Upgraded Andrew Scanner Measures GSM Bands More Efficiently

Network evolution often means multiple technologies such as
WCDMA or LTE operating in frequency bands that were traditionally
GSM only. To assist network testers in such mixed signal
environments, Andrew Solutions, the CommScope, Inc. division that
is a global leader in wireless communication systems and products,
is introducing patent-pending functionality to its easy-to-use
i.Scan™ digital scanner that makes measuring GSM channels
easier.
“We made this upgrade in response to our customers needing to
improve operational efficiency,” said John Baker, vice president
and general manager, Network Solutions, Andrew. “Testing the
quality and coverage of wireless networks especially as new
technologies are introduced in mixed frequency bands is an ongoing
industry need, which the enhanced i.Scan performs more
quickly.”
Andrew has added new proprietary signal processing techniques to
i.Scan, which more rapidly filter out wideband signals and analyze
GSM channels in a mixed technology cellular environment. This
enhancement means that network testers will no longer need to know
the GSM channel sets in advance of testing since i.Scan will sort
the channels automatically. The result is faster scan rates than
those that occur when traditional scanning receivers try to decode
mixed RF signals, freeing network testers to utilize better the
processing power of i.Scan.
“The easy upgrade path and multi-band testing capability of the
i.Scan was designed with cost savings in mind for the operators,”
added Baker. “The signal recognition enhancement for GSM bands is
intended to make network testing more efficient.”
The i.Scan digital scanning receiver is capable of measuring and
decoding GSM, CDMA, WCDMA, EV-DO, HSDPA and LTE technologies, as
desired. With two down converter modules that can test up to six
frequency bands simultaneously, i.Scan offers wireless operators
multi-functionality, an easy upgrade path, and a lower total cost
of ownership tool. The i.Scan unit communicates using standard
Ethernet connections, and thanks to its simplified plug-and-play
design, even non-experienced technicians can utilize it.
