2017 Benchmark Study of High Power User Equipment (HPUE) in a Commercial Band 41 LTE-TDD Network

SRG conducted a benchmark study of HPUE (High Power User Equipment) with a Power Class 2 Power Amplifier (PA), to determine how it performs against an ordinary smartphone with a Power Class 3 PA. A Power Class 2 PA supports a maximum transmit power of 26 dBm (+/- 2 dB) and a Power Class 3 PA supports a maximum transmit power of 23 dBm (+/- 2 dB). We used Sprint's network in rural Minnesota and the Chicago vicinity where Samsung is the infrastructure suppler.
