I Scanning Receiver
Concurrent, Flexible Network Testing
CHALLENGE,
Today's wireless networks utilize a wide range of physical infrastructure,
technology protocols, and frequency bands. Network configurations
vary by region and carrier. Even an individual carrier's network in a single
geographic location can be exceedingly complex. A given network may
include multiple technologies and bands deployed in a heterogeneous
network of small cells. Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS), and macro cells.
Cutting-edge technologies such as LTE Advanced carrier aggregation and
Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMOl add further complexity that can
frequently lead to inefficient data collection. To collect accurate data,
engineers must use multiple scanning receivers in parallel. or repeat each
walk or drive test with differently configured equipment. Either method
can utilize CAPEX and OPEX resources that could otherwise be spent
on improvements to the network.
SOLUTION , The SeeGull MXflex
The SeeGull MXflex empowers engineers to collect complete data with one
scanner in a single test. PCTEt..:s most advanced scanning receiver. the
MXflex has the power and flexibility to accurately test today's complex
wireless networks. It combines the concurrent data collection of the
SeeGull MX with the flexible configuration of PCTEt..:s innovative flex line.
The scanner features software definable. field-upgradeable support of
frequency bands from 130 MZ to 6 GHz. The MXfJex's design includes
a modular front end and parallel high performance signal processing
engines. This enables it to acquire_ process. and report data from all3GPP
defined RF bands across all major technologies at the same time. Multiple
technology and band concurrency allows it to maintain full speed and
