MegaFon conducted tests of the Vivins S150 5G router for the first time

MOSCOW, October 5 – RIA Novosti. Specialists from MegaFon's equipment research and testing center conducted tests for the first time on the Wewins C150 fifth-generation mobile communications (5G) router, the operator's press service reports.

The device has successfully passed the required test scenarios.

Using a 5G router, you can use the mobile network not only on smartphones, but also as a source of Internet connection for home devices. It receives a signal from the base station and then creates a local network to which the user connects a smartphone, computer, TV and other equipment. Therefore, the device itself does not need to support the technology—it is enough to be able to connect to the router via Wi-Fi or cable.

During the tests, experts confirmed the data transfer speeds declared by the manufacturer, the correct operation of carrier frequency aggregation and support for 5G bands. In addition, the router successfully transitioned between different technologies without losing the connection.

“When testing subscriber equipment, it is important to check how the device behaves not only in normal mode, but also when the network connection conditions change. This is especially important for a 5G router, since it is used as an access point for several user devices at once. The tests carried out make it possible to evaluate the stability of its operation and make sure that the characteristics declared by the manufacturer correspond to the actual operation of the device on the network,” said Alexander Giaconia, head of the center for research and testing of subscriber equipment at MegaFon, as quoted by the press service.
