Apogee Converge™: The Next-Gen Software-Defined Phased Array Antenna

The world’s first software-defined phased array antenna platform that combines Private LTE (CBRS) and Wi-Fi 5 & 6 into a single, high-performance array.

Connectivity Without Compromise

Apogee Converge™ is not merely an evolution of wireless technology—it’s a thoughtful integration of Wi-Fi (specifically the 5GHz and emerging 6GHz bands) with Private LTE (PLTE, Band 48 CBRS) to optimize enterprise networks. Rather than forcing organizations to choose between Wi-Fi and PLTE, Converge leverages the strengths of each, creating cost-effective, high-performance wireless networks.

The Power of Convergence

By combining CBRS with 5GHz Wi-Fi in a software-defined phased array, enterprises can optimize connectivity for different use cases while reducing total infrastructure costs. This convergence allows organizations to leverage both technologies' strengths in a single platform, providing unprecedented flexibility and coverage efficiency.

Patented Asymmetric Gain™ Technology

Our revolutionary Asymmetric Gain™ technology delivers 9dBi transmit gain while providing up to 24dBi receive gain, maintaining strict FCC compliance while enabling low-power devices to achieve connectivity at triple the distance of legacy antennas. This breakthrough enables true enterprise-scale deployments.

Optimized for
Every Use Case

The 5GHz Wi-Fi band delivers optimal performance for high-bandwidth applications like security cameras, AR/VR, and data-intensive operations, while CBRS provides the perfect solution for secure, low-latency IoT devices, mission-critical systems, and private LTE networks.

Moving Beyond the False Wi-Fi vs. PLTE Dichotomy

In networking circles, the debate often simplifies to choosing between Wi-Fi and Private LTE. However, viewing these as competing technologies oversimplifies the challenge. Each has unique strengths and limitations—PLTE excels with high-density, low-latency, secure applications, while Wi-Fi provides a significant swath of license-free spectrum suitable for high-demand applications.

Integrating both technologies creates substantial operational advantages. Enterprises gain the flexibility to allocate the appropriate technology to each use case, optimizing infrastructure efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

The Economic Logic of Converging Wi-Fi and PLTE

Band 48 PLTE is highly effective in managing numerous simultaneous low-latency connections, such as IoT devices and critical voice traffic. But PLTE channels are typically narrow (10-20MHz), limiting their suitability for bandwidth-intensive or unpredictable traffic profiles, such as surveillance video streams or public Wi-Fi access.

Conversely, Wi-Fi’s expansive 5GHz band—with about 650MHz of available spectrum and channels up to 80MHz wide—handles high-demand applications more effectively. Channels within the 5GHz band (e.g., UNII Band 3) provide ample, non-overlapping bandwidth, ideal for data-intensive tasks.

By combining these technologies strategically at the network edge, Apogee Converge™ enables Wi-Fi and CBRS networks to operate simultaneously through the same antenna array without interference.

Traffic segregation occurs at the base station and access point level, ensuring each network can optimally handle its respective applications independently. Band 48 PLTE manages predictable, critical applications efficiently, while Wi-Fi accommodates higher bandwidth, more variable-demand tasks.

This approach significantly reduces infrastructure overhead and preserves optimal performance for all networked applications.

Comprehensive, Uncompromising Coverage

Apogee’s phased array technology underpins this convergence, simultaneously propagating Band 48 CBRS and 5GHz Wi-Fi signals across extensive coverage areas. The platform leverages patented Asymmetrical Gain™ technology, substantially enhancing reception capabilities for low-powered devices, and advanced filtering to ensure clean, interference-free signals at extended ranges.

Apogee Converge provides enterprises with a balanced, intelligent, and efficient approach to wireless infrastructure deployment.

It’s about thoughtful integration rather than costly redundancy.
