6.  Walk Test Kit Information 

This section discusses walk test options that 
can be used with the SeeGull Scanning 
Receiver system. 

Deployment of wireless data services is 
resulting in further increases of in-building 
traffic and coverage requirements. The 
measurement, enhancement and 
optimization of indoor coverage are now an 
increasingly important aspect of wireless 
engineering. 

The PCTEL SeeHawk Walk Test Kit 
comprises a complete set of accessories 
that enable the indoor use of the PCTEL 
SeeGull EX

flex

 Scanning Receiver. The 

Walk Test Kit provides a cost effective 
solution for evaluating existing in-building 
coverage and for planning, deploying and 
testing indoor coverage systems. 

The PCTEL

’s Walk Test Kit provides the 

right solution for 

“Walk Testing” that enables 

wireless engineers to address the three key 
steps of in-building coverage assessment 
and planning: 

  Evaluating In-building Coverage 

from Outside Networks 

 

Planning New In-Building Networks

 

 

Coverage Validation for New or 
Existing In-Building Networks

 

6.1.  Walk Test Kits 

PCTEL offers a Walk Test Kit for the 
SeeGull EX

flex
