PCTEL Enhances WiMAX Scanning Receiver With Extended Dynamic Range
Bloomingdale, IL - PCTEL, Inc., a leader in propagation and optimization solutions for the wireless industry, recently announced the availability of its SeeGull EX WiMAX Scanning Receiver with both High Dynamic Range and High Speed scanning. The new measurement modes, combined with improved CINR (Carrier to Interference plus Noise Ratio) measurement algorithms, provide a flexible set of tools for RF Engineers deploying and optimizing WiMAX mobile networks.
Both measurement modes quickly generate network information. The new SeeGull EX provides high dynamic range measurements without sacrificing the high speed performance that distinguishes the SeeGull EX scanning receivers from other competitive products. The new CINR measurement algorithms provide improved signal to noise scanning precision that more closely represents actual user experience. In addition, the integrated RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) and Spectrum Analysis measurement features provide engineers with additional tools to assess base station performance.
"Our work with WiMAX operators and drive test tool suppliers has allowed us to build a scanning receiver that provides both high quality data and high performance needed for network decision making," said Luis Rugeles, General Manager of PCTEL's RF Solutions Group. "We will continue to make enhancements to our product to meet the challenges that operators face in expanding their WiMAX network footprint."
The SeeGull scanning receiver product line provides solutions for all major wide-area wireless technologies including WiMAX, WCDMA/GSM, CDMA/EV-DO, and TD-SCDMA. Used with the InSite RF Data Collection system, the receivers provide a complete solution for RF propagation data collection, including indoor measurements. The high performance, accuracy, and reliability of SeeGull measurements make the receiver ideal for use in RF propagation management, frequency allocation, and other cell planning applications. SeeGull scanning receivers are available through leading global providers of drive test solutions and directly from PCTEL.
PCTEL will demonstrate its new enhanced SeeGull EX WiMAX Scanning Receiver, along with its portfolio of WiMAX antenna products at the WiMAX World 2008 Exhibition in Chicago, IL, October 1-2, 2008. Please Visit the PCTEL booth #1205.
