Ubiik slashes cost to deploy pLTE networks in NZ with new products

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ubiik, a leading provider of private LTE networks announced today the release of a new base station and LTE router operating in New Zealand’s sub-GHz ISM band (915-928MHz) to support the growing needs of utilities, mining companies and IoT end users.

Having already launched the freeRAN™ base station in the United States, Canada and Australia, this latest release removes a key barrier to entry for pLTE in New Zealand – cost.  Offering the ability to deploy a private 5G LPWA network in the unlicensed 915MHz band without having to purchase spectrum opens up connectivity opportunities across a range of industries such as Utilities, Mining, Oil & Gas, Transport and Construction.

The New Zealand release of Ubiik’s flagship edge router, Pyxis 5G LPWA, also allows end users to connect their field devices to their private network. Offering long range, low power and Power-Over-Ethernet, this router is tailored for IoT deployments and is the ideal solution for stranded utility meters, EV chargers, sensors and security cameras.

Lightweight & low cost pLTE base station solution

Weighing less than 7kg, freeRAN™ is IP67 rated for outdoor mounting, supports PoE and has built-in cellular backhaul along with Ethernet, reducing the equipment footprint and allowing the device to be mounted on existing infrastructure.  The embedded EPC (core network) further lowers the cost of deployment compared with a high-end, macro-LTE solution where the centralised core can dramatically impact the total deployment cost.

Boost to throughput and security

Several technologies have traditionally been used in the unlicensed ISM band in New Zealand (e.g. LoRaWAN®, Wi-SUN®, Wi-Fi HaLow ™ ). However, deploying a private network with freeRAN™ and Pyxis 5GLPWA booststhroughput (>300kbps with Cat-M1) and security (with SIM authentication and encryption).  Furthermore, being fully 3GPP standards-compliant (Release 14 TDD LTE-M), freeRAN™ is compatible with communication modules supporting TDD LTE-M, while Pyxis 5G LPWA provides the ability to roam to public networks for resiliency, an option not available with these other technologies.

“This latest offer for the New Zealand market has been particularly appealing to utilities and industrial users who wish to combine a primary application such as metering or sensors with additional use cases such as security cameras or smart city applications,” says Clément Dieudonné, VP of Global Product Marketing at Ubiik. “The fact that a Ubiik network has been designed to be as quick to deploy as WiFi routers is also very attractive to customers who are keen to trial how a pLTE network could transform their business.”

The team from Ubiik Mimomax will have both the freeRAN™ base station and Pyxis 5GLPWA router on display at their booth #11 at Comms Connect NZ, June 4-6 in Christchurch. Detailed product information can also be found here.

Denim Reimagined for Home, Mobilious Brings Jeans to Your Living Room

LOS ANGELES, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Mobilious today unveils three denim-upholstered sofas—Nuvola, Fiorello, and Bluoro—that translate fashion’s most democratic fabric into living-room classics. Drawing on IndigoGuard™ Denim which elevates Turkey’s Bossa Textile expertise and OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification, these designs pay homage to three iconic silhouettes (the “Original Cloud” modular, Belgian track-arm slipcover, and a Scandinavian-style modular sofa by industry-renowned predecessors) while addressing the 2.16 million tonnes of annual denim waste through durable, plant-fiber construction. Mobilious taps into the Americana/Cowboycore renaissance sparked by American pop idols, positioning denim interiors not as a passing fad but as a sustainable, versatile décor statement.

Mobilious is dedicated to crafting the world's finest denim sofas.

Denim’s Double Impact: Style Meets Sustainability

Denim is fashion’s bedrock—yet over 2.16 million tonnes of jeans end up in landfills each year, accounting for a significant share of textile waste. By reimagining denim for the home, Mobilious answers growing calls for circular design: upcycled and durable upholstery that sidesteps shrinkage, sagging, and synthetic traces. The trend gained momentum when Etsy dubbed 2024 the “Year of Denim Interiors,” spotlighting over 16,000 home-decor listings in denim—proof that the fabric is migrating from closets to couches. While the use of the fabric itself hasn’t completely skyrocketed, denim hues are increasingly cropping up in 2025’s interiors. Meanwhile, pop-culture moments—from Cowboycore-themed music tours to American celebrities embracing denim—have fueled a broader Cowboycore revival in interiors, marrying rugged textures with modern living.

Mobilious’s Denim Sofa Collection

Mobilious reimagines iconic sofa silhouettes by integrating exclusive IndigoGuard™ denim, delivering a harmonious blend of timeless design and contemporary innovation. Experience the ultimate in comfort with Mobilious denim slipcovered cloud couches—washable, durable, and available in blue or white skirted styles.

