Va., July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Kajeet®, a leading provider of managed connectivity
solutions, partnered with Texas A&M
University Technology Services (TAMU TS) to showcase the

In a groundbreaking initiative, Kajeet worked closely with TAMU
TS to use the university's band 41 license. The project involved
the deployment of Radio Access Network equipment, setting up a
proof-of-concept pilot network that demonstrates the robust
capabilities of private cellular networks in an academic
environment. This strategic deployment addressed specific
connectivity challenges faced by the university, particularly
within the transportation services department.
Historically, TAMU TS deployed then removed temporary Wi-Fi
hotspots for automated parking management, which requires
significant labor hours. In response, Kajeet and TAMU TS
implemented a solution that leveraged handheld scanners to process
automated payments seamlessly over a private cellular radio using
TAMU TS's EBS spectrum. This innovative approach not only
stabilized the payment system but also significantly enhanced
operational efficiency, particularly during times of commercial
cellular network congestion.
The successful partnership between Kajeet and Texas A&M University Technology Services
highlights the transformative potential of specialized wireless
solutions in supporting and advancing the mission of educational
institutions.
Ben Weintraub, CEO of Kajeet,
remarked on the partnership, "Our collaboration with Texas A&M University Technology Services team
exemplifies the impact that advanced connectivity solutions can
have on large-scale operations. The success at the George Strait concert was a significant
validation of our technology's capability to handle high-stakes,
high-volume events with ease."
