CableFree Unveils Revolutionary 5G Portfolio at MWC Barcelona 2026
Portable SmartPack, Onyx Indoor Cells, 3U Blade Servers, AI-Powered NMS and Native Android App Redefine Private 5G Deployment
For immediate release
Barcelona, Spain – 2 March 2026 – CableFree: Wireless Excellence, a global leader in 4G/5G RAN and wireless infrastructure, today launched a suite of groundbreaking new products at MWC Barcelona 2026 that deliver unmatched flexibility, intelligence and rapid deployability for private 5G networks, enterprise, industrial and neutral-host applications.
CableFree 5G SmartPack – True “5G in a Backpack”
The CableFree 5G SmartPack is a fully self-contained, rugged backpack unit featuring one or two integrated 5G radios, a high-performance x86 server capable of running a complete 5G core or AI inferencing workloads, Starlink or other LEO satellite backhaul, integrated Wi-Fi router for local access, and an onboard Android tablet for instant system management and monitoring. Ideal for rapid-response public safety, temporary events, remote industrial sites or disaster recovery, the SmartPack can be operational in minutes anywhere on the planet.
CableFree Onyx Indoor Micro/Femto Cells
Designed for offices, factories, warehouses and high-density indoor environments, the new Onyx series supports native 4×4 MIMO or dual independent 2×2 MIMO operation with any two bands (4G or 5G) simultaneously. Perfect for private networks, neutral-host deployments and Industry 4.0 automation, Onyx delivers carrier-grade performance in a compact, low-power form factor with easy wall or ceiling mounting and zero-touch provisioning.
CableFree 3U Blade Server – Pay-as-You-Grow Telco Platform
The new 3U rackmount chassis houses three independent hot-swap blades, each powered by a high-core-count x86 telco-grade server (up to 28 cores, Intel i9 class). Blades can be individually configured as 5G Baseband Units (BBU), routers, 5G Core, Network Management System (NMS) or AI inferencing engines. The innovative “pay-as-you-grow” architecture allows customers to start small and scale capacity or upgrade to next-generation AI compute blades in the future without replacing the entire system – while maintaining N+1 redundancy for mission-critical high-availability applications.
Enhanced CableFree NMS with Intelligent AI
CableFree’s industry-leading Network Management System has been upgraded with powerful new AI-driven features for automated network optimisation, predictive maintenance and fault-tolerant application orchestration, dramatically reducing OPEX and improving service reliability across any CableFree 5G deployment.
New Native Android App for 5G Performance Monitoring
Complementing the hardware launches, CableFree has released a native Android application for phones and tablets that provides IT managers and end-users with real-time “at-a-glance” visibility of 5G network performance, coverage, throughput, latency and device connectivity – making Private 5G deployment and operation simpler and more confident than ever.
“These launches represent the biggest leap forward in our 30-year history of wireless innovation,” said Stephen Patrick, Founder and CEO of CableFree: Wireless Excellence. “From a true 5G backpack that can be carried into any environment, to modular blade servers that future-proof AI investments, and intelligent AI tools that make Private 5G accessible to every enterprise, CableFree is delivering the flexible, high-performance solutions our customers have been demanding. We are proud to showcase these revolutionary products at MWC Barcelona 2026.”
All new products are available for demonstration at the CableFree stand during MWC Barcelona 2026 (2–5 March) and will begin shipping to customers in Q2 2026.
