SeeGull™ LX Tri-Band GSM/WCDMA Scanning Receiver
PCTEL’s RF Solutions Group will showcase its new SeeGull™ LX Tri-Band scanning receiver that provides simultaneous RF measurements for the WCDMA 2100 MHz, GSM 900 MHz, and GSM 1800 MHz frequency bands. Leveraging the high-speed SeeGull™ LX platform, this scanning receiver helps wireless operators meet their network coverage, capacity and quality objectives as they migrate from GSM to WCDMA. The scanning receiver combines all of the features and functionality of the SeeGull™ LX WCDMA and GSM scanning receivers, including a built-in spectrum analyzer; RSSI, BSIC, C/I and BCCH Layer 3 messages for GSM; and RSSI, Pilot, Top N, Timeslot, SIR, and Rake Finger count for WCDMA.

InSite™ Wireless Test System
PCTEL’s RF Solutions Group will also demonstrate its new release of the InSite™ Wireless Test System, which features a complete indoor measurement solution. The added indoor support includes a Tablet PC, a new battery pack, and a carrying pouch, making InSite a compact and easy-to-use indoor site survey tool. When used along with the SeeGull™ TX WCDMA UMTS Transmitter, the InSite™ Wireless Test System provides a complete and very cost-effective solution for deploying indoor WCDMA networks.

CLARIFY™ Intelligent GSM RF Interference Management
CLARIFY™ is an industry-leading RF propagation and interference measurement system that provides network operators with precise and comprehensive propagation measurements, enabling them to significantly increase their ability to manage and maximize network performance, coverage and quality of service. With its ability for unparalleled C/I detection up to -20dB, CLARIFY™ enables the collection of key-up quality propagation data without key-up disruption. This data enables engineers to troubleshoot complex coverage and interference problems and, through interfaces to leading Automatic Frequency Planning (AFP) and Automatic Cell Planning (ACP) solutions, to enhance existing network planning and optimization processes. Additionally, for those carriers deploying GPRS and EDGE, CLARIFY™ delivers the accurate C/I coverage maps needed to map out and manage effective data coverage.

“Carriers are facing growth in customers and usage, migration to new technologies, and ever-increasing competition. This growth introduces many challenges as they work to meet coverage, capacity and quality goals while keeping costs low," commented Larry Swift, Vice President and General Manager, RF Solutions Group. "Our new product offerings address the need for accurate, reliable, high-speed, multi-purpose RF measurement and wireless testing solutions, delivered at low cost," added Swift.
