Firecell LabKit is for indoor use in a lab. It will not radiate outside the walls of the laboratory and therefore you usually need not apply for spectrum allocation. To avoid interference, we would suggest that you use a band not used by MNOs or other users in your area (for instance Band 40 TDD in Europe, as this band is essentially used by MNOs in Asia).
A Faraday Cage is not required either and almost none of our clients use them. It may be needed if you want to test the same bands as the ones from telecom companies (and you are in a place where their signal is strong), or in places where there is a lot of interference, e.g. in a tradeshow.
All unlocked 4G devices are compatible with Firecell Labkit 4G mode.
All unlocked 5G devices are compatible with Firecell Labkit 5G NSA mode.
Following 5G devices have been tested with Firecell Labkit 5G SA mode: Simcom SIMCOM8200EA, Quectel RM500Q-GL, OnePlus 8 (with PLMN 00101), Huawei P40 and P40 Pro, Google Pixel 5G, Crosscall Core-Z5.
