Description

The Baicells Nova 430H ships with FreedomFi-provisioned firmware, locking it to the Helium ecosystem and preventing use with standard LTE EPCs or CBRS deployments. This restriction makes it unsuitable for WISPs, private LTE operators, or anyone wanting to integrate with non-Helium LTE infrastructure.

Our Edge Mile remote conversion service unlocks the 430H and flashes it with official Baicells Nova 430i firmware, making it a fully CBRS-compatible eNodeB ready for use with your EPC and configuration. One purchase is required per unit converted. No shipping is necessary — the process is completed remotely via AnyDesk.

 

How It Works

1. Purchase the service (one per device).

2. Within 1 business day, an Edge Mile consultant will contact you to schedule your remote session.

3. At your scheduled time, launch AnyDesk and allow access to the network where your 430H is reachable.

4. We unlock and reflash your radio to 430i firmware, then confirm the firmware load is complete.

 

What This Does

• Converts Baicells Nova 430H to 430i firmware

• Removes all FreedomFi restrictions

• Enables use with standard CBRS EPCs and LTE configurations

• Process takes 15–30 minutes per unit

 

What This Does Not Include

• No testing or validation of the unit

• No warranty or guarantee of unit condition or functionality

• No additional feature licenses (e.g., Carrier Aggregation, Split Mode)

• No refunds under any circumstance

• Must be scheduled within 30 days of purchase

 

Additional licenses for CA, Split Mode, or Baicells cloud services must be purchased separately through an authorized Baicells distributor.

 

Important Notes

• You are responsible for ensuring the radio is reachable and functional on your local network

• Only the firmware flash is performed — configuration and post-flash testing are not included

• Conversion will void any remaining FreedomFi warranty and remove Helium compatibility
