Abstract

Rural areas in Peru still suffer from a significant lack of mobile coverage, as operators do not find it profitable to invest in these regions due to geographical challenges, infrastructure requirements and economic constraints of the inhabitants. This research proposes the development of a 4G base station prototype for low population density rural areas using SDR technology using the LimeSDR model. Performance evaluation was carried out through local testing with the VOLTE service, using network parameter measurement tools, allowing optimizations for future deployments in rural environments.
