The free version of RHN Satellite that does not require paying for an entitlement from Red Hat is called Spacewalk, at
Spacewalk: Free & Open Source Linux Systems Management. It's fully documented at
Spacewalk: Free & Open Source Linux Systems Management. It's normally used to support Fedora channels, but you can upload RHEL distributions or any other RPMS to it and set up channels.
Without a valid Satellite entitlement, you won't be able to subscribe to Red Hat Network to get the ongoing additions/changes/errata for RHEL, but you can load static content.
