SeeHawk™ Analytics Identifies and Locates
Performance-Impairing Interference
Patent Pending Algorithms Also Detect Rogue
Transmissions
Provides Exposure Index (EI) Assessment
PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCTI), a leader in Performance Critical
Telecom solutions, announced today a breakthrough product for
managing and mitigating performance-impairing interference in
wireless networks. SeeHawk™ Analytics, built upon the big data
platform acquired in 2015, applies eight innovative algorithms to
network data and identifies interference that would otherwise go
undetected. SeeHawk Analytics processes drive test data from
PCTEL’s IBflex® and MXflex® scanning receivers in the cloud.
Carriers, infrastructure vendors, or neutral host operators can
immediately apply SeeHawk Analytics to existing data to detect
interference hot spots. Using a simple map-based interface, SeeHawk
Analytics can pinpoint – to the level of a parking spot –
interference that can impair network capacity up to 50 percent.
“Interference mitigation challenges network operators on a daily
basis. The existing processes for detecting and locating
interference involve constant data collection, manual review of
network data, and inconsistent application of network knowledge to
resolving problems,” said Sumeet Paul, CIO and GM, Analytics and
Services for PCTEL’s RF Solutions. “SeeHawk Analytics establishes
network performance engineering rules and translates those rules
into sophisticated algorithms. SeeHawk Analytics applies those
algorithms to detect and locate interference. SeeHawk Analytics
will displace significant engineering costs and avoid unnecessary
infrastructure deployment,” added Paul.
“A year ago, we committed to applying ‘big data’ to the
resolution of performance critical network engineering issues,”
said David Neumann, PCTEL's Senior Vice President and General
Manager, RF Solutions. “Sumeet Paul has brought much needed
leadership to the SeeHawk Analytics product. SeeHawk Analytics will
meaningfully reduce carrier and OEM costs in resolving interference
and eliminating rogue transmissions. We are excited about our
expansion into the information business,” added Neumann.
PCTEL will offer interference management as part of its
engineering services to carriers, neutral hosts, and infrastructure
vendors. As part of a Service Level Agreement (SLA), PCTEL will
benchmark interference levels, develop plans for reducing
interference, and test the effectiveness of plan implementation.
The interference management service will be particularly important
to high-density venues. Finally, the same tool yields an Exposure
Index (EI) which assesses radiation safety levels.
