Business Wire
PCTEL, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCTI), a leader in Performance
Critical TELecom solutions, announced at the DAS and
Small Cells Congress today LTE-LAA (Licensed Assisted Access)
testing capabilities on its IBflex® scanning receiver. LAA
supplements LTE network capacity by enabling carriers to use freely
available unlicensed spectrum along with their licensed spectrum
holdings. LTE-LAA operates in noisy, uncontrolled environments,
where it must share spectrum with services such as Wi-Fi. IBflex
scanning receivers accurately measure LTE-LAA coverage and signal
quality so that wireless carriers can verify and optimize their
LTE-LAA deployments.
“LTE-LAA is another step in the evolution to 5G. It is essential
to enabling Gigabit-rate download speeds by leveraging freely
available higher band spectrum using small cell infrastructure,”
said Jeff Miller, Senior Vice President and General Manager of
PCTEL's RF Solutions group. “PCTEL’s scanning receivers give
operators a full view of the RF environment, so that they can
successfully deploy LTE-LAA and prepare their infrastructure for
5G,” added Miller.
IBflex scanning receivers support LTE-LAA measurements
worldwide, including on 5 GHz and CBRS spectrum. The IBflex enables
simultaneous testing of multiple technologies, including LTE MIMO
and LTE Advanced Pro features such as LTE-LAA, NB-IoT, and LTE-M.
IBflex scanners are designed with low power consumption, a hot-swap
battery system, and Bluetooth® connectivity for ease of use indoors
or out.
PCTEL will display the IBflex and other test and measurement
tools, June 12-13 at DAS and Small Cells Congress, booth #200.
