PCTEL's introduces CDMA2000 1xEV-DO scanning receiver

October 29, 2004

PCTEL announced that its RF Solutions Group introduced a high-performance CDMA2000 1xEV-DO scanning receiver to its SeeGull LX product line. The new SeeGull LX EV-DO scanner will support CDMA operators worldwide who are transitioning to next generation high-speed wireless data networks.

Cellular operators and network engineers will use the new SeeGull LX EV-DO scanner to increase the capacity and the quality of networks, while reducing the need for capital expenditures. The SeeGull LX EV-DO scanning receiver simplifies the installation, commissioning, optimization and maintenance of EV-DO networks by delivering reliable and accurate network performance measurements. These measurements are used to improve network coverage, minimize RF interference and optimize network parameters. PCTEL's SeeGull LX EV-DO scanning receiver also provides the ability to identify pilot pollution and help network engineers with network troubleshooting and root cause analysis.

"Our new EV-DO scanner solution provides accurate, reliable, high-speed, RF measurements that will help network operators minimize infrastructure costs," commented Larry Swift, General Manager of PCTEL's RF Solutions Group.

The SeeGull LX EV-DO scanning receiver supports single or dual-band operation in the Cellular 800 MHz and PCS 1900 MHz bands and features Top N scanning, RSSI measurements and a built-in spectrum analyzer. The receiver is also designed for use with the SeeGull LX CDMA2000 1xRTT scanner. Used together these scanners deliver necessary measurements for carriers managing EV-DO overlays that involve hand-off and interoperability between EV-DO and 1XRTT.
