Kaelus,
a Smiths Interconnect business, has announced the availability of LTE 800 test
capability in both their Portable and Bench Passive Intermodulation (PIM) Test
Equipment. This latest product development demonstrates Kaelus’ dedication to
supporting the global wireless industry through technically differentiated
offerings that optimize network performance while helping operators save time
and money. The LTE 800 band products provide network operators with the
ability to improve site performance by finding and eliminating sources of
PIM at the cell site. In addition, cellular equipment manufacturers can
quickly and confidently verify the performance of their products at the time of
manufacture.
“The
deployment of 3G and 4G technologies within the 800MHz band creates the need to
carefully manage interference mechanisms and in particular it is essential that
effective interference management tools are available to drive performance,
capacity and service quality in these networks”, said Michael Symes, President
of Kaelus Site Solutions. “European operators will benefit from the 800MHz PIM
test analyser and more generally we continue to evolve our technologies to
ensure Kaelus offers best-in-class products and services to the global market.”
Also
available with the LTE 800 band portable PIM Test instrument is the recently
released Range to Fault (RTF) module. With RTF technology, network operators
will be able to eliminate PIM problems at a cell site much more effectively and
reduce the time required to complete site repairs.
Datasheets
for the LTE 800 portable PIM analyser (iQA-0790C) and the Kaelus bench PIM factory and
laboratory analyzer (SI-0790E) are available at www.kaelus.com. The
cover LTE frequency band 20 using FDD Uplink 832 – 862MHz, FDD Downlink
791 – 821MHz.
