Multiband Trooper™ Fleet Management Antenna
Platform Will Be Featured at IWCE
PCTEL, Inc. (Nasdaq:PCTI), a leader in Performance
Critical TELecom solutions, announced that their
Trooper™ fleet management antenna was recently deployed at the
Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California by the Los
Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) for use on the Los
Angeles Regional Interoperable Communications System (LA-RICS) for
their First Responder Broadband Network. During the event, Trooper
reliably delivered high speed data and location information,
supporting LA-RICS’s concept for a First Responder Network
Authority (FirstNet) nationwide broadband network.
FirstNet’s mandate to transform first responder communications
by creating a truly interoperable, high speed broadband wireless
network has revolutionized the public safety industry. To this end,
the next generation of public safety communications equipment must
support a wide variety of applications, including live video
streaming, situational information, navigation, asset tracking, and
conventional two-way voice. Support for multiple radio bands is
also required to achieve interoperability across agencies and
jurisdictions. The result is a complex convergence of technologies,
including 4G LTE cellular, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Land Mobile Radio (LMR),
and Global Positioning Systems (GPS).
“Technology convergence challenges require sophisticated antenna
solutions. FirstNet’s bandwidth speed goals place extreme
performance demands on public safety antennas, even as there is
less space available on vehicle rooftops,” said Rishi Bharadwaj,
Senior Vice President and General Manager of PCTEL's Connected
Solutions group. “PCTEL’s Trooper is an RF-efficient, compact,
durable, and cost-effective multi-band antenna solution for the
next generation of public safety networks,” added Bharadwaj.
The Trooper antenna facilitates optimized data throughput and
precision tracking of vehicles and assets. PCTEL’s sophisticated
engineering and proprietary high rejection GPS technology ensure
reliable performance, even during RF intensive, emergency public
safety operations. Trooper is also a preferred antenna solution of
leading Internet of Things (IoT) router vendors and Land Mobile
Radio (LMR) equipment manufacturers.
PCTEL will demonstrate Trooper at the upcoming International
Wireless Communications Expo (IWCE) booth #1149, March 29-30.
Trooper will also be featured at the Product Showcase, located by
the entrance of the exhibit hall.
