BVS Releases DragNet™ WiMAX Mobile Site Survey Software
Metuchen, NJ -- October 1, 2008 -- Berkeley Varitronics Systems, Inc., the leader in portable testing tools, is proud to release DragNet WiMAX site survey mapping coverage software at WiMAX World 2008.
DragNet™ combines the power of realtime YellowFin™ WiMAX measurements with GPS geo-coding accuracy. First, create your survey bitmaps with Berkeley's GPS PROJECTOR software. Next, simply drive to any spot with GPS reception while DragNet™ COLLECTOR scans selected WiMAX Mobile channels and correlates them to your exact location automatically via GPS. GPS measurements provide both LAT and LON as well as time stamping for a complete WiMAX survey path anywhere in the world. Survey data such as RSSI, Cell ID & Segment ID data on a preamble basis may be exported into DragNet's ANALYZER for further mapping coverage studies in multiple graphical and tabular layouts. Surveys may be exported further into KML files for plotting in applications such as Google Earth™.
"DragNet offers a complete site survey solution for our Mobile WiMAX customers looking to perform drive-studies and post processing analysis of their WiMAX networks while still in the field", says Scott Schober, BVS President & CEO.
YellowFin™ is available now. Call 1-888-737-4287, visit www.bvsystems.com or BOOTH # 210 at WiMAX World 2008 from October 1-2.
YellowFin™ utilizes the Samsung Q1 Ultra tablet UMPC as an interface in conjunction with Berkeley's precision receiver technology for complete spectrum analysis as well as WiMAX packet demodulation. The receiver sweeps the 2.0 - 5.9 GHz spectrums to within +1.5 dB accuracy. YellowFin™ performs full spectrum analysis allowing RF engineers to see the whole wireless network picture. Features include power triggers, peak hold/search, markers and multiple waveform traces. WiMAX packet analysis includes RSSI measurements for ID cell & segment, multipath analysis and CINR (Carrier-to-Interference-plus-Noise-Ratios) on a preamble basis. The optional DF (Direction Finding) Antenna allows engineers to pinpoint sources of WiMAX interference, rogue base stations and even nearby hackers. |
