Powerful Capabilities for CBRS Networks

Citizens Broadcast Radio Service (CBRS) is a 150 MHz wide broadcast band in the 3.5 GHz band. Deploy new wireless networks, optimize existing infrastructure, and locate disruptive RF interference with an integrated CBRS Test & Deployment Solution from thinkRF and CelPlan.

Designed to be cost-effective and portable, the solution allows RF Engineers to use the same hardware for both spectrum analysis and wireless technology scanning, reducing cost and resources required for mobile and RF drive test applications.

thinkRF CBRS Test & Deployment Applications

CelPlan is a leading provider of radio frequency planning & optimization tools, value-added consulting, engineering, and training services to the wireless industry. Whether in the lab, facility, field or across the city, CellSpectrum™ is the only platform that enables universal spectrum analysis and RF path characterization for all wireless communications. The advanced mobile spectrum analysis solution allows for comprehensive drive testing and coverage mapping capabilities.

Combined with the thinkRF R5550 Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer, the advanced CelPlan software enables a number of mobile and RF drive test applications.
