PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCTI), a leader in propagation and optimization
solutions for the wireless industry, and Anite plc (LSE:AIE), global
leaders in wireless testing and optimization, announced today the
availability of PCTEL’s new, high performance SeeGull® EX
scanning receiver and Anite’s Nemo OutdoorTM drive test
solution for LTE networks.
The powerful combination of the SeeGull EX for LTE and Nemo Outdoor
enables wireless operators and infrastructure vendors to perform the
critical field RF testing required for the deployment and optimization
of LTE networks. In particular, network engineers can now benefit from
robust SeeGull EX key measurements including a set of Top N measurement
modes (for both LTE synchronization channel and reference signals),
power level measurements, spectrum analysis, and the new Enhanced Power
Scan mode. Anite’s powerful Nemo Outdoor network measurement and
optimization solution combined with the SeeGull EX provides a
user-friendly and flexible solution that can support multiple devices
and technologies. Nemo Outdoor will support LTE terminals later this
year based on their availability.
"LTE technology is strategically important to the wireless industry as
we evolve to 4G and achieve convergence among the many commercial CDMA
and 3GPP wireless networks," said Neal Calanni, Director of Product
Management and Marketing at PCTEL's RF Solutions Group. "With this in
mind, we have brought the SeeGull EX for LTE to market to support the
initial trials and deployments. Our technology is used by the top tier
wireless test solution providers and we are delighted that Anite rapidly
integrated our LTE technology into their high-performance solution so
that we can both serve the LTE operators,” added Calanni.
"Our close cooperation with PCTEL has enabled us to be first in offering
a complete and robust solution for LTE. I am sure that it will be highly
valued by the front-line operators launching LTE networks and performing
verification in order to ensure that these deployments meet the
stringent new performance requirements,” said Kimmo Savolainen, Vice
President of Product Management at Anite Finland Ltd.
PCTEL’s SeeGull scanning receiver product line provides solutions for
all major wide-area wireless technologies including LTE, WiMAX,
WCDMA/GSM, CDMA/EV-DO, and TD-SCDMA. The new SeeGull EX for LTE is
available in a number of configuration options, including 700 MHz and
AWS bands for the US market, and 2600 and 1800 MHz for worldwide bands.
PCTEL and Anite will be exhibiting the SeeGull EX LTE scanning receiver
and the Nemo Outdoor solution at the GSMA Mobile World Congress 2009.
