EDX Wireless (News - Alert) has added WirelessLogix to its Vendor Partner Program as the first drive test manufacturer to join the EDX ecosystem.

 

As per the partner agreement, the data collected by WirelessLogix' XCAL-X tool can be used in EDX SignalPro directly, without any data conversion processes. According to EDX Wireless, the smooth integration between the network planning tool and the data derived by the network drive test tool is expected to bring increased value to the engineering process. In addition, the direct access to the mentioned data saves time for RF engineers and according to company officials, makes the process more consistent and repeatable.

 

As part of the network planning process, officials explained, EDX SignalPro uses the drive test data to provide a comparison of predicted versus measured coverage, and also to automatically tune propagation models used to predict network performance. Also, the data can be used to determine the signal loss caused by clutter, such as trees.

 

“EDX's WiMAX customers are pleased to see this integration with WirelessLogix,” Ted Hicks, vice president of Product Management at EDX Wireless, said in a press release. “WirelessLogix has the first complete real-time WiMAX data collection tool and providing this integration is a natural addition to the ecosystem we're building to support our growing customer base.”

 

Indicating that WirelessLogix is quite excited to expand its partnership with EDX in support of the WiMAX (News - Alert) ecosystem, Larry Smith, COO at WirelessLogix, commented, “Our customers are calling for an integrated solution that supports both WiMAX network design and optimization, and the partnership with EDX satisfies this request.”
