Kajeet, a Bethesda, MD-based IoT network operator, will deploy its Smart Private 5G Platform using Samsung’s Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) radios. Additionally, Kajeet has become an authorized distributor of Samsung’s private RAN solutions in the U.S.
The Samsung’s CBRS products to be deployed by Kajeet include its Massive MIMO 64T64R macro cell and 4T4R 4G/5G radio, which support a variety of use cases requiring campus-wide connectivity with massive data capacity. This includes enabling fixed wireless access for underserved rural areas and industrial IoT applications connecting thousands of sensors to analyze data.
The Samsung and Kajeet Smart Private 5G collaboration will provide customized private networks using Kajeet’s cloud-based device, policy and network management, and Samsung’s RAN solutions.
Education First
The education sector will be the first area that Kajeet and Samsung will tackle, with the two companies already working to deliver a 5G private network solution to multiple school districts. Kajeet has worked with educational institutions for more than 20 years, providing managed IoT and public internet connectivity to more than 3,000 school districts.
In June, Kajeet announced a collaboration with Google to deploy its Private 5G Platform on the Google Distributed Cloud Edge. Kajeet is in the process of planning and designing several Private 5G networks using Google Distributed Cloud Edge for school districts across the country that will launch later this year.
Using Samsung’s 5G-ready CBRS network solutions, Kajeet also plans to build and manage secure private 5G networks for municipalities, universities and community colleges, utilities, libraries, healthcare organizations, and other enterprises in key vertical markets.
