Scanning receivers make network parameters visible to wireless carriers.
Wireless carriers currently use DTI's scanners to acquire network performance data through drive tests, site surveys, base station monitoring, and network coverage analysis.
The SeeGull LX GSM scanning receiver enhances the carrier's visibility into their network, simplifying troubleshooting and network optimisation.

Current transducers maintain accuracy
A new series of DC current transducers provides tighter accuracy to 1.0% full-scale for more stable operation over a wide temperature range from -40 to +85C.
Current transducers handle speedy waveforms
A new series of bidirectional current transducers is capable of accurately following extremely fast (DC and/or AC) current waveforms.
Critical features include reliable C/I measurements and the accurate identification of BSICs (basestation identification codes).
The SeeGull LX GSM scanning receiver also establishes a new standard for the identification of critical system messages (including cell ID, mobile country code, mobile network code and location area code).
In comparison with mobile test phones, which provide these messages on the best server (one channel) only, DTI's GSM receiver can decode them on all channels.
Wireless operators use these system messages to identify the origin of RF signals transmitted in their networks.
"We are very excited about providing the SeeGull LX GSM scanning receiver to the wireless testing community.
This high-speed receiver provides reliable C/I measurements and accurate spectrum analysis.
The release of this product marks another example of our commitment to providing value added test solutions", said Paul Kline, DTI's President.
"Service providers and carriers can now test and troubleshoot their GSM networks much more efficiently than was possible before.
Our customers will realise better optimisation of network performance, enhanced quality of service, and improved wireless coverage", added Kline.
DTI's latest GSM receiver has a scanning speed of 500 channels per second.
The high-speed platform also provides the ability for the user to perform multiple functions simultaneously compared to other tools that only support one function at a time.
In addition, this new receiver provides higher measurement accuracy and sensitivity, better immunity to interference, and increased sensitivity to BSIC decoding.
The new built-in spectrum analyser feature provides an effective means to detect and troubleshoot frequency-related problems.
The available option of distance-based sampling (DBS) provides a complete solution for model tuning during network deployment and network optimisation.
The receiver has an optional built-in GPS, and is available as a single band (850, 900, 1800 or 1900MHz) or a dual-band (850/1900 or 900/1800MHz) receiver.
The SeeGull LX GSM scanning receiver is available now and is sold to OEMs and cellular and PCS service providers worldwide.
