ICS™-550

ICS™-550 is our first generation 5G NR survey solution. ICS™-550 provides its customers with state-of-the-art survey solutions that support the new 5G NR technologies. This product has been designed to support both the evolution of 5G non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) networks.

ICS™-550 is capable of surveying the new mmWave frequency bands allocated for 5G NR networks while simultaneously scanning sub 6 GHz frequencies. The system form factor remains light and portable by utilizing a downconverter to survey the mmWave frequency bands. We will continue to develop new features to support 5G NR surveying as technologies advance.

PBL

PBL (Passive Base Station Location) is an industry changing application that can be added to any ICS system. PBL allows a user to drive an area of interest and measure the cellular signals present to determine the physical location of the emitters for the respective signals. PBL uses proprietary location algorithms to establish the location of towers to within 10s of meters. Typically, 90% of the towers are detected within 200m or better. Denser drive patterns typically provide improved accuracy and higher number of detected emitters. All prediction measurements are made while simultaneously collecting survey data.

Features

  • Simultaneous Calculations for GSM, CDMA, EVDO, WCDMA & LTE Sectors
  • 100% Passive Measurement
  • Predictions are Compatible with Most Mapping Software
  • Low Density Driving Required
  • Sector Azimuth Estimation

PBL Air

The DCode Pro PBL for ground-based surveys feature has been extended to allow ICS systems to perform the same tower location functions using airborne surveys. This system requires the ICS-5xx family of systems, DCode Pro, and two additional supporting applications. One of these applications, the Collection app, takes a list of frequencies to be scanned as input and will collect raw position estimation data. The second application, the Analysis app, processes that raw data and produces a .pbl file with the same format as the ground-based .pbl files generated by DCode Pro.

As of the first release of this feature, testing and characterization has been limited to survey altitudes of less than 10,000 feet and flight speed under 150 knots. Survey patterns have been limited to a grid style pattern with the “legs” separated by approximately 1 mile.

Features

  • Simultaneous Calculations for WCDMA, GSM & LTE Sectors
  • 100% Passive Measurement
  • Predictions are Compatible with Most Mapping Software
  • High altitude collection of data up to 10,000 feet
  • Flights at 8,500 feet have produced results in which 90% of the towers were located to within 200 meters of their actual locations
