PCTEL Launches SeeWave™BARCELONA, Spain --(Business Wire)-- PCTEL (News - Alert), Inc. (NASDAQ: PCTI), a leader in simplifying wireless and site solutions for private and public networks, announced the launch of SeeWave™, an interference detection and location system, at Mobile World Congress today. Interference severely impacts network performance. On 4G LTE (News - Alert) network deployments, the effects of interference may include significantly reduced data throughput rates and Quality of Service. SeeWave streamlines the expensive and time consuming task of detecting and locating interfering signals, a crucial step in restoring network performance. SeeWave uses advanced spectrum analysis and proprietary algorithms to identify interference and locate its source. SeeWave utilizes PCTEL's leading edge SeeGull® scanning receiver. A host platform links the scanner to both a direction-finding antenna and a touchscreen tablet. The platform can be held comfortably in one hand while the user operates SeeWave's intuitive software application. Scanning receiver, platform, antenna, and tablet combine to create an economical, easy-to-use, and highly effective interference hunting system. SeeWave capabilities can be layered onto deployed EX and MX scanning receivers. A custom, purpose built PCTEL antenna enables accurate interference location. "As spectrum allocations evolve and frequency bands are re-farmed, interference becomes increasingly disruptive to mobile networks," said David Neumann, PCTEL's Vice President and General Manager, RF Solutions. "SeeWave helps operators eliminate quality robbing interferers and optimize network performance. Customers can use SeeWave with current scanning receivers, thus leveraging their initial PCTEL invstment in SeeGull scanners," added Neumann. SeeWave marks PCTEL's second new product announcement at Mobile World Congress. Yesterday, it introduced the SeeGull IBflex™ scanning receiver. The portable scanner is designed especially for in-building walk testing. It features hot swappable batteries, and it can be used to test WiFi (News - Alert) along with all major wireless technologies. IBflex is one of many PCTEL scanner models which will be fully compatible with SeeWave.
