A standalone 5G SBBD on a 4.5 m light stand blanketed an entire salt flat with private 5G — streaming UHD at 80 Mbit/s to a Haivision StreamHub VM running on the node, with latency dropping to 13–16 ms.
We took a single 5G SBBD out to the ancient salt flat at Anavysos, south of Athens, to answer one question: how much ground can one node really cover in a deliberately hard setup?
The system ran fully standalone — one SBBD on a 4.5 m light stand, powered from an SBBP on camera batteries, with Starlink as the only backhaul. The flat sits about a metre below sea level, so the effective antenna height was just 2.5–3 m from the surrounding ground. That is a worst-case mounting for coverage, and exactly why we chose it.
Using only the integrated directional antenna (40° horizontal, 11 dBi) on n77 at 3 950 MHz with 100 MHz of bandwidth, the node blanketed the entire measured area — 1.1 km², a 1.3 km span — with only minimal glitches, even while we moved through the zone on a motorbike.
Throughout the trial a Haivision StreamHub ran as a VM directly on the SBBD edge server, ingesting a UHD feed at 80 Mbit/s with 100 ms encoder latency. For stretches of more than a minute and a half the system delivered 13–16 ms of network latency before settling back to the typical 20–30 ms — extraordinary for a system this size.
The full measured coverage polygon, antenna position and test configuration are on the Deploy page.

Read articleThese General Terms and Conditions of Sale (the “Terms”) apply exclusively to all quotations, sales, and deliveries of products and related services by AcriPlex I.K.E., Voukourestiou 18, 10671 Athens, Greece, ΓΕΜΗ No. 187020701000, VAT EL802995924 (“AcriPlex”) to business customers (“Buyer”). Terms of Buyer that deviate from, conflict with, or supplement these Terms are expressly rejected and do not apply, even if AcriPlex performs without express objection. Sales are made to businesses only. Sales concluded by AcriPlex’s U.S. affiliate are governed by that entity’s terms of sale.
Quotations are valid until the validity date stated in them, otherwise for thirty (30) days from issue, and are subject to prior sale. Technical data, illustrations, and documents accompanying a quotation are approximate and non-binding unless expressly designated as binding. A contract is formed only upon AcriPlex’s written order confirmation or delivery of the goods, whichever occurs first. Obvious errors and omissions in quotations, confirmations, and invoices may be corrected by AcriPlex (E&OE).
Prices are net, in the currency stated in the quotation, and exclude VAT and any other taxes, customs duties, levies, packaging, shipping, and insurance, all of which are for Buyer’s account unless expressly included. Where Buyer claims a VAT exemption (intra-Community supply or export), Buyer shall provide a valid VAT identification number and/or proof of export; failing this, AcriPlex may invoice the applicable VAT.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is due in advance of production or shipment, in cleared funds and without deduction. In the event of late payment, AcriPlex may charge statutory default interest for commercial transactions (Directive 2011/7/EU as implemented in Greek law) plus reasonable recovery costs, and may suspend performance or require security for outstanding deliveries. Buyer may set off, or withhold payment for, only counterclaims that are undisputed or finally adjudicated.
Unless otherwise agreed, deliveries are made Incoterms® 2020 FCA AcriPlex’s facility, Athens, Greece. Lead times are good-faith estimates and, where advance payment is agreed, run from receipt of the agreed prepayment and of all information and materials required from Buyer. Partial deliveries are permitted to a reasonable extent. Agreed lead times are extended by the duration of any force-majeure event or any delay attributable to Buyer; a delay does not entitle Buyer to damages or termination unless AcriPlex remains in default after a reasonable written grace period.
Risk passes in accordance with the agreed Incoterm. Delivered goods remain the property of AcriPlex until full payment of the purchase price and all ancillary claims arising from the business relationship. Until then, Buyer shall store the goods identifiably as AcriPlex’s property, keep them insured against the usual risks, and neither pledge them nor assign them as security. Resale in the ordinary course of business is permitted; in that case Buyer hereby assigns to AcriPlex, by way of security, its resulting claims against its customers up to the amount owed to AcriPlex.
Buyer shall inspect the goods promptly upon delivery. Apparent defects, transit damage, or short deliveries must be notified in writing within eight (8) business days of delivery; hidden defects must be notified promptly upon discovery and within the Warranty Period. Failing timely notice, the goods are deemed accepted with respect to such defects.
AcriPlex provides the limited hardware warranty set out in the AcriPlex Limited Hardware Warranty in effect at the date of the quotation, which is incorporated into these Terms. Every system additionally includes Gold-level support during its first year; optional Silver and Gold support plans are available thereafter, as described on the same page. Except as stated therein, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, no further warranties, express or implied, are given.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW: (A) ACRIPLEX SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS, LOSS OF PROFIT, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, DATA, OR USE, OR FOR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; AND (B) ACRIPLEX’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH A CONTRACT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE PRICE PAID BY BUYER FOR THE GOODS OR SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
These limitations do not apply in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence, injury to life, body, or health, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory applicable law, including mandatory product-liability legislation.
Software embedded in or supplied with the products is licensed, not sold. AcriPlex grants Buyer a non-exclusive, non-transferable license — transferable only together with the product — to use such software solely as integrated in, and for the operation of, the product. Buyer shall not copy (except one backup copy), modify, distribute, sublicense, or reverse engineer the software, except to the extent such a restriction is prohibited by mandatory law. Open-source components are governed by their respective licenses, which prevail for those components. Licenses terminate upon Buyer’s material breach.
