Test and Measurement Solution Integrates 3D
Indoor/Outdoor Geolocation with Network Performance Data
PCTEL, Inc. (Nasdaq:PCTI), a leader in Performance
Critical TELecom solutions, and TRX Systems Inc.,
provider of NEON® Location Solutions, announced today the first
scanning receiver-based cellular network test and measurement
solution with automated indoor/outdoor geo-referencing. With the
PCTEL-TRX solution, engineers will be able to easily collect and
geo-locate RF (radio frequency) data where GPS signals are not
available. The system’s automatic 2D and 3D mapping supports
engineering activities for DAS, small cell, and heterogeneous
wireless networks.

The new network testing solution integrates TRX’s NEON® Signal
Mapper 3D location and mapping solution with PCTEL’s SeeHawk® Touch
test and measurement software and IBflex® scanning receivers.
PCTEL’s scanning receivers exceed the capabilities of mobile
devices, leveraging exceptional measurement accuracy and broad
dynamic range to produce a more complete picture of the RF
environment. Scanning receiver-based solutions such as SeeHawk®
Touch are the only reliable solutions for planning, designing,
benchmarking, and troubleshooting wireless networks.
“3D mapping and visualization of IBflex® power measurements is
essential for testing coverage in stairwells to meet new public
safety requirements,” said Jeff Miller, PCTEL’s Senior Vice
President and General Manager, RF Solutions. “Automated 3D
navigation improves the quality and efficiency of data collection
by eliminating the often tedious and error-prone point-and-click
in-building navigation,” added Miller.
TRX’s 3D location and mapping solution simplifies and
dramatically reduces the time required to complete signal testing
both indoors and out. Field personnel will no longer need to
manually tap out their location on a 2D map as they walk through a
building or around a campus. Instead, the new TRX-PCTEL integrated
solution uses NEON® Signal Mapper to deliver real-time
geo-referenced signal data that can be visualized both locally by
the user and remotely on a 3D display.
“TRX and PCTEL bring unique and complementary capabilities to
wireless test and measurement,” said Jeff Kunst, TRX’s Vice
President, Product and Business Development. “This version of the
NEON® Signal Mapper solution was designed to integrate seamlessly
with PCTEL’s SeeHawk® Touch,” added Kunst.
This innovative 3D test and measurement solution will be
available only from PCTEL. Current SeeHawk® Touch users can upgrade
their systems to access this innovative 3D mapping capability.
Representatives from PCTEL will be available at Mobile World
Congress in Barcelona, Spain, February 27 – March 2 for meetings
and demonstrations. To arrange a demonstration of the automated
indoor mapping solution or discuss the company’s full range of test
tools, please email contact.rfs@pctel.com. To arrange a meeting
