Release Date: September 18th, 2025
Region: AMER, EMEA & APAC
Software Version: v40
A new software update will be available to download for QUATRA 4000(i/c/e)/EVO(FN) on September 18th, 2025, with the following:
New Features
- A new band and technology selection algorithm option, RelayNrIfPresent, has been added. When enabled, this algorithm ensures that the system prioritizes boosting an available NR channel over boosting a second LTE channel, which is beneficial for networks that configure multiple LTE channels with a higher selection priority than NR.
Improvements
- A randomized backoff mechanism has been implemented for WebSocket Secure (WSS) connection attempts for WAVE Portal. This prevents overload and denial of service caused by too many devices trying to reconnect simultaneously after a WAVE Portal connection restarts.
Bug Fixes
- Fixes a bug that resulted in the system reporting non-existent cells (specifically PCI 274) in the WAVE Portal.
- Fixed a bug where SMART SERVER ANTENNA (or Module) was not accurately reported to the WAVE Portal, particularly after a system restart or when connected via a QUATRA Fiber Range Extender.
- Fixes a decoding bug of NR SIB2 for frequency selection when si-WindowLength is five radio frames, ensuring cell selection correctly follows network priority for any applicable frame lengths.
- Fixed a bug where the repeater stopped boosting 5G NR signals after initial startup for specific networks due to misinterpreting the Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) sequence index.
- Various changes for better performance, stability, and security.
If automatic software updates are enabled for the QUATRA 4000(i/c/e)/EVO(FN) and the system is online, they will be automatically updated by October 2nd, 2025. Alternatively, they can be manually updated sooner using the WAVE Portal or WAVE Field Tool.
