The Vicinity 5G Indoor Small Cell, model Bristol5G-010, is a compact, all-in-one solution built on the Qualcomm FSM100 5G RAN platform.

Designed to enhance indoor network coverage, it addresses common challenges such as weak signals, blind spots, and interference, significantly improving connectivity and user experience within enclosed spaces. The device features an integrated small cell design that is easy to deploy and consumes low power, making it suitable for various indoor environments. Supporting 3GPP Release 15 standards, it operates in the N78 frequency band (3300-3800MHz) with bandwidth options of 40, 60, 80, or 100MHz. It supports multi-mode synchronisation through GPS or IEEE1588V2 (optional) and employs TDD duplexing with 256 QAM and 64 QAM modulation for downlink and uplink respectively.

With a maximum output power of 24dBm and support for up to 64 active users per cell, it ensures robust capacity and performance. The small cell includes system management and monitoring software for easy deployment, with dimensions of 240mm x 63.5mm x 240mm, weighing under 2.9kg, and operating efficiently at temperatures between -10°C to +40°C. Its IP31 rating guarantees protection against dust and water ingress.
