PCTEL Launches SeeGull(TM) CDMA/EV-DO 450 Scanner Solution; Enables Simultaneous Collection of CDMA and EV-DO RF Measurements in the 450MHz Frequency Band.CHICAGO -- PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :PCTI PCTI Passaic County Technical Institute (Wayne, New Jersey) PCTI Provider Tag Control Information ), a global leader in wireless broadband High-speed wireless transmission of data. What is "high" speed is always a changing number. Wireless systems are typically slower than land-based, wireline networks. In the past, wireless broadband started at 250 Kbps, whereas land-based broadband was generally considered to start at T1 solutions, announced today the commercial availability of a new SeeGull(TM) CDMA/EV-DO scanner solution for the 450MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. frequency band. PCTEL's CDMA/EV-DO 450 scanner solution addresses the drive testing Wireless service providers (especially in the USA) to build maps of signal strength for designing networks base stations, use a mobile setup with a spectrum analyzer, antenna and drive through the areas, thereby creating these signal-strength maps. This is called drive-testing. and RF measurement needs of wireless carriers who are deploying CDMA/EV-DO network solutions in the old NMT (Nordic Mobile Telephone) An analog cellular phone system deployed in more than 40 countries in Europe. Launched in the Scandinavian countries in 1979, NMT was the first analog cellphone system. Both 450 MHz and 900 MHz versions are available. See cellular generations. 450 frequency bands in Scandinavia, Europe and Asia. The PCTEL SeeGull CDMA/EV-DO 450 scanner offers carriers simultaneous RF measurement collection for both CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a shared portion of the spectrum. The foremost application of CDMA is the digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800 MHz band and 1.9 GHz PCS band. and EV-DO (EVolution-Data Only) A 3G high-speed digital data service provided by cellular carriers worldwide that use the CDMA technology, including Verizon and Sprint in the U.S. EV-DO works on EV-DO cellphones as well as laptops and portable devices that have EV-DO modems. networks. This enables the carrier to map out both voice and data coverage and to better plan and optimize their networks. Experience in other frequency bands has shown that when CDMA and EV-DO networks are deployed together, they need to be measured and optimized separately for maximum performance. "We are pleased to be able to respond to the market demand for 450MHz variants of our popular CDMA and EV-DO scanner solutions," said Luis Rugeles, Director of Marketing and Product Management for PCTEL's RF Solutions Group. With most 450MHz carriers deploying both CDMA and EV-DO in the same service areas, a solution that offers the ability to simultaneously measure RF from both air interfaces greatly reduces the time and effort needed to optimize the network. In addition, simultaneous data collection simplifies troubleshooting issues related to the interaction between CDMA and EV-DO networks," added Rugeles. PCTEL's SeeGull product line includes scanner solutions covering all the major wireless technologies as well as indoor solutions and a WCDMA (Wideband CDMA) A 3G high-speed digital data service provided by cellular carriers that use the TDMA or GSM technology worldwide, including AT&T (formerly Cingular) and T-Mobile in the U.S. transmitter for indoor coverage planning. The accuracy and reliability of SeeGull measurements makes this data ideal as inputs for use in propagation management, frequency and cell planning applications. The product is available globally and is sold directly or integrated within many of the leading drive test solutions. About PCTEL PCTEL, Inc.
