Indoor Grid Testing Feature Automatically
Generates Reports Required by Local Jurisdictions
PCTEL, Inc. (Nasdaq:PCTI), a leader in Performance
Critical TELecom solutions, announced today its new
indoor grid testing tool, designed to help building owners meet
public safety coverage requirements. In many jurisdictions in the
United States, building owners must verify public safety network
coverage with grid testing in order to acquire or maintain an
occupancy permit. PCTEL’s indoor grid testing feature for its
tablet-based SeeHawk® Touch software simplifies the data collection
and reporting process, automatically generating reports that
conform to most local requirements.
Grid testing can be a time consuming and error prone process
that requires experienced personnel. Engineers often use pen and
paper to prepare test plans, execute tests, record results, and
create reports. PCTEL’s solution uses tablet-based SeeHawk® Touch
software and a PCTEL scanning receiver such as the IBflex® to
integrate all phases of the grid testing process.
“Over the last year, we’ve seen greater demand for indoor grid
testing, as public safety coverage requirements have become much
more stringent,” said Jason Chambers, Service Manager, Day Wireless
Systems. “Based on preliminary trials, we expect PCTEL’s new system
to reduce the time we spend on indoor grid testing and report
generation by 70%,” added Chambers.
PCTEL’s indoor grid testing tool includes pre-configured
reporting for the most common public safety coverage requirements,
based on National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) or
International Fire Code (IFC) standards. It also supports custom
reporting, including for non-public safety applications such as
radio over IP.
“PCTEL scanning receivers are highly adaptable test and
measurement tools. By addressing market needs with innovative
solutions like our SeeHawk® Touch-based indoor grid testing tool,
PCTEL brings additional value to customers with existing scanning
receivers,” said Jim Zik, Vice President of Product Management,
PCTEL RF Solutions. “Government agencies can also use PCTEL’s grid
testing tool to perform thorough public safety coverage inspections
more efficiently,” added Zik.
PCTEL will demonstrate the new SeeHawk® Touch grid testing
feature along with its other RF test and measurement solutions at
2017 BICSI Fall Conference & Exhibition in Las Vegas, September
25-27, in booth #641.
