Vanu 3G Node B

An optimized 3G solution for off-grid markets.

Currently, 1.2 billion people lack connectivity. Most of these people live in off-grid markets: places where there is no power grid and no telecommunications. Vanu enables mobile network operators to profit from serving off-grid markets that could not be covered profitably using legacy telecommunication equipment and traditional business models.

Off-grid markets require special solutions to profitably and sustainably address this opportunity – an opportunity that is more than $5 billion, annually. Vanu’s pioneering software radio equipment lowers capital and operating expense to make the off-grid market addressable.

Vanu offers turnkey solutions that include deployment and operations services in addition to towers, transport, and radio access network equipment that is highly optimized for this market.