All intellectual-property rights in the products, software, documentation, designs, and know-how remain with AcriPlex or its licensors. No rights are granted beyond those expressly stated in these Terms. Buyer shall not remove or alter product markings, serial numbers, or proprietary notices.
The products, software, and technology may be subject to export-control and sanctions laws, including Regulation (EU) 2021/821 and the U.S. Export Administration Regulations. Buyer shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, export, re-export, transfer, or make available the products to destinations, entities, or persons, or for end-uses, prohibited by such laws without the required authorizations, and shall provide end-use and end-user information upon request. AcriPlex’s obligations are conditional upon the grant of any required licenses; refusal or delay by the competent authorities does not constitute a default by AcriPlex.
Radio products operate in frequency bands whose use is subject to national authorization. Buyer is solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining all licenses, registrations, and authorizations required for installation and operation in the country of use — including, for example, CBRS SAS registration in the United States or national local-5G licensing in EU member states — and for operating the products in accordance with applicable law and the granted parameters. AcriPlex makes no representation that operation is permitted in any particular jurisdiction. Certification information for the products is available on request.
Products are configured or built to order. After order confirmation, cancellations or changes require AcriPlex’s written consent and reimbursement of the costs incurred; AcriPlex may charge a reasonable cancellation or restocking fee of up to 20% of the order value. Returns of non-defective goods are accepted only by prior written agreement.
Neither party is liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural events, epidemics, war, terrorism, cyber-attacks, labor disputes, acts of authorities, refusal or delay of export licenses, energy or transport disruptions, and supplier failures caused by such events. If the event persists for more than ninety (90) days, either party may terminate the affected order without liability, against reimbursement of AcriPlex’s costs for work already performed.
Quotations, prices, and technical information disclosed by AcriPlex are confidential, may be used by Buyer solely for evaluating and executing the transaction, and may not be disclosed to third parties without AcriPlex’s prior written consent.
These Terms and all contracts concluded under them are governed by the laws of Greece, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). The exclusive place of jurisdiction is Athens, Greece; AcriPlex may, however, also bring proceedings against Buyer at Buyer’s seat.
Buyer may not assign a contract or claims under it without AcriPlex’s written consent. If any provision is or becomes invalid, the remaining provisions stay in effect, and the invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid one that comes closest to its commercial intent. Amendments and side agreements must be made in writing. The English version of these Terms prevails over any translation. These Terms, the quotation, and AcriPlex’s order confirmation constitute the entire agreement for the relevant order.
AcriPlex I.K.E. (“AcriPlex”) warrants to the original purchaser (“Buyer”) that AcriPlex-branded hardware products (the “Products”) will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use in accordance with the applicable documentation for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of delivery (the “Warranty Period”). Cables and accessories are warranted for ninety (90) days from delivery. This Warranty is granted to business customers only and is transferable only together with the Product.
Every AcriPlex system includes Gold-level support for the first twelve months at no additional charge, as described in § 08 below — including the advance-replacement loaner service and the live support line. Optional Silver and Gold plans are available from the second year onward.
Software embedded in or delivered with the Products is licensed, not sold. AcriPlex warrants that such software will substantially conform to the applicable documentation for ninety (90) days from delivery. Maintenance updates and security patches are provided through an active support plan — included at Gold level during the first year, and thereafter under an active Silver or Gold plan. AcriPlex does not warrant that software operation will be uninterrupted or error-free.
If a Product fails on first use within thirty (30) days of delivery and AcriPlex confirms the failure, AcriPlex will prioritize repair or replacement at its own cost, including shipping in both directions. In addition, under the Gold-level support included in year one, an advance-replacement loaner is dispatched within two (2) business days as described in § 08.
AcriPlex’s sole obligation, and Buyer’s exclusive remedy, under this Warranty is, at AcriPlex’s option, repair, replacement (with new or refurbished parts of equal or better performance), or refund of the purchase price against return of the Product. Repaired or replaced Products are warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period or ninety (90) days from return shipment, whichever is longer.
Warranty service requires a Return Material Authorization (“RMA”) number issued by AcriPlex before return; contact info@acriplex.net. Systems delivered in the United States are serviced at AcriPlex’s New York laboratory; systems delivered in the European Union are serviced in Athens, Greece — so RMA shipments for US and EU customers involve no customs formalities (domestic or intra-EU transport).
Except in confirmed Dead-on-Arrival cases (§ 04), shipping to and from the servicing laboratory is arranged and paid by the customer, in the original or equivalent protective packaging, at the customer’s risk. For customers outside the EU and US, AcriPlex advises on the appropriate customs procedure for repair shipments (such as inward/outward processing relief). Products received without an RMA number may be refused. If no defect is found, AcriPlex may charge a reasonable inspection and handling fee plus return shipping.
This Warranty does not cover:
From the second year, two annually renewable plans are offered, priced on the net hardware price of the covered system as invoiced. Enrollment is possible at any time for a twelve-month term; renewal must be requested at least five (5) working days before the plan anniversary. Enrollment or re-enrollment after a coverage lapse is subject to a billable unit inspection.

Loaner terms (Gold). The loaner is dispatched from the customer’s servicing laboratory in an equivalent or better functional configuration and must be returned within six (6) working days of receiving the repaired system. For customers outside the EU and US, the loaner is supplied under an ATA Carnet, with AcriPlex preparing the paperwork. The customer is responsible for the loaner’s care; loss or damage is billable.
Shipping to and from the servicing laboratory is arranged and paid by the customer under both plans. Plan contents and rates may be updated for future terms; the terms in effect at enrollment or renewal apply.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THIS WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT; ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES THAT CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD.
Nothing in this Warranty excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory applicable law.
