US 4G carriers compatibility

24 May 2019

Our current version of ANPR camera uses Samsung G935F board with wide range of 2G, 3G and 4G LTE support.

The underlying RF technology is based on Qualcomm RF360 solution. The core ICs used are Qualcomm QFE3100 Envelope Tracker, WTR4905 and WTR3925 RF Transceivers.

G935F board was intended for the global market and should work on most LTE networks.

We only focus on LTE bands in this post because 3G data services are being phased out by many operators around the world.

Supported LTE bands

The list below has the band number with the frequency in MHz. Bands used in the North America are highlighted. The bands can also be called B1, B2, B… in other specs and publications.

  • 1(2100)
  • 2(1900)
  • 3(1800)
  • 4(1700/2100)
  • 5(850)
  • 7(2600)
  • 8(900)
  • 12(700)
  • 13(700)
  • 17(700)
  • 18(800)
  • 19(800)
  • 20(800)
  • 25(1900)
  • 26(850)
  • 28(700)
  • 38(2600)
  • 39(1900)
  • 40(2300)
  • 41(2500)

The most reliable way to determine the compatibility with your local carrier is to head to the site of the ANPR camera deployment and check the signal. You can try using a coverage map, but those tend to be unreliable because they are calculated based on the terrain. We recommend going to the actual site with your smartphone and use an app like Network Cell Info to get the signal level, LTE band and other info.

3G, 2G and CDMA for ANPR

There are still plenty of areas where only the older cellular technologies are available. Our ANPR camera with G935F board supports a range of 2G and 3G bands. The speed you get may be adequate to download still images and all the radar data. Downloading videos should work fine, but may take several seconds longer than on 4G.

CDMA is not supported.
