TSMx Scanner Benefits

l Higher performance than test mobiles can deliver l The mobiles can only see what the base station them tells to see l Hidden neighbourhoods l Pilot Pollution and interference causes are not detectable l No costs and no capacity is allocated l Spectrum analysis provides a detection of external interferences l Independent of mobile chipsets > reference l Higher level and time accuracy compared to mobile based measurements l Use of only one unit for different networks and applications l Cheaper compared to many band-dedicated units
TSMx Scanner useful for

l Detection of Missing Neighbor Cells l Pilot Pollution Analysis l Interference Hunting (In- and Out-Band) l BTS Position Estimation l Propagation Model tuning l Network planning l Benchmarking l RF-Spectrum Scan l O
Unique Features of TSML-x series

l Applicable independent form frequency band (80 MHz to 3 GHz) l CW receiver is applicable to WiMAX measurements up to 6 GHz l Single mode operation units saving costs l Faster and more accurate than competitors l Up to 6 carrier in parallel l Broadcast demodulation
TSMU Features/Benefits
l Proven receiver technology since 2003 l All technologies GSM/WCDMA/CDMA/EVDO and CW in one box l 2500 rake receivers enables the user to analyze fading l First receiver for broadband usage 80 MHz to 3 GHz l High speed CPICH synchronization l Up to 12 carriers simultaneously l Easy mobile backpack integration l Options give maximum degree of freedom
