Apeiroon develops portable communication systems for defence, emergency response, and temporary network environments. These applications require reliable wireless connectivity in situations where fixed infrastructure is unavailable, damaged, or impractical to deploy.

Typical use cases include first responder operations, military missions, and temporary event or industrial networks. In such environments, communication systems must operate independently, be rapidly deployable, and maintain high performance under strict constraints related to size, power consumption, and environmental conditions.

The key challenge lies in delivering full 4G/5G network capabilities within compact, mobile platforms such as backpacks or vehicle-mounted systems.

Solution: RANsemi baseband SoC enables compact 5G systems
To address these requirements, Apeiroon selected the RNS802 5G baseband system-on-chip from RANsemi as the core processing platform for its deployable network systems.

The SoC integrates physical layer processing, hardware acceleration, and system flexibility within a single, power-efficient component. This level of integration reduces the need for additional hardware, which is critical for portable and ruggedized deployments.

Support for both 4G and 5G standards allows Apeiroon to deploy adaptable communication systems compatible with a wide range of devices and operational scenarios.

Deployment: Integration into portable and vehicle-based platforms
The RANsemi-based platform has been implemented across Apeiroon’s portfolio of deployable systems, including backpack-based units for dismounted personnel and vehicle-mounted solutions designed for mobile command and relay operations.

These systems enable rapid deployment of complete wireless networks directly in the field, without reliance on external infrastructure. The compact footprint and energy efficiency of the baseband SoC support operation in battery-powered and space-constrained environments.

The collaboration between RANsemi and Apeiroon facilitated the integration of the baseband technology into systems designed for real-world tactical conditions.

Results: Reduced footprint and improved deployment flexibility
By adopting RANsemi’s integrated baseband SoC, Apeiroon achieves a reduction in system complexity, size, and power consumption while maintaining the performance required for mission-critical communications.

This enables:

• Deployment of full 4G/5G networks in highly portable formats
• Faster setup times for emergency and tactical operations
• Greater operational autonomy in infrastructure-limited environments

The solution supports the growing demand for deployable, resilient wireless networks across defence, public safety, and private industrial applications.