Nuvola: The “Original Cloud” Reimagined with Denim

Nuvola honors the legendary Cloud Modular Sofa by an industry-leading predecessor with feather-and-down–wrapped cushions around high-resilience foam cores. Three slipcovered cubes in two depths enable endless configurations, balancing lounge-ready softness with structural support.

Mobilious is committed to surpassing this industry icon by developing the world’s finest denim sofa through its proprietary IndigoGuard™ Denim technology. This innovative fabric is engineered to deliver exceptional comfort while addressing common denim upholstery concerns such as shrinkage and fading. By combining cutting-edge textile advancements with timeless design, Mobilious aims to set a new standard in denim sofa craftsmanship.

The deep, plush seating and luxurious comfort of the original cloud sofa—long beloved by celebrities and design enthusiasts—serves as a springboard. Mobilious elevates the concept by integrating IndigoGuard™ Denim, offering not only superior comfort but also enhanced durability and aesthetic appeal.

Fiorello: Belgian Slipcovered Track-Arm Tribute

Fiorello channels the acclaimed Belgian Track-Arm Slipcovered Sofa of an industry-renowned predecessor—low-slung, deep-profiled, and finished with a removable denim skirt for easy care. Its pastel-washed cushions and softly angled arms evoke an Italian spring, marrying casual repose with gallery-worthy form.

Many users have praised Fiorello for its irresistible sink-in comfort—loved equally by adults, kids, and even pets. Designed as a true sanctuary after a long day, it’s the kind of sofa where drifting off comes more easily than in bed. Whether it’s movie night, story time, or a spontaneous afternoon nap, Fiorello transforms everyday living into effortless relaxation.

Bluoro: Scandinavian-Inspired Slipcover

Bluoro adapts the DNA of a beloved Scandinavian modular sofa—loose cushions, skirted base, and generous proportions—into a denim canvas accented with golden piping. The result is a versatile statement piece that complements coastal, Scandinavian, or modern-farmhouse schemes alike.

Bluoro’s refined silhouette and golden piping elevate denim to the realm of quiet luxury—proving that a denim sofa can indeed be a design indulgence. It’s not only supremely comfortable and built to last, but also a conversation-starter that draws admiration from every guest. Whether it’s a family gathering or an impromptu visit from friends, Bluoro never fails to impress.

IndigoGuard™ Denim and Bossa Textile & OEKO‑TEX® Credentials

Three new sofas of Mobilious are upholstered in Bossa’s renowned premium denim—hailing from Turkey’s heritage mill founded in 1951—and enhanced with our proprietary IndigoGuard™ finish. Every yard of Bossa denim carries OEKO‑TEX® Standard 100 (Product Class I) certification, ensuring each fabric is free from harmful substances, compliant with EU REACH regulations, and meets U.S. CPSIA lead‑limit standards. This plant‑fiber–rich textile delivers a natural, linen‑like hand without shrinkage or sag, making it ideally suited to high‑traffic living spaces.

IndigoGuard™ Denim elevates this heritage fabric through over three years of dedicated R&D. In 128 fabric trials, 60 thoughtfully adjusted chemical formulas, and 47 precision wash cycles, Mobilious perfected a dual‑phase stabilization process: a 60–90 °C pre‑wash deeply cleanses cotton fibers, followed by a tightly controlled dye‑fixation bath using acetic acid, sodium sulfate, and a unique polymer resin to lock in indigo pigments. The result is a breathable, anti‑static, and anti‑microbial upholstery that resists uneven fading, marbling, and “whiskering,” preserving deep, uniform color wash after wash.

Yet IndigoGuard™ retains denim’s soul: over time, it develops a rich, characterful patina—much like full‑grain leather that blossoms with age—so each sofa becomes uniquely yours. Together, Bossa’s OEKO‑TEX®–certified base and our IndigoGuard™ finish ensure Mobilious furniture stands at the forefront of sustainable luxury and enduring style.

Capturing the Denim Decor Moment

Trend authorities forecast denim’s lasting interior appeal: its deep navy palette fosters calm, its rugged weave endures high traffic, and its mix-and-match neutrality plays well with virtually any décor. Mobilious‘s launch arrives as design-minded consumers seek pieces that meld fashion pedigree with responsible manufacturing—proof that denim’s next chapter belongs in the living room.

The three new IndigoGuard™ denim sofas are now available for purchase at the Mobilious official online store: https://mobilious.com/. Mobilious invites you to explore these pieces and bring effortless style and lasting comfort to your living room—transform your space with Mobilious today!
