In-Vehicle or Internet Cloud Server Processes Handheld and Tablet Indoor Measurement Data

Enhancell announced today that it had successfully integrated PCTEL’s (NASDAQ: PCTI) IBflex® with its ECHO™ handheld and tablet-based tools. These tools are optimized for remote, low-cost, in-building data collection by technicians. They have strong applications in field-deployed networks for military or SCADA applications. Cloud-based or in-vehicle based servers handle all sophisticated control, processing and analysis. The integration of IBflex enhances the data and network characterization. Enhancell is commercially available and deployed in cellular operator and military applications. PCTEL’s IBflex has been commercially available for over two years and is the dominant scanning receiver solution for in-building applications. It has been deployed globally for benchmarking and optimizing both indoor and outdoor networks.

Carriers, infrastructure OEMs, and engineering firms can access the Enhancell cloud-based server on a subscription basis or opt for a hosted service. The tablets and handheld test tools are available in single or multi-technology versions. Separately, Enhancell is disclosing its file format to PCTEL so that all ECHO and Enhancell data will be available for cloud-based Meridian™ processing.

“We have long recognized PCTEL as the industry leader in developing and providing flexible and high performance scanning receivers,” said Pasi Niemi, Enhancell’s founder and CEO. “The combination of high-quality scanning receiver data and handheld acquired subscriber data will support network performance engineering. The ability to utilize cloud-based servers to process the data will revolutionize the value proposition for test and measurement solutions,” added Niemi.

“PCTEL encourages test and measurement OEM vendors to integrate its industry-leading IBflex® as part of their overall solution,” said Marty Singer, PCTEL’s Chairman and CEO. “Now, with Meridian, we can offer a hosted, cloud-based analysis of acquired data. Network information can be stored over long periods of time and analyzed across geographic and network boundaries. We believe that cloud-based, crowd-based big data analysis represents the future of network performance engineering,” added Singer.
