Berkeley Varitronics (News - Alert) Systems (BVC), offering wireless propagation test equipment, has bagged an additional contract from NextG Networks, a player in outdoor DAS Networks, for 30 drive-study systems comprised of Coyote modular receivers and Dragon 5 watt transmitters for the AWS 2.1 GHz band.

 

NextG Networks deploys and manages DAS Networks that are protocol-neutral and support multiple wireless carriers, services, and technologies. With the drive-study systems from BVS, NextG Networks is able to enhance wireless performance.

 

Coyote modular receivers and Dragon 5 watt transmitters are part of the drive-study system. Coyote, a high performance, modular receiver system provides two unique and independent RSSI measurements using precision dual receivers as well as offers hot-swappable components including removable/rechargeable Li-Ion battery, Compact Flash storage, removable 12-channel GPS receiver module and two removable receiver modules.

 

Dragon is a lightweight, DC powered transmitter system composed of dual independent, 5-watt transmitter modules giving the user freedom to transmit on any 2 frequency bands from anywhere without expensive and bulky additional transmitters.

 

Wireless service providers use NextG to improve coverage, increase capacity and lower costs. The current order given to BVS is aimed at helping service providers to effectively measure how well signals will propagate within the AWS bands.

 

To meet such needs, BVS has introduced over 50 unique wireless test devices for a variety of applications including the popular Cellular, iDEN, PCS, CDMA, RFID, WiMAX, 802.11b/a/g & Bluetooth specifications.

Top AWS license holders are racing to upgrade their networks with advanced technologies that will allow them to deploy higher quality voice services as well as data services.

 

The FCC (News - Alert) auctioned off the Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) spectrum raising nearly $14 Billion at the end of 2006.
