Applicability
The SeeGull MX Scanning Receiver
conducts drive test and site-specific
measurements of mobile networks around
the world to optimize wireless network
performance, survey tower sites, monitor
base stations, demodulate RF signals and
analyze wireless market data.
The SeeGull MX Scanning Receiver is a
software-defined receiver, capable of
supporting multiple protocols and up to 8
frequency ranges. It can be configured for
TD-LTE, LTE FDD, UMTS
[WCDMA/HSPA(+)], CDMA, EV-DO and
GSM technologies. The following bands are
supported for LTE FDD with a subset of
these bands supported for UMTS
[WCDMA/HSPA(+)], CDMA, EV-DO and
GSM:
