1 Overview:
Objective:
 Network feasibility test
 Benchmark with reference devices
 Limitation / Bug identifications
 Recommendation
Before commercialization it is mandatory for all the CPE (Modem/Router) to complete the Network
feasibility and benchmark test in QUBEE Bangladesh radio network. Greenpacket has introduced UT-235
P1 & 4G Surfing branded (identically both are same) USB Modem whose functionality and benchmark is
tested in QUBEE Bangladesh radio network.

CPE (Modem/Router): Greenpacket UT-235 P1 & 4G Surfing (Hostless Dongle)

Test Locations:
IB0102, DH0001, DH0008, DH0097, DH6682, DH6525.

Test Packages:
4mbps, 20mbps.

Benchmark device:
QUBEE commercial CPE (Modem / Router) are used as reference device:

 SWU-3400AN(Rocket)

5 Observations:
 Device chipset is MTK7118, so it’s contain all the known bugs (Issue list table for reference).
 CINR value fluctuates very rapidly in poor RF condition on average.
 Greenpacket UT-235 shows 3 to 4dB less CINR in GUI in comparison to reported value in BS.

6 Major Issue list:

SL. No. Issue
Signal Quality fluctuation resulting unstable throughput at poor radio
