WirelessDevNet.com Press Release
Comarco Wireless Test Solutions Launches the Prizm Scanning Receiver System for 2G, 2.5G and 3G
IRVINE, Calif.--Sept. 14, 2004--
A Fast and Accurate Receiver That Concurrently Handles All Major Cellular Technologies
Comarco (NASDAQ:CMRO) Wireless Test Solutions introduces the Seven.Five Prizm Scanning Receiver. With guaranteed accuracy and speeds of four to ten times better than other scanners' published specifications, it is ideal for:
-- RF RSSI mapping, RFI analysis, benchmarking, optimization
-- Prediction model tuning, real-time RF analysis
-- Baseband decoding
-- Harmonics, spurious emissions, antenna siting, coverage
-- CDMA IS-95/1X, GSM/GPRS/EDGE, WCDMA, IS-136/iDEN
There are three plug-in scanner units available for the Prizm chassis that cover the ANSI, ITU and iDEN bands. All are plug-and-play interchangeable with the appropriate software license keys, managed by a single user interface, with dynamic load balancing, when multiple scanners are required. Although one scanner would satisfy the requirements of the typical user, two scanners may be installed in the Prizm chassis. When only one scanner is required, a battery may be added in the available slot making the Prizm a small and lightweight package suitable for portable use.
"Comarco's widely acclaimed Seven.Five System for testing, optimizing and benchmarking cellular infrastructure has received an important upgrade, with the addition of the Prizm Scanning Receiver," notes Greg Maton, senior vice president of Comarco. "Fully software configurable, the Prizm can display several data and technology-specific monitors, along with a summary and a map monitor. All monitors are available and configurable in both real time and replay modes - facilitating analysis both in the field and in the office."
Prizm includes GPS for tracking
Prizm comes complete with GPS and an interface for in-building navigation or dead reckoning, with a 12V-power supply and a single USB cable for communication, control and data logging. A map monitor displays the route taken on MapInfo-format files. Location, time, speed and satellite information are stored with the time and location serving as reference points within the file.
Available for OEM Developers
The scanner module is available as an OEM product with a complete developer's package for ease of integration into a customized product. The developer's kit comes complete with user documentation, cables and a reference board for product development.
Comarco's Prizm Scanning Receiver System is available at prices starting from $13,000(US) and availability is four to six weeks ARO.
