// HARDWARE & 5G ENGINEERING

Carrier-grade 5G connectivity, compiled to fit the site

From kernel configuration to antenna placement — firmware and RF are tuned together, because a link's stability depends on both.

  • OPENWRT · IMMORTALWRT · LEDE
  • 5G NR M.2
  • RSRP · RSRQ · SINR
  • MULTI-WAN FAILOVER

Supported modem silicon

Module integration validated across the four major 5G NR vendors, on both PCIe and USB transports.

RF & embedded capabilities

Custom Firmware Compilation

OpenWrt, ImmortalWrt, and LEDE images built per deployment with only the packages the site needs.

  • Package set minimisation
  • ARM64 / ARMv7 / MIPS targets
  • Reproducible build pipeline

M.2 Module Integration

PCIe and USB mode-switching for 5G NR modules across the major silicon vendors.

  • PCIe / USB mode switch
  • KEY-B form factor
  • Antenna diversity

RF Signal Optimisation

Per-site tuning of radio metrics and cell preference for stable throughput in marginal coverage.

  • RSRP / RSRQ / SINR tuning
  • Cell-tower locking
  • Band aggregation

Resilient WAN Routing

Automated failover between uplinks so the gateway stays reachable when a bearer degrades.

  • Multi-WAN failover
  • Health-check policies
  • Remote telemetry
