CableFree UNITY – Unified Wireless Connectivity

One Solution. Multiple Technologies. Total Connectivity.

CableFree UNITY brings together multiple wireless technologies into one flexible, integrated connectivity solution. Combining Free Space Optics (FSO), millimetre wave (MMW), microwave radio, conventional radio links and more, UNITY enables organisations to build high-capacity, resilient wireless networks tailored to their specific requirements.

From dense urban environments and enterprise campuses to industrial facilities, transport infrastructure and remote locations, CableFree UNITY provides the flexibility to connect sites, buildings and critical infrastructure without relying solely on fibre-optic cabling.

By combining complementary wireless technologies, UNITY offers new possibilities for network design, helping organisations achieve the right balance of capacity, coverage, resilience and cost.

The Benefits of CableFree UNITY

Multiple Technologies. One Integrated Solution.

UNITY brings together different wireless technologies to create a cohesive connectivity solution. Select the most appropriate technology for each link, application and environment, with the flexibility to combine technologies within a wider network architecture.

Resilient Connectivity

Build resilience into your network through parallel wireless links and alternative connection paths. For example, FSO and MMW links can operate along the same route, providing complementary transmission options. Where the network is engineered appropriately, this approach can improve service continuity and reduce dependence on a single link technology.

High Capacity and Performance

Combine high-capacity FSO, MMW and microwave links to support demanding applications, including data backhaul, building-to-building connectivity, enterprise networks, video transport and industrial communications.

Rapid Deployment Without Fibre

Establish wireless links between buildings, rooftops, towers and remote sites without the delays, disruption and civil engineering costs often associated with installing new fibre. Wireless connectivity can be particularly valuable where routes are difficult to access or rights of way are limited.

Flexible Network Design

Every deployment is different. UNITY allows network designers to select technologies according to distance, line of sight, available spectrum, capacity requirements, site conditions and resilience objectives. Different wireless technologies can be combined to meet the needs of individual links and the wider network.

Scalable for Future Growth

Start with the connectivity you need today and extend the network as requirements evolve. Add links, connect additional sites and integrate further wireless technologies to support growing demand and changing operational priorities.

Connectivity Across Diverse Environments

CableFree UNITY is suited to a wide range of applications, including:

• Smart cities: Connect buildings, street infrastructure, sensors and public services.
• Enterprise and campus networks: Provide high-capacity links between buildings and facilities.
• Industrial sites: Connect operational systems, monitoring equipment and remote infrastructure.
• Telecommunications: Support wireless backhaul, network extensions and site interconnection.
• Transport and utilities: Link distributed infrastructure where fibre deployment is challenging.
• Temporary and remote deployments: Establish connectivity for events, projects and hard-to-reach locations.

How UNITY Works

CableFree UNITY uses a combination of wireless technologies, selected to suit each connection within the network.

• Free Space Optics (FSO): Optical wireless transmission for high-capacity, line-of-sight links.
• Millimetre Wave (MMW): High-throughput radio connectivity over suitable short-range and medium-range paths.
• Microwave: Established point-to-point wireless connectivity for network backhaul and site interconnection.
• Radio and additional technologies: Extend connectivity options to meet specific coverage, capacity and deployment requirements.

These technologies can be deployed individually or combined within a wider network. In suitable configurations, parallel links can provide additional resilience, with each link designed around the environmental conditions and performance requirements of the route.

Why CableFree UNITY?

CableFree: Wireless Excellence brings together wireless communications expertise and a broad range of connectivity technologies to help organisations solve complex networking challenges.

UNITY provides a flexible approach to network design: rather than relying on a single wireless technology for every situation, it enables the right combination of technologies to be used where each delivers the greatest value.

The result is a versatile foundation for high-capacity, resilient and adaptable wireless connectivity.

Connect What Matters

Whether you are connecting buildings across a city, extending an enterprise network, linking industrial facilities or delivering connectivity where fibre is impractical, CableFree UNITY offers a flexible approach to wireless networking.

Component-based Wireless Solution: Ultimate in Flexibility

A CableFree UNITY solution comprises these “building blocks” as a flexible component-based solution integrated into a single networking infrastructure.  By adding on these elements as building blocks, a bespoke solution is provided for each customer network.  Unity advantages include:

• Longer Range in all weather zones
• Higher Capacity: Up to 40Gbps today
• Higher Availability: Up to 99.9999% or higher – “better than fibre”
• No single-point-of-failure
• “Pay as you grow” scalability & future proof upgrades

Extend Capacity, Range and Availability in all weather conditions

A UNITY solution achieves weather independence by using complementary technologies over the transmission path, where effects such as tropical rain, snow, fog and dust storms are overcome by ensuring that sufficient active live paths are available.  Current existing links using a single traditional wireless technology have inherent weaknesses based on the electromagnetic spectrum wavelength that it uses – for example light-based FSO is negatively impacted by fog, while radio-based Millimeter Wave frequencies are susceptible to rain fade. Combining diverse, complementary technologies allows CableFree to overcome this using Wide Wavelength Diversity (WWD) and ensure that the combined link achieves uptime of 100% or as close as physically possible.

UNITY: Increased Capacity

The combined link technologies gives increased capacity.  For example, adding 1Gbps MMW and 1Gbps FSO gives 2Gbps.  Each path may have 99.99% uptime – which means 2Gbps during 99.99% of the time, dropping to 1Gbps for the few minutes per year.
In practice, 2x or 3x capacity increase can be achieved using UNITY.

UNITY: Extends Range

Using diverse wireless media with complimentary fade mechanisms: for example MMW fades in rain but not fog, FSO fades in fog but not rain. The two never occur together.  Radio links are unaffected by rain.  A composite UNITY link can offer the longest range compared to any one technology alone.
In practice, 2x or 3x range extension can be achieved using UNITY.

UNITY: Increased Availability

Using diverse media ensures highest possible availability.  No one failure mechanism exists with UNITY: Each path may have for example 99.99% uptime – but with complimentary fade mechanisms, the composite link will attain far higher availability as one link path will always be “up” even if the other experiences a few seconds or minutes outage.
In practice, 99.999%, 99.9999% or higher can easily be achieved using UNITY.

UNITY: Link Intelligence

Software Defined Networking (SDN) in CableFree UNITY is used to ensure that the user network traffic is prioritised over the available airside bandwidth in a highly customisable, intelligent manner and ensures simplicity, flexibility, transparency and great control of user traffic and experience.

Easy to upgrade and maintain

CableFree UNITY offers huge advantage over attempts by vendors to make “one box” solutions: if any element of the solution requires replacement, upgrade, then it can be exchanged or added without affecting customer network service over the existing UNITY elements.

Fully Available and Shipping

CableFree UNITY is already shipping and fully available worldwide through Approved CableFree Partners.  The solutions are used extensively by Corporates, 4G/LTE Network Operators, Government, Banking, Healthcare, Education and Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) networks.
