The added indoor support includes a Tablet PC, a new battery pack, and a carrying pouch, making InSite a compact and easy-to-use indoor site survey tool. When used along with the SeeGull(TM) TX WCDMA UMTS Transmitter, the InSite(TM) Wireless Test System provides a complete and very cost-effective solution for deploying indoor WCDMA networks.

CLARIFY(TM) Intelligent GSM RF Interference Management

CLARIFY(TM) is an industry-leading RF propagation and interference measurement system that provides network operators with precise and comprehensive propagation measurements, enabling them to significantly increase their ability to manage and maximize network performance, coverage and quality of service. With its ability for unparalleled C/I detection up to -20dB, CLARIFY(TM) enables the collection of key-up quality propagation data without key-up disruption.

Additionally, for those carriers deploying GPRS and EDGE, CLARIFY(TM) delivers the accurate C/I coverage maps needed to map out and manage effective data coverage.
