Compact, complete LTE system is designed for
private mobile networks
TORONTO, Aug. 15, 2016 /CNW/ - Redline Communications
(www.rdlcom.com) Group Inc. (TSX: RDL), a leading provider of
mission-critical wireless network solutions, announced today that
its new standards-based wide-area wireless network solution, the
RDL-LTE is now available.
The RDL-LTE system is a complete end-to-end LTE-based mobile
wireless network intended for use by organizations who require a
secure, private LTE-based network to support voice, data, video and
Internet-of Things (IoT) communications.
This newest member of Redline's wireless family combines
Redline's RDL-3100/5000 backhaul products with a ruggedized eNodeB
(built to meet HAZLOC or hazardous location specifications), and a
simplified eUTRAN Core (EPC) to allow 3GPP compatible user
equipment and Push-to-Talk (PTT) access to the Redline private
mobile network across large geographies.
"The RDL-LTE wireless network combines the low-power consumption
and extended range functionality of Redline's backhaul products
with the convenience of standards-based LTE-supported user devices
into an affordable private network solution that can start small
and scale as our customers' needs grow," said Rodney Cronin, Redline's vice president of
product management. "This makes the RDL-LTE system very well suited
for wide-area, low-density networks, like those used for public
safety, rural communities, military operations and oil fields."
The RDL-LTE network gives organizations an alternative to public
LTE network services provided by telecom providers, as it combines
the benefits of a standards-based system with the ability to
control the quality of service across the network. This ensures
that the network owner has the kind of access they need, when they
need it, and without usage fees.
The RDL-LTE has undergone numerous field trials and has most
recently been deployed in a three cell pilot network in the
USA. Kentucky-based Redline partner
Comtronics Inc. has been directly involved in this pilot
network rollout, and president and CEO David Fried stated "We are in the initial phase
of testing Redline's LTE Band 14 solution in a three cell site
configuration. We've experienced clear and crisp PTT
conversations, demonstrated end user device tracking and
positioning, as well as, a first responder computer aided dispatch
application. All are performing flawlessly with handoff over
difficult terrain."
The RDL-LTE will be generally available in the fourth quarter of
2016 in the 700 MHz LTE bands: B12/13/14/17/28, and shortly
thereafter in the 800 MHz and 2.5 GHz FDD bands.
Redline executives will be hosting a webinar about this new
product on Tuesday August
23rd 2016 at 10:00AM eastern. Registration is open now. For
