WHY CELIUM IS THE BEST CHOICE FOR RURAL AND REMOTE LANDSCAPES
Radio signals suffer less loss and wrap around hills and obstacles better at lower frequencies. Celium is optimised to operate at 160-MHz in New Zealand and in the Multi-Use Radio Service channels (151 – 154-MHz) in the US. Alternative low power coded wideband or spread spectrum based networks generally operate in higher spectrum ranges such as the unlicensed ISM band of 868-MHz or the 2.4-GHz band.
Additionally, Celium uses market leading, narrowband technology to deliver highly efficient, low data rate communications. This provides several advantages over coded wideband based systems. This combination of narrowband technology and a lower operating frequency means Celium can deliver superior range over systems operating at higher frequencies for the equivalent power consumption. Especially in undulating topography, through dense vegetation and in wet weather conditions.
ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION PROJECT
Celium is playing a critical role in recreating a bird paradise in the Hawke’s Bay region, New Zealand.
