PCTEL Opens New Office to Meet Rising Demand for Engineering Services

RF Solutions Services Team Expands to Address In-Building Wireless Coverage and Optimization Needs

PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCTI), a leader in simplifying wireless and site solutions for private and public networks, announced the expansion of PCTEL RF Solutions’ engineering services with the opening of a new facility in Melbourne, Florida. The move will see the group triple in size to keep pace with rapid increase in demand for in-building testing and commissioning services, as operators look for solutions to lower costs and improve network experience.

With indoor traffic accounting for about 80 percent of all mobile data, traditional outdoor macro cell sites frequently struggle to deliver users’ expected Quality of Service to high-density indoor locations. To compensate, operators are adopting in-building Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) and small cell architectures. This approach creates network design challenges which PCTEL’s engineering services meets with specialized technology and expertise in the design and commissioning of wireless networks for indoor settings.

“Multiple technologies, multi-carrier requirements, and limited property access can create complex testing environments, while interference between macro and in-building networks can complicate deployments,” said Bob Joslin, PCTEL’s Vice President of Engineering Services. “Operators are increasingly turning to outside specialists with extensive expertise and the right testing tools as a cost-effective solution to identify and overcome these difficulties.”

Quickly identifying interference problems and maximizing the effectiveness of a network’s design and configuration can lower overall project costs and improve network performance, including both network capacity and LTE throughput. PCTEL’s engineering services provide customers with immediate access to the benefits of industry-leading knowledge and tools. The engineering services team brings advanced understanding of all major radio frequency technologies, scanning receivers, transmitters, in-building design, and post-processing tools, with a proven success record.

Joslin continued, “This marks a significant step in the development of the services business for PCTEL. The new office in Melbourne is a foundation to evolve as we further establish our engineering services as a premier method to facilitate improved in-building network performance.”
