TMYTEK has introduced the XRifle Dynamic RIS, an advanced Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface solution for both mmWave and sub-6 GHz 5G/6G deployments, designed to optimize wireless signal propagation and boost network performance. With the ability to seamlessly adjust beam angles and dynamically reconfigure reflection angles, it enhances signal coverage and quality in diverse environments, both indoors and outdoors. XRifle Dynamic RIS overcomes high-frequency challenges such as signal loss and obstruction, playing a crucial role in expanding Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) coverage and improving connectivity in urban areas, industrial zones, and other challenging settings.
TMYTEK’s XRifle Dynamic RIS is available in three models spanning mmWave (28 GHz) and sub-6 GHz (3.5 GHz and 4.7 GHz) bands: 28 GHz version (26–30 GHz), 4.7 GHz version (4.2–5.2 GHz), and a 3.5 GHz version (3.35–3.6 GHz). These models are specifically designed to enhance signal quality in areas with weak or no coverage, providing precise control over reflective angles to extend network reach. With the ability to control up to four RIS modules using a single controller, XRifle Dynamic RIS offers a scalable solution for diverse deployment scenarios, from R&D and field trials to real-world prototyping of 5G NR FR1/FR2 networks.
The XRifle Dynamic RIS is designed to optimize 5G FR1/FR2 coverage, empowering researchers, operators, and integrators to solve signal loss and NLOS (non-line-of-sight) challenges. Now with extended sub-6 GHz support (3.5 GHz & 4.7 GHz), XRifle Dynamic RIS provides a flexible and scalable solution for both R&D environments and real-world field trials.
5G millimeter-wave technology offers high-speed connections but struggles with signal loss, especially when used in urban and industrial areas. Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) technology offers a breakthrough solution to coverage issues by enhancing signal propagation.
TMYTEK’s XRifle Dynamic RIS addresses these challenges with three models, targeting 3.5 GHz, 4.7 GHz, and 28 GHz bands, respectively. All models boost signal strength and quality in weak or obstructed areas, perfect for telecom operators, system integrators, and researchers working on 5G/6G. Ideal for 5G NR FR1/FR2 coverage, the XRifle Dynamic RIS models excel in research and development, field trials, and prototyping, supporting the dynamic environments necessary for smart cities and IoT applications.
Each controller manages up to four Dynamic RIS modules for precise, scalable control. They tackle high-frequency challenges, extend non-line-of-sight (NLOS) coverage, and reduce interference, making them essential for Smart Field Deployment.
