­CGE Energy's (CGEI) Subsidiary Aradatum Introduces Next Generation Wireless Tower Infrastructure to Disrupt $500 Billion 5G Market
 

Brighton, MI -- March 25, 2021 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- CGE Energy, Inc.'s (OTCPink: CGEI) subsidiary Aradatum, Inc. has introduced the world's first truly self-powered macro cell tower that can be placed literally anywhere. Aradatum is a disruptive technology company that dares to go where others don't. Taking a unique approach to modernizing telecom infrastructure, the start-up's self-powered towers give wireless pioneers and mobile and virtual network operators (MNOs/MVNOs) access to previously unreached and strategic locations needed to optimize their advanced applications of 5G, fixed wireless access (FWA), Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS), neutral host, private networks, and edge computing.

Aradatum is the culmination of 11 years of product development, headed by a team of individuals across varying backgrounds with a foundation in wireless connectivity and power technologies. Formed in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company dedicated itself to bringing communications infrastructure to areas that lack connectivity and to open up the benefits of living, working, and playing in a connected world to everyone.

Over the past decade, CGE Energy has developed self-powered infrastructure technologies, including an innovative vertical-axis wind turbine that has received 6 patents within the United States and internationally. To focus squarely on providing self-powered cell towers to the telecom and technology markets, CGE Energy formed Aradatum, Inc. as a subsidiary for this wireless tower application, with future plans to spin-out Aradatum to be publicly traded.

To deliver the promise of 5G, there are more than 300,000 additional cell towers needed to be constructed in the U.S. This will require a $500 Billion investment in new 5G infrastructure and Aradatum uniquely offers a solution to the geographic and power challenges that have limited the reach of next-generation wireless networks to date.

Aradaum offers multiple strategic advantages to traditional cell towers. The cost of running power lines average $400,000+ per mile. Aradatum eliminates the need to run power lines to remote areas. With modular components, site construction times are reduced and the tower site can be prepped and fully installed within a few days-- no cranes are required and no concrete is poured onsite. Aradatum's towers handle significant KW power loads and provide 3-phase power. Power lines run to existing cell sites are single phase and only enable 5-10 KW of power, which does not support the 3-phase requirements of edge computing and EV charging.

"Our brand is focused in two specific areas," said Larry Leete, President of Aradatum, "Our first focus is bringing communications and connectivity to areas that don't have access to broadband, especially in those environments that are off the traditional path in more rural and suburban areas." Today, 157 million people in the U.S. do not use the internet at broadband speeds, while 45 million people don't have access to broadband at all.

Aradatum saw a need for a terrestrial solution to this rural connectivity issue. Google tried Loon, sending balloons into the atmosphere to spread signal. That's been scrapped. Facebook had Aquila, solar drones circling in the sky. That project has been shelved. SpaceX is pressing Starlink, a series of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites peppering the skies. They're pushing beta tests now. With Aradatum, bridging the digital divide doesn't involve launching things into the atmosphere.

Leete continued, "Our second area of focus is supporting and enhancing the next generation of applications that will drive digital transformation."

Powered by clean, renewable energy with energy storage, Aradatum's tower design is an environmentally responsible way to meet the growing demand for connectivity and for MNOs and MVNOs to attain targeted and specific renewable energy goals. With multiple scalable energy sources, the tower system can handle the MNO's cell site energy needs to provide 99.999% network uptime. Since Aradatum's towers don't rely on the electric grid, they bring in a level of confidence that the communication grid would still stand during a brown-out or black-out. 

"Our towers completely redefine where a cell tower can go and how they're powered. Energy is the highest of all operating expenses for telecom businesses today," said Paul Schneider, VP of Marketing and Business Development, "As more and more MNOs and MVNOs are looking towards 'green power', we designed our self-powered macro-towers to meet this need. We're excited to help deploy next-generation connectivity to every inch of the earth."

Aradatum empowers MNOs, MVNOs, and tech companies to cross previously impenetrable barriers to bring next-generation applications to everyone, including game changing technologies like self-driving vehicles, robotic surgery, AI, Robotics, M2M, Machine Learning, AR/VR, e-sports, Big Data, IoT, holography, and edge colocation.

Aradatum is currently in a scale-up phase, with a sales network established to build pre-sales for deliveries beginning in 2022, readying the towers for commercial production with their manufacturing partner Roush, and speaking to investors to expedite their growth.
