Comarco introduces integrated CDPD/voice cellular network evaluation system.IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 15, 1995--COMARCO Wireless Technologies Thursday announced that it is shipping the newest member of its wireless Network Evaluation Series product family, the NES-CDPD DV-1, an integrated Voice and Cellular Digital Packet Data (communications, protocol) Cellular Digital Packet Data - (CDPD) A wireless standard providing two-way, 19.2 kbps packet data transmission over exisiting cellular telephone channels. (CDPD (Cellular Digital Packet Data) A low-speed, digital, wireless data network that is an enhancement to an existing analog cellular network. Based on IBM's CelluPlan II, CDPD provides a packet overlay onto the AMPS network and moves data at 19. ) Network Analyzer A specialized hardware device or software in a desktop or laptop computer that captures packets transmitted in a network for routine inspection and problem detection. Also called a "sniffer," "packet sniffer," "packet analyzer," "traffic analyzer" and "protocol analyzer," the network . The NES-CDPD DV-1 is the first in a range of CDPD enabled products providing systematic analysis capabilities for use by cellular carriers deploying CDPD networks across America. Offering advanced measurement, analysis, benchmarking and network diagnostic facilities, the NES-CDPD DV-1 network analyzer allows cellular carriers to objectively determine the effectiveness of their CDPD data network deployment and to quantify its effect on existing cellular voice networks. Employing the Comarco concept of System Level Network analysis, the NES-CDPD products permits evaluation of network performance from the customer perspective, facilitating rapid network deployment while enhancing system quality and overall network integrity. "The continuous quality improvement methodology embodied in Comarco's Network Evaluation System (NES NES Nintendo Entertainment System NES Not Elsewhere Specified (shipping) NES Nuclear Export Signal NES National Election Studies NES Nashville Electric Service NES National Evaluation Systems, Inc. ) products has consistently proven to be the most objective and effective method of quantifying systematic problems inherent in today's increasingly complex mobile networks," said Mark Chapman, Director of Business Development. "The NES-CDPD DV-1 continues Comarco's commitment to providing leading edge, innovative solutions for cellular system analysis, extending its operation to the challenges presented by new wireless data networks." Using the NEX NEX abbr. Navy exchange CDPD network analyzer and its programmable scenario facilities, network operations staff will be able to quantify many system level parameters including: CDPD service coverage, CDPD service quality and performance benchmarking, interaction and interference with the cellular voice network, logging and analysis of system exceptions and significant network events, post test analysis and diagnostic review, and generation of service coverage/quality maps and voice network overlays. In addition to a suite of CDPD diagnostic aids, the NES-CDPD DV-1 supports dual mode AMPS/TDMA voice operation and offers programmable call scenarios, fast scanning RF monitor, six-channel GPS navigation See GPS. , DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive audio signal analyzer, real time decoding of SAT and a comprehensive range of Windows(TM)-based real time software tools. Data gathered using NES-CDPD products can be used along with Comarco Data Reduction software to compile a wide range of management reports aiding network evaluation and improving customer service. The information gathered and filtered by the NES CDPD analyzer can also be imported directly into popular mapping programs such as MapInfo(TM) providing rapid and accurate service coverage and quality maps. The NES-CDPD DV-1 is designed for transportability and is ruggedized for harsh field operation conditions, extending product lifetime and reducing service and down time. This makes the CDPD series ideally suited for vehicle mounted testing, cell site field analysis and post test playback. The NES-CDPD DV-1 is available now.
