DRAKON Multi-Band 5G Dome

Information Sheet (get PDF)

Military-Grade Standalone Private 4G–5G System

The DRAKON Multi-Band 5G Dome is a fully self-contained private cellular network delivering fast, secure 4G LTE and 5G connectivity operating in TDD/FDD modes in a single compact unit. With Integrated RAN and Core Network, it provides a true “network-in-a-box” capability for rapid, on the move and quick-halt operations.

Engineered for flexibility, the system supports coverage from short-range tactical bubbles to multi-kilometer areas, making it ideal for quick-halt setups, vehicle-mounted missions, and mobile field operations. A streamlined GUI enables fast configuration with minimal training. Its wide multi-band support ensures global operability and broad UE interoperability, giving users maximum freedom across diverse environments. The system’s dynamic band scanning further enhances resilience by
avoiding or countering active jamming.

The DRAKON 5G ecosystem includes an eSIM as a service for simple onboarding of users and provisioning of Private Networks. This system is compatible with DRAKON or any private 5G system. DRAKON Instant Connect adds an Innovative Zero-Trust eSIM provisioning method that requires no prior user onboarding — ideal for dynamic, security-critical tactical missions where speed and security are paramount. Together, these capabilities make the DRAKON 5G a globally deployable, highly adaptable, and security focused private 5G solution built for modern operational demands for the warfighter.

Capabilities

  • Integrated 4G/5G Platform — All-in-one multi-band 3GPP-compliant system with fully integrated Radio and Core functions.
  • Frequency Scanning — Continuously measures per-frequency occupancy and detects interference to optimize channel selection.
  • Interference Management — Automatically configures the system to operate on unused frequencies for improved resilience.
  • Concealment Mode — Masks cell-tower identity to reduce adversarial targeting while preserving full private 5G connectivity.
  • Flexible Backhaul Options — Supports multiple transport layers (EDGE Lite, commercial 4G/5G, commercial or military SatCom, tactical radios) to share services across private 5G domes.
  • Codemettle GUI — Simple easy to use GUI for rapid deployment with minimal training.
  • Seamless Mobility — Users can move between private 5G networks without changing device configurations.
  • E-SIM as a Service: Simple onboarding of users and network provisioning for Private 5G.
  • DRAKON Instant Connect — Eliminates the need to pre-provision IMSIs, enabling rapid onboarding of unplanned users (drones, tablets, smartphones, allies, etc.).
  • Radio Intelligent Controller RIC — Lite – AI-driven frequency and power control, dynamically optimizes radio resources to boost cell-edge performance
    and reduce inter-bubble interference.
