New features in the SeeHawk™ Central cloud
platform make it easy to track, review, and approve public safety
network coverage tests
PCTEL, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCTI), a leading global provider of
wireless technology solutions, announced a major new update to
SeeHawk™ Central, a cloud-based automation platform that helps
manage the process of testing and approving in-building
communications coverage for first responders. SeeHawk Central’s new
features enable public safety officials to efficiently communicate
requirements, review test results, and track buildings in their
jurisdiction.
As part of a broader push to ensure reliable public safety
communications for first responders, fire marshals and other
Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) increasingly require
in-building coverage testing as a condition for a building
occupancy permit. If coverage does not meet requirements, an
Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement System (ERCES) must
be installed and approved, and the building re-tested.
Multiple stakeholders must work together to usher buildings and
ERCES through this approval process, including building owners,
AHJs, providers of testing services, and managers of public safety
radio networks. SeeHawk Central provides a secure cloud platform
where all of these stakeholders can collaborate to streamline the
testing and approval process.
“From the beginning, we envisioned SeeHawk Central as a secure
platform for tracking critical communications coverage test results
for any building in the United States and across the world,” said
James Zik, PCTEL’s Vice President, Test and Measurement Product
Management. “The first release of SeeHawk Central focused on making
the testing and approval process easier for service providers with
workflow automation and cloud-based reporting tools. This second
release delivers significant benefits for public safety officials
and building owners while adding equipment room tests used for
commissioning an ERCES. Best of all, since PCTEL only charges users
who upload test data, most AHJs and public safety radio system
managers will be able to use SeeHawk Central for free.”
New features include:
- Simplified tracking and management of test plans and
results by jurisdiction
- All-new, streamlined reporting interface
- Support for more data, including equipment room tests
and 3rd party test results
- Specialized tools to compare results before and after an
ERCES is installed
- Automatic notifications with reminders of re-testing
dates
The second release of SeeHawk Central will be available in
November 2022 for all SeeHawk Central users.
To celebrate this launch, for a limited time PCTEL is offering a
FREE 6-month SeeHawk Central subscription with each purchase
of a PCTEL® public safety network testing solution kit.
