PCTEL RF Solutions Launches SeeGull MXflex™ at Mobile World Congress

PCTEL’s Flagship Scanning Receiver Offered as Part of Ascom Network Testing’s TEMS™ Solutions

PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCTI), a leader in Performance Critical Telecom solutions, announced the launch of its flagship SeeGull® MXflex scanning receiver at Mobile World Congress. Ascom Network Testing, a leader in mobile network testing, optimization, and benchmarking solutions, will feature the SeeGull MXflex in booth 6L26 at MWC along with Ascom’s TEMS™ mobile network drive, walk, and analysis products. The MXflex features a flexible, multi-core processor that makes testing complex mobile networks more efficient.

Industry trends such as small cells, spectrum auctions, and in-building networks are driving increased network complexity. As network complexity grows, carriers need more powerful data collection platforms to manage their networks efficiently. The MXflex core can process data on concurrent technologies independently. This significantly increases the amount of data collected, giving operators a more complete picture of their most complex networks. Concurrency is also effective for regulators, neutral host providers, and other stakeholders who wish to benchmark multiple networks across multiple technologies.

“SeeGull MXflex stands alone in its ability to collect high-density, accurate data without restrictions on technology or band,” said David Neumann, PCTEL’s Senior Vice President and General Manager, RF Solutions. “Other scanning receivers on the market may tout parallel measurements, while actually capturing data sequentially. This can lead to inefficient network configurations and costly repeated testing. MXflex users will be able to collect the data they need with one scanning receiver, in a single test.”

“Ascom provides complete solutions that allow our customers to solve any challenge associated with testing complex networks,” said Rikard Lundqvist, General Manager, Ascom Network Testing. “The MXflex combines high power and speed with fewer restraints on technologies or bands, making it an important component of the TEMS line of solutions.”

Backed by an industry-leading five-year warranty, PCTEL’s MXflex is designed to support the present and future of wireless network testing. The scanner’s field-upgradeable software supports any cellular band from 130 MHz to 6 GHz. As LTE networks evolve, the MXflex will move beyond current dual-port scanning to support true MIMO measurements in 4x4 configurations.

The MXflex is also compatible with PCTEL’s innovative portfolio of network test tools. These include the SeeGull CW transmitter for design-phase propagation testing and the SeeWave™ interference locating system for spectrum clearing and throughput optimization.
