Leading 5G mmWave Booster Manufacturers and Suppliers

5G mmWave boosters are designed to enhance signal strength and improve network performance, especially in environments where signal propagation is challenging. A variety of manufacturers offer cutting-edge boosters for both mobile and fixed applications. This guide explores some of the top suppliers in the 5G mmWave booster market.

The manufacturers discussed include SIAE MICROELETTRONICA, SureCall, Millimeter Wave Products, Ericsson, FRTek, and Movandi.

What is a 5G mmWave Signal Booster?

5G (Fifth Generation) mobile technology utilizes two primary frequency bands: FR1 and FR2. FR1 covers the frequency range from 450 to 6000 MHz, while FR2 operates in the 24250 to 52600 MHz range. FR2 employs millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies across different bands.

Common mmWave frequency bands include n257 (26.5-29.5 GHz), n258 (24.25-27.5 GHz), n259 (39.5-43.5 GHz), n260 (37-40 GHz), and n262 (47.2-48.2 GHz). The mmWave spectrum provides wide bandwidth and can deliver high data rates.

mmWave wireless systems use smaller antennas, allowing multiple antennas to be packed into various array configurations. These antenna arrays offer high gain and support beamforming capabilities. Moreover, mmWave antennas are relatively easy to integrate into 5G mmWave mobile handsets.

Other components in a mmWave cellular system include mmWave transceivers, mmWave signal boosters, mmWave RF front ends, and mmWave filters. As shown in the image above, the 5G mmWave signal booster amplifies the 5G RF signal before it is transmitted into the air by the mmWave antenna.

This amplification helps meet RF link budget requirements in the 5G network. The booster is typically connected in the transmit path after the outdoor unit, before the antenna port. These 5G boosters are valuable for service providers like Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile, enabling them to extend their 5G mmWave network coverage.

Key specifications of mmWave signal boosters used to extend 5G network coverage include:

• Supported Standards/Technologies (4G LTE, 5G, PCS, AWS)
• Uplink parameters (Frequency, gain, gain adjustment, output power, etc.)
• Downlink parameters (Frequency, gain, output power, noise figure, etc.)
• VSWR, Input/Output impedance, power consumption, RF connector types, dimensions, weight, certifications, etc.
