BLOOMINGDALE, Ill. & CAMBRIDGE, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 27, 2018--
PCTEL, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCTI), a leader in Performance Critical
TELecom solutions, and Ranplan announced the integration of
Ranplan Professional with PCTEL’s SeeHawk® Touch data collection
software to streamline in-building wireless network design, planning,
and optimization. The next generation of wireless networks will
incorporate new technologies such as 5G alongside existing cellular,
Wi-Fi, and public safety networks. Together, SeeHawk Touch and Ranplan
Professional enable onsite engineers to measure, model, and visualize
the complex interactions between these technologies.
SeeHawk Touch and Ranplan Professional allow engineers to make immediate
assessments and adjustments. SeeHawk Touch software collects and
analyzes real-world RF data from PCTEL’s industry-leading scanning
receivers. Ranplan Professional then incorporates this data into
advanced 3D visualizations and network propagation modeling. An upgrade
to SeeHawk Touch will be released allowing Touch and Ranplan
Professional to work together seamlessly. The combined system will
support network design and planning for a wide range of wireless
technologies, including 3G, 4G LTE, LTE-A, CBRS, LAA, NB-IoT, Wi-Fi,
P25, and 5G New Radio.
“SeeHawk Touch and Ranplan Professional will enable network operators
and building owners to prepare for a wide variety of uses, including
emergency response, industrial IoT deployments, smart building
automation, and even virtual reality,” said Rishi Bharadwaj, PCTEL’s
COO. “PCTEL’s scanning receivers provide the complete and accurate data
that engineers need to solve today’s complex RF problems," added
Bharadwaj.
“SeeHawk Touch and PCTEL scanning receiver data complement Ranplan’s
ability to model the complex interactions between indoor and outdoor
wireless environments,” said Alastair Williamson, Ranplan’s CEO.
“Ranplan’s innovative modeling incorporates key components of the
HetNet, including hybrid indoor/outdoor, macro, small cell, DAS, Wi-Fi,
and backhaul.”
