LimeNET Mini 2.0
LimeNET Mini 2.0
LimeNET Mini 2.0 is the next step in the evolution of cellular infrastructure and is a self-contained, network-in-a-box solution built on the field proven Lime Software-Defined Radio (LimeSDR) platform. It is supplied complete with a pre-installed Linux O/S and cellular network stack, which can be configured to support any 4G or 5G band up to 3.8GHz (TDD & FDD), with bandwidths of up to 20MHz (2x2) with LTE networks and 100MHz (2x2) with 5G NR.
LimeNET Mini 2.0 may be operated fully independently — with its own core network, plus IMS for voice and SMS support — or it can be integrated with existing core networks via standard 3GPP interfaces. Typical uses for LimeNET Mini 2.0 include mobile private network (MPN) and public networks, IoT networks, media streaming, and test & measurement, to name but a few.
- A licence is included for eNodeB, gNodeB, EPC, 5GC and IMS functions, with one year of software updates (this may be extended, please contact us for details).
- Either 4G or 5G SA operation is supported as standard and please contact us to discuss requirements such as support for 5G NSA, multiple cells and carrier aggregation etc.
- The RFE frequency band will be specified by the customer after ordering. Please contact us with RFE requirements for different MIMO layer configurations or transmit power levels etc.
The current lead time for LimeNET Mini 2.0 is 4 weeks.
Available with or without RFE
LimeNET Mini 2.0 is typically supplied with an integrated 2x2 MIMO RF Front-End (RFE) which features 1W per channel RF power output.
LimeNET Mini 2.0 may also be ordered without an RFE for development purposes and use with third party RF front-ends. In this case it is packaged in a slightly smaller desktop enclosure, pictured right.
Expert Support
We are committed to getting customers up and running as quickly as possible and LimeNET Mini 2.0 may be purchased with either basic or enhanced support. The former provides configuration support for network-in-a-box type deployments, while the latter also covers more advanced tasks, such as integration with existing core networks. Please contact us for further details.
