PCTEL, Inc. announced its new TX2440 mmWave Transmitter, a portable Continuous Wave (CW) transmitter for in-building and outdoor 5G network design. 5G mmWave networks have unique propagation and reflection characteristics, making coverage difficult to predict. The PCTEL® TX2440 transmitter mimics the propagation profiles of 5G mmWave signals, enabling real-world coverage testing prior to deployment. With data from CW testing, engineers can efficiently plan and design in-building and outdoor networks, reducing the cost of delivering effective 5G coverage. Key features include: User-selectable 24-40 GHz transmission. Small, lightweight form factor. High performance mmWave antennas. Up to 5 hours continuous transmission with optional hot swappable battery pack system. During CW testing, signals from the TX2440 transmitter can be accurately measured using a portable PCTELHBflex™ scanning receiver. PCTEL’s SeeHawk® data collection and reporting software enables users to view coverage data immediately or easily export it to leading network design and post processing tools. HBflex scanning receivers and SeeHawk software can also be used to test 5G mmWave and sub-6 GHz coverage and signal quality throughout the network lifecycle.
