SeeGull® MXflex® Scanning Receiver Supports
Latest Cellular Network Upgrades
PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCTI), a leader in Performance Critical
Telecom solutions, announced the release of 4x4 Multiple Input
Multiple Output (MIMO) measurement capability for LTE networks on
its SeeGull® MXflex® scanning receiver at Mobile World Congress. If
properly optimized, 4x4 MIMO has the potential to nearly double
throughput rates compared to the more commonly deployed 2x2 MIMO.
As the industry’s only scanner that supports true 4x4 MIMO testing
without additional equipment or software, the MXflex delivers the
information carriers need to successfully leverage this exciting
technology.
"Carriers have already deployed 4x4 MIMO in key areas of their
networks and have been public about their intentions for aggressive
expansion," said David Neumann, PCTEL's Senior Vice President and
General Manager, RF Solutions. "The MXflex is PCTEL’s most powerful
scanning receiver, built for testing the most demanding LTE and
multi-technology networks. It enables accurate and efficient
testing, ensuring that network investments translate to better
Quality of Service," added Neumann.
The MXflex supports the most demanding wireless networks through
a flexible band, flexible technology architecture that processes
multiple signals in parallel. The optional 4x4 MIMO feature scans
all 16 signal paths between four transmitting antennas and four
receiving antennas in a single MXflex during a single test. Even
when operating the 4x4 MIMO feature, the MXflex supports concurrent
testing of multiple technologies, including LTE, WCDMA, EV-DO,
CDMA, and GSM. Customers can upgrade their existing MXflex units
remotely to include 4x4 MIMO, or any additional features,
technologies, or bands that are currently available.
