BVS To Demonstrate WiMAX Test Tools At CES 2008
Janet Jaracz (BVS' Southwestern Regional Sales Manager) will be on hand to showcase the latest bundled system offering comprised of the Gator(TM) stimulus test transmitter, Coyote(TM) modular receiver, and the ForeCaster(TM) site survey mapping solution. "The WiMAX service providers need to pre-test the coverage footprint to find out how well the signals will propagate in the respective bands to insure proper base station placement and antenna alignment. WiMAX momentum continues to flourish in the steady stream of orders we are receiving into the new 2008 year.", says Scott Schober, BVS' President/CEO". The test tools BVS offers are available for WiMAX bands of 700 MHz, 2.5 GHz, and 3.5 GHz being deployed globally.
Over the past 12 years, BVS has shipped thousands of Gator Class A transmitters around the world making it one of the most recognizable stimulus transmitters available. Gator customers typically point out the product's light weight, ruggedness and reliability as its strengths.
For over 7 years, Coyote dual-channel receivers have been used in the field by numerous engineers and installers. All key components of the Coyote are hot-swappable in the field. Customers recognize this combination of modularity and performance as the greatest benefit to using Coyote.
Forecaster was introduced back in 2006 and allows Coyote users to plot and view coverage of wireless networks in table or graphical windows with the ability to create HTML reports of base stations/antennae coverage and RF overlap areas. KML overlap reports may also be generated allowing coverage to be viewed using popular programs such as Google Earth(TM). Forecaster combines realtime Coyote measurements, GPS geo-coding accuracy and PC analysis.
