wireless/Private LTE/5G are technologies expected to drive innovation, investment and industry. Private LTE/5G is expected to replace WiFi in industry due to its long range, mobility and security. Automation, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning,Edge Computing, Vehicle Communications, are all technologies that will rely on the ability to connect to mobile networks at some point, and private LTE/5G Networks present the best opportunity to do so.

Organizations and Small Businesses need access to high capacity networks without paying an outrageous premium to do so. The ability to access commercial spectrum, without having to pay billions upfront gives us the power to build wide area Fixed Wireless, and Mobile Private LTE/5G networks and reduce the overall cost and complexity associated with access to low latency, high data rate broadband connectivity.
