CHICAGO, Mar 14, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCTI), a global leader in simplifying mobility, announced today the availability of new SeeGull^® LX Dual-Mode Scanning Receivers which provide simultaneous RF measurements for carriers who are migrating from 2.5G to 3G. PCTEL's dual mode receiver solutions address migration from GSM to WCDMA (UMTS) networks and CDMA to EVDO networks. PCTEL will demonstrate its dual-mode receivers at CTIA's Wireless 2005 Show in New Orleans, March 14-16 (Booth 5013).

Leveraging the high-speed SeeGull^® LX platform, these scanning receivers help wireless operators meet their network coverage, capacity and quality objectives as they deploy overlay networks and manage the transition to 2.5G and 3G.

The GSM/WCDMA Dual-Mode receiver delivers the combined features and functionality of the SeeGull^® LX WCDMA and GSM scanning receivers, including a built-in spectrum analyzer; RSSI, BSIC, C/I and BCCH Layer 3 messages for GSM; and RSSI, Pilot, Top N, Timeslot, SIR, and Rake Finger count for WCDMA. The CDMA/EVDO Dual-Mode receiver incorporates the functionality of the EVDO and CDMA receivers providing operators with the data they need to operate and optimize both networks.

"PCTEL has responded to the needs of wireless carriers as they transition to 3G while maintaining quality and growing capacity in their legacy voice networks," said Larry Swift, General Manager for PCTEL's RF Solutions Group. "We are pleased to provide scanner solutions which can collect data on both networks simultaneously and in doing so simplify the RF engineering task."
