Dynamic Telecommunications Announces Major Enhancements to Its WCDMA
September 23, 2002
Dynamic Telecommunications (DTI), a provider of high-speed, multi-standard
wireless test and measurement solutions, announced today the introduction
of an enhanced 4.0 version of its UMTS WCDMA Scanning Receiver.
This precise, DSP-based scanning receiver provides service-critical
measurement of 3G wireless WCDMA networks. Many service providers'
3G migration plans call for WCDMA to be their solution, and it is
therefore forecasted to be one of the most widely deployed protocols
across the globe.
"While no one really walks around with a cell phone saying, 'Can
you hear me now?,' the precise and constant measurement, mapping
and optimization of wireless networks is critical to service providers,"
said Paul Kline, chief executive officer of DTI. "In an industry
where service providers are losing around a third of their customers
every year to competitors, our technology is being used to improve
network coverage and enhance customer retention."
The UMTS WCDMA Scanning Receiver is keeping pace with evolving
wireless 3G needs, with increased scanning rates and wider bandwidth
measurements. There are a number of significant improvements in
the 4.0 release including a signal acquisition time as fast as 60
milliseconds; more frequency agility; rake receiver capability,
which ascertains precisely where a mobile phone will have reception
problems; and greater signal sensitivity. The new release includes
both software and hardware improvements that make it possible for
wireless service providers to ensure the most robust and reliable
network coverage.
"Our new scanning receiver for WCDMA networks, with PSCH acquisition,
is much faster than anything on the market," said Kline. "The enhanced
unit has been in Beta tests with major wireless test tool manufacturers,
and we've received extremely positive feedback. We see this product
as a major component in our future OEM growth strategy."
