PCTEL Engineers Recommend Best Wireless
Carriers for RFID-based Luggage Tracking System
PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCTI), a leader in Performance
Critical Telecom solutions, announced the successful
completion of network testing at more than 300 domestic and
international airports in support of a major airline’s baggage
tracking initiative. The initiative uses RFID scanners, which
require a reliable connection to a wireless network.
To help the airline choose the best networks for their tracking
system, PCTEL compared multiple tier 1 carriers at each airport.
PCTEL’s test engineers followed a bag’s journey through the system
from check-in, through various holding rooms, to the tarmac. Along
the way, they collected RF measurements on both 3G and 4G
technologies for each carrier’s network. PCTEL engineers analyzed
the data and filed concise reports for the airline. The results
determined the best carrier and technology to program the RFID
scanners at each airport.
“PCTEL’s combination of specialized test equipment and
experienced engineers gives our customers the most accurate
possible information on network quality, coverage, and
reliability,” said Bob Joslin, Vice President and General Manager
of Network Engineering Services. “In the past, when we have
conducted network testing at airports, the goal has been to improve
service for travelers in terminals, restaurants, and other public
spaces. But network reliability is even more important for an
RFID-based luggage tracking system. Our data gave the airline
critical information to make its system as reliable and efficient
as possible.”
In addition to the recommendations for the airline, PCTEL has
offered its reports to the wireless carriers at each site. When
carriers receive specific testing data for their network, they can
identify problem areas and allocate resources to optimize their
networks to further increase the connection reliability of the
airline’s luggage scanners.
