IBflex® Scanning Receiver Supports
Unlicensed and Non-3GPP Frequency Bands
PCTEL, Inc. (Nasdaq:PCTI), a leader in Performance
Critical TELecom solutions, announced that its
IBflex® scanning receiver now supports testing of private LTE
networks on non-3GPP bands. LTE’s high throughput, low latency, and
reliability make it an extremely attractive solution for Industrial
IoT applications such as CCTV, smart trains, and advanced metering
infrastructure. As a result, railroads, factories, and utilities
want to deploy private LTE networks on spectrum they already own.
Currently, the telecommunications industry’s 3GPP (3rd Generation
Partnership Project) has only defined a limited number of standard
LTE bands. This lack of definition means that standard test
equipment cannot be used to test many private LTE networks. To
facilitate private LTE network deployments worldwide, the IBflex
now allows users to configure their own LTE bands anywhere within
its 10 MHz to 6 GHz range.
“Private LTE networks are ideally suited for process automation
and video monitoring, but proper network testing is essential to
ensure system reliability. The IBflex provides precise real-world
LTE coverage and quality data that can be used to design, deploy,
optimize, and monitor private networks,” said Jeff Miller, PCTEL’s
Senior Vice President and General Manager, RF Solutions. “Public
network operators can also use the IBflex’s user-configurable LTE
bands to conduct trials on newly available spectrum, before the
3GPP has defined bands,” added Miller.
