SeeGull" MXf/ex N 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 ) (\ • accuracy while measuring complex networks. for high resolution data density when compared to other scanning receivers. No extra test runs or additional scanning receivers are required . • SCiinners .!' pctel com ______________________________ - ~==========~----~4'~ ~- | SeeGull MXflex | Features 130 MHz 2 | Supports simultaneous data collection, with up to six technologies and no band limitations, including uplink and downlink. 6 GHz Software definable, field-upgradeable support of frequency bands from 130 MHz to 6 GHz.
