PCTEL Announces 5G Network Testing Tools at MWC Americas

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 12, 2018-- PCTEL, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCTI), a leader in Performance Critical TELecom solutions, unveiled precision scanning receivers for testing 5G networks today at Mobile World Congress Americas. The new HBflex™ scanning receiver provides 5G NR measurements on both mmWave and sub-6 GHz spectrum. 5G NR testing capabilities are also available on PCTEL’s flagship IBflex® scanning receiver for sub-6 GHz bands.

PCTEL’s 5G test tools will enable operators to efficiently clear new spectrum and roll out 5G networks worldwide while maintaining or upgrading existing network technologies. HBflex and IBflex are both based on PCTEL’s flexible software defined radio platform, enabling high performance measurements of 5G networks as well as LTE, public safety, NB-IoT, and other network technologies.

“5G networks will include a wide array of new bands and new technologies in a more complex RF environment,” said David Neumann, the company’s CEO. “PCTEL scanning receivers provide the accuracy, insight, and flexibility that operators will need to successfully manage their 5G networks and enable new use cases such as smart cities, fixed wireless access, and advanced IoT deployments.”

PCTEL will demonstrate the HBflex scanning receiver September 12-14 at Mobile World Congress Americas in Los Angeles, booth S.2064.

HBflex and IBflex scanning receivers with 5G testing capabilities are available to order now. Upgrade paths are available for customers with existing IBflex scanning receivers.
