BVS Launches WiMAX Pre-Deployment And Testing Kit
BVS proudly announces the release and availability of a complete WiMAX pre-deployment testing solution that includes a stimulus transmitter, modular receiver, handheld power meter and a complete site survey drive-study PC software package. In addition, the WiMAX KIT components all fit into one ruggedized, hard transport Pelican case. The WiMAX kit will be demonstrated as part of BVS' "Ready...Set...WiMAX!" campaign at booth 7127 at this year's CTIA 2008 in Las Vegas running between April 1-3.
"With rapid build-out of WiMAX networks both domestically and internationally and the frenzied bidding on recently opened frequency blocks such as 700 MHz, BVS sees a wide opening in the market for turnkey, pre-deployment WiMAX testing and simulation solutions.", says Scott Schober, BVS President & CEO.
The WiMAX kit comes ready for engineers and installers right out of the box with a choice of three popular frequencies: 700 MHz, 2.5 GHz or 3.5 GHz. Berkeley's popular Gator Class A stimulus transmitter simulates proprosed tower sites. The included YellowFrog 2 power meter validates precise RF output levels at the antenna end. Drive-studies, walk-about or in-building studies may then be performed with the dual Coyote modular receiver. From there, geo-coded, drive-study data can be post-processed using Berkeley's Forecaster site survey mapping software. By performing WiMAX pre-deployment surveys, carriers can stay ahead of the curve by visualizing and preventing problems such as overlap, interference and network holes in coverage.
