Company Announces Industry’s First Drive and
Walk Testing System to Measure P25 Uplink Signal Quality
PCTEL, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCTI), a leading global provider of
wireless technology solutions, announced its latest innovative
testing solution for P25 public safety radio networks with the
industry’s first automated uplink drive and walk testing. The
majority of public safety radio coverage issues occur on the
uplink, which is the signal from a handset to the radio site.
PCTEL’s solution is the first to incorporate uplink measurements
into a drive or walk testing system.
“Until now, radio network managers had no practical or reliable
way of testing the uplink channel across their coverage area,” said
James Zik, PCTEL’s Vice President, Test and Measurement Product
Management. “This solution will help radio network managers deliver
more reliable critical communications coverage for public safety
and emergency response teams including police, fire, and EMS.”
PCTEL’s SeeHawk® Touch software incorporates uplink power and
signal quality measurements into the standard drive or walk testing
procedures used for network planning, troubleshooting, quality
assurance, baseline, and acceptance testing. During testing, the
technician activates a radio handset, and PCTEL’s SeeHawk™ Monitor
system measures the signal received at the radio base station site.
After the test is complete, SeeHawk Touch synchronizes and combines
uplink data with downlink measurements collected during the drive
or walk test into a single report.
PCTEL announced outdoor uplink testing at IWCE, the
International Wireless Communications Expo. IWCE attendees can
learn more about uplink testing by attending a talk with David
Adams, PCTEL’s Director of Market Development at 11:30 a.m. on
March 27 or visiting Booth #2638 March 29-30.
The outdoor uplink testing feature is expected to be released in
April 2023, and will be available as a software update for existing
users with current support and maintenance agreements. Contact
PCTEL to learn more.
