6. Walk Test Kit
Information
This section discusses walk test options that
can be used with the SeeGull scanning
receivers.
Deployment of wireless data services is
resulting in further increases of in-building
traffic and coverage requirements. The
design, testing, 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 IB
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
