According to SureCall, the C-band signal booster is FCC certified and ready for immediate deployment.
SureCall today announced SpeedLink 5G, a new C-band signal booster that the company calls a significant milestone for the industry. In addition to its FCC certification for immediate deployment, it is also the only C-band booster approved by Verizon for use on its 5G Ultra Wideband network (the carrier's brand name for mmWave and C-band networks).
Hongtao Zhan, CEO and Founder of SureCall, said: “Verizon 5G Signal As a certified booster vendor, we worked closely with Verizon to ensure the new SpeedLink exceeds all the technical standards carriers demand for their networks.”
Zan spoke. RCR Wireless News Despite being a relatively nascent market, signal boosters play an important role in communications networks. “Over the past decade, millions of signal boosters have been installed across the United States,” he said. “Millions of Americans are served by boosters. There are boosters everywhere: in the car, at home, at the office, at school, at the hospital.”
And Zhang believes the signal booster industry is “still warming up.” He said that in the next 10 to 20 years, the world's mobile phone networks will consist primarily of boosters. “This is what is happening. There is no other choice,” he added.
Two years ago, SureCall claimed to have achieved record speeds using a 5G mmWave booster on Verizon's network. When SureCall's Horizon network signal booster was activated and measured from multiple distances from 5G mmWave base stations, the company said it significantly improved speeds and signal strength. At a total distance of 100 meters from the Horizon network booster (areas with no signal), SureCall's booster provided speeds of nearly 3 Gbps.
But now the company is working on mid-band with its latest solution. C-band transmits faster data and can connect more simultaneous users to his 5G base station. However, indoor coverage remains a problem, mainly due to poor permeability by modern building materials. “Show me one commercial building in the United States that has full C-band coverage,” he challenged Zhan. “I've never seen one.”
SpeedLink Booster can extend 5G C-band signals within large buildings to close coverage gaps and increase network capacity, delivering data speeds of up to 1 Gbps without fiber, SureCall said, and its MIMO or SISO He added that compatibility allows for flexible designs. It can be quickly and economically deployed in a wide variety of building types.
“This is a disruptive technology. It's not a traditional linear-thinking technology. It's always about base stations – large base stations, small base stations, medium base stations. If you have an enterprise problem, you use a small cell. But that idea is wrong,” Zhang said. “Now we have this disruptive technology that has been approved by the FCC and the carriers. It's still in its early stages, but it's going to take the world by storm.”
SpeedLink 5G is available for purchase and deployment from SureCall's distribution partners, including Tessco and Graybar.
