Public Safety Network
Testing Solution

Test, verify, and document critical communications coverage

With PCTEL’s automated network testing solution, you can ensure in-building communications coverage while saving time and money. Test multiple public safety, cellular, and private networks simultaneously using grid or path-based methods. Automate key BDA commissioning tests for Business Critical and Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement Systems (ERCES). And auto-generate submittable reports for compliance with FCC and local code requirements.

Kits include our tablet-based SeeHawk® Touch software, lightweight IBflex® scanning receiver, a one-year subscription to the SeeHawk® Central automated workflow management platform, and accessories for in-building, outdoor, or uplink testing. Additional features such as the BDA Commissioning Test Suite are available as options for new and existing kits.
