PCTEL Clears the Airwaves for LTE Multimedia Experiences

IBflex® Scanning Receiver Offers eMBMS Testing

PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCTI), a leader in Performance Critical Telecom solutions, announced that PCTEL's IBflex® now offers network quality testing for LTE’s evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (eMBMS) technology. The eMBMS technology simultaneously delivers event-specific, multimedia content to multiple users. It boosts capacity and provides additional revenue opportunities through integrated advertising. PCTEL’s IBflex scanning receiver conducts accurate network quality testing for eMBMS. Engineers utilize these unique measurements to ensure a high-quality, multimedia network experience for venue operators and their patrons.

“High-capacity venues are starting to deploy eMBMS. It reduces content delivery costs without investments in additional spectrum or infrastructure,” said David Neumann PCTEL’s Senior Vice President and General Manager, RF Solutions. “The IBflex provides performance critical measurements that reduce eMBMS deployment costs and enhance fan experience,” added Neumann.

The wireless industry relies upon PCTEL’s IBflex scanning receiver for cost-effective network testing. The centerpiece for PCTEL’s innovative portfolio of network test solutions, the IBflex can simultaneously test eight wireless technologies, including Wi-Fi, and at any commercial frequency. It permits engineers to download feature sets as they require them, and delivers the industry’s lowest cost of ownership. PCTEL’s network test solutions also include the SeeGull® CW transmitter for design-phase propagation testing, and SeeWave™, the company’s system for interference detection and location, spectrum clearing, and throughput optimization. SeeHawk Touch™, PCTEL’s Bluetooth® enabled tablet-based data collection and analysis tool, supports all of the latest IBflex features.
