b'3 WIRELESSCOMMUNICATIONSINLs Wireless Test Bed offers large-scale, end-to-end testing of cellular, fixed, and mobile radios, wireless local area networks and telecommunications backhaul (microwave, free-space optical, fiber-optic, and satellite) systems to industry and government.This large-scale, open-air, controlled range includes full- Tier 1, carrier-grade cellular networks, including scale communications networks, a low-radio frequency5G standalone and non-standalone, 4G Long-Term noise floor, and spectrum-use authorization to supportEvolution, 3G Universal Mobile Telecommunications rich communications experimentation. INL has industry- System, and 2G Global System for Mobile experienced technical professionals who design, build,Communications networks. Technicians also monitor and operate real-world networks for realistic testing andand record cellular interfaces during test events.evaluation. This includes dynamic customization of networkLab-scale 5G networks for security assessments, parameters to ensure operationally relevant testing. research, and experimental configurations.Situated in a natural caldera, INLs wireless test bed is bufferedLimited urban- or military-communication from outside radio-frequency sources. This allows engineers tocongestion for more-sensitive radio-frequency test devices and hardware ranging from high-frequency (HF),reception. Typical noise threshold is less than -120 ultrahigh-frequency (UHF), cellular, satellite, and microwavedecibel mW over 10 kHz resolution bandwidth.platforms, as well as everything in between.
