PCTEL, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCTI) announced enhanced 5G NR testing capabilities to support efficient deployment of 5G and spectrum sharing technologies. A single HBflex™ scanning receiver can simultaneously test mmWave and sub-6 GHz coverage, so operators have maximum flexibility when testing their 5G networks. The HBflex is part of the company’s portfolio of 5G solutions designed to enhance coverage and connectivity.

“PCTEL’s 5G scanning receivers have been adopted by dozens of network operators and their service companies in more than 20 countries worldwide,” said David Neumann, PCTEL’s Chief Executive Officer. “As 5G deployments accelerate, PCTEL’s solutions will enable operators and end-users to take full advantage of all available spectrum, including mid-band frequencies worldwide and CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) in the United States,” added Neumann.

Key features of PCTEL’s 5G scanning receivers include:

  • Simultaneous testing across all technologies and bands
  • Fast dual-port testing mode for 5G mmWave networks
  • Simultaneous decoding of all Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) beams
