Pico5G IoT
Compact single-cell LTE, LTE-M and NB-IoT network in a box for 4G device testing.
- LTE, LTE-M, NB-IoT
- 3GPP Rel 17
- 1x 2x2 SDR
- 180 Mbps DL
- Compact chassis
Overview
The Pico5G IoT is the entry-level model in the Pico5G Series, a compact 4G network emulator that runs a complete 3GPP Release 17 eNodeB and EPC in one box. It supports LTE, LTE-M and NB-IoT in a single-cell configuration and is aimed at teams that need LTE connectivity validation without 5G. Like all Pico5G models it ships with pre-programmed SIM cards and SMA antennas.
Built for
- LTE-M and NB-IoT device validation
- IoT battery life profiling
- Connectivity and roaming tests
- Lab testing without a carrier network
Key features
Complete 4G network
Runs an eNodeB and EPC in one unit, so no carrier network or internet link is needed.
NB-IoT modes
Supports standalone, in-band and guard-band NB-IoT for NB1 and NB2 devices.
VoLTE testing
An embedded IMS server (P-CSCF, I-CSCF, S-CSCF) enables VoLTE tests.
Up to 500 UEs
Handles up to 500 concurrent active UEs.
Custom bands
Supports FDD and TDD bands, including custom bands.
Automation interfaces
Tests can be driven from the GUI, CLI, REST/WebSocket API or MCP, so lab runs can move into CI.
