PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCTI), a leading provider of wireless solutions, today announced the availability of its new WiMAX SeeGull® Scanning Receiver. The new WiMAX EX Mini supports the 2.5GHz and 3.5GHz bands and provides high-speed, high performance measurements previously unavailable for this technology.
The rapid global growth of WiMAX licenses and networks creates immediate demand for WiMAX-based engineering tools and solutions. PCTEL’s new EX family of scanning receivers satisfies the need for high quality data pertaining to WiMAX technology. Wireless operators will benefit from the real-time high-speed measurements and the ability to keep pace with network change and growth.
“Our recent and live network tests with WiMAX operators demonstrate the critical importance of high speed measurements when deploying and optimizing WiMAX," said Luis Rugeles, General Manager of PCTEL’s RF Solutions Group. "PCTEL has a long history of providing reliable and long term future solutions to early adopters of new technologies. WiMAX operators have therefore shown much interest in EX based solutions that are not only very high performance but also reliable and proven. We are already engaged with some of these operators to define future functionality enhancements,” added Rugeles.
The SeeGull scanning receiver product line includes solutions covering all major wide-area wireless technologies, including WCDMA/GSM, CDMA/EV-DO, TD-SCDMA, and WiMAX, as well as solutions for indoor coverage planning. The accuracy and reliability of SeeGull measurements make this data ideal for use in RF propagation management, frequency allocation, and other cell planning applications. SeeGull EX scanning receivers are available through the leading global providers of drive test solutions and directly from PCTEL.
PCTEL will showcase the new SeeGull EX Receiver for WiMAX along with its other scanning receiver products and its entire portfolio of wireless solutions at the 2008 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. The PCTEL booth will be located at 2C71 in Hall 2.
