Cost-Effective and Affordable

Nutaq’s Pico LTE is the perfect alternative to generate LTE waveforms over-the-air, test LTE devices for operation within the PicoLTE supported indoor small ranges, or use as LTE eNodeB in a private network. It offers you the full flexibility and access to PHY and MAC parameters without any commercial entry barrier or requiring high budgets. 

 

From the Lab to the field tests

Expand coverage significantly by adding external Power Amplifier (PA) and Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), allowing you to increase your cell radius.
