Release Date: May 13th, 2025
Region: EMEA & APAC
Software Version: v18
A new software update will be available to download for CEL-FI GO G51 on May 13th, 2025, with the following:
New Features
- Advanced decoding of network broadcast messages (SIB2) introduced, improving band and radio access technology (RAT) selection priority for coverage that automatically follows the base station setting.
- The channel selection algorithm was improved to prioritize WCDMA, LTE, and NR based on priority set by the base station and signal quality, leading to enhanced automatic RAT selection for optimal coverage.
- More flexible network priority handling, including support for fractional band priorities for NR.
- Reserved PLMN-IDs for cells are handled more effectively, preventing unintended connections in evolving networks having RAN sharing cells.
- Introduces a feature to always prioritize LTE in scenarios experiencing issues selecting between LTE and NR. This feature allows updating carrier configurations to prioritize LTE for 5G NSA networks.
Improvements
- More accurate signal strength (RSRP & RSRQ) reporting on WAVE Portal at signal levels where the device stops providing coverage, for more informative site troubleshooting.
- Improved DNS resolution handling for modems and routers using legacy longer DNS format, increasing WAVE Portal connection success in sites using legacy IT equipment.
- Improvement where the system will no longer reset commissioned/user-selected band settings for software updates.
- Improved band and neighbor cell channel handling, including better error management for invalid SIB entries at band edges, to prevent device resets.
- Introduces support for Band n41 for the new GO G51 HW variant.
- New checks prevent oversized channel lists from corrupting memory, improving normal use reliability.
- Major improvements in relay stability for bands n3, n41, and n78.
Bug Fixes
- Addressed unexpected signal decoding failures triggered by channel settings revision on WAVE Portal.
- Addressed a bug in PDCCH/PDSCH resulting in persistent SIB2 decoding failures related to specific carrier configurations.
- Various changes for better performance, stability, and reliability.
If the CEL-FI GO G51 has automatic software updates enabled and is online, the system will update automatically by May 27th, 2025. WAVE App users will receive a software update availability prompt when they connect to the WAVE App after the release date.
