PCTEL RF Solutions Launches SeeGull MXflex™ at Mobile World Congress
PCTEL (News - Alert), 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 (News - Alert) 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 (News - Alert) 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 portfoli
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.
