Cellular operators and network engineers will use the new SeeGull LX EV-DO scanner to increase the capacity and the quality of networks, while reducing the need for capital expenditures.
The SeeGull LX EV-DO scanning receiver simplifies the installation, commissioning, optimization and maintenance of EV-DO networks by delivering reliable and accurate network performance measurements.
These measurements are used to improve network coverage, minimize RF interference and optimize network parameters.
PCTELs SeeGull LX EV-DO scanning receiver also provides the ability to identify pilot pollution and help network engineers with network troubleshooting and root cause analysis.
"We are very excited about expanding our SeeGull? product line to address the needs of CDMA wireless operators as they move to expand their high speed wireless data services.
This evolution introduces many challenges as carriers work to simultaneously meet coverage, capacity and service quality goals for voice and data", commented Larry Swift, General Manager of PCTEL's RF Solutions Group.
"Our new EV-DO scanner solution provides accurate, reliable, high-speed, RF measurements that will help network operators minimize infrastructure costs," added Swift.
The SeeGull LX EV-DO scanning receiver supports single or dual-band operation in the Cellular 800 MHz and PCS 1900 MHz bands and features Top N scanning, RSSI measurements and a built-in spectrum analyzer.
The receiver is also designed for use with the SeeGull? LX CDMA2000 1xRTT scanner.
Used together these scanners deliver necessary measurements for carriers managing EV-DO overlays that involve hand-off and interoperability between EV-DO and 1XRTT.
Pricing for the SeeGull LX EV-DO starts from $14,834.
With a peak rate of 2.4 Mbps, EV-DO supports high-speed wireless data services, such as multi-media, data, video-on-demand, and high-speed broadband internet access.
Carriers, including Verizon and Sprint in the US, have committed to comprehensive EV-DO rollouts.
Network operators in Brazil, Japan, and South Korea have also deployed the new networks.
