KeyLTE Overview
KeyLTE revolutionizes the deployment of public and private LTE networks by creating a simple and flexible toolkit for network design and deployment.
Instead of expensive, unwieldy legacy core topologies, KeyLTE networks can be built easily and affordably in a variety of environments. KeyLTE is agile and lightweight enough to to embed the EPC (Evolved Packet Core) in the Althea smart router, and flexible enough to scale to nationwide deployments.
KeyLTE offers the following benefits:
- Build Affordably
- Easy Plug-and-Play Design and Maintenance
- Build Flexible and Dynamic Deployments
- Scale with Cloud or Cloud Hybrid Solutions
- Althea’s built in distance-vector routing and composable metered billing solution
Build Affordably
By embedding the EPC into the home Althea router instance, LTE networks can be deployed as inexpensively as you would install a home user, or even convert a subscriber or home deployment into an edge core with a simple firmware upgrade. This minimizes power consumption and footprint, further reducing capital outlay.
Easy Plug-and-Play
The KeyLTE router needs minimal configuration and can be maintained remotely in the Althea Operator Tools dashboard. You can use Althea SIMs and have access to the team for support, or we can help you build out a private network that scales as big as your ambitions.
Build Flexible and Dynamic Deployments
From the construction site to rural fixed wireless, KeyLTE and Althea’s dynamic mesh routing empowers self-healing, agile, and resilient topologies all without manual configuration.
Scale with Cloud or Cloud Hybrid Solutions
KeyLTE can be deployed on the edge, extending out a fixed wireless network, or as a flexible private LTE core. As your network grows, or if your footprint is more expansive, core components can be part of a cloud or data center solution.
Built in distance-vector routing and composable metered billing solution
A plug-and-play, mesh routing enables capital efficient and resilient networks that can be built even in the most challenging environments. Althea end users pre-pay and can be configured in a variety of ways to charge both a metered and/or monthly payment in a multi-stakeholder environment.
Use Cases
- Fixed Wireless
- CBRS and nlos environments
- Private LTE
- Smart and Precision Agriculture
- Construction and Temporary Site Deployment
- Smart Cities, Remote Cameras, and IoT
- Private/Public LTE Models
LTE networks can provide connectivity to a variety of fixed and IoT devices. They are scalable, future-proof wireless networks, making LTE the perfect choice for a WISP, farm, or private LTE deployment.
Althea is democratizing the LTE space. Instead of just legacy telcos with experience and large budgets, LTE can be an affordable and easy to use option for anyone.
