ZK Celltest Adds iIDEN Capabilities to Popular ZK-SAM Optimization Drive Test Tool Product Line


SUNNYVALE, Calif. - May 15, 2007 - ZK Celltest announces that it has added iDEN capability to the full range of ZK-SAM cellular field measurement and network optimization products.

The integrated Digital Enhanced Network (iDEN) is a mature technology, however few drive test companies offer a solution that is incorporated into their main tools and would allow operators to make side-by-side network coverage comparisons. Now, with the addition of iDEN capability to ZK's products, iDEN and CDMA networks can be analyzed and compared using the same drive test tool. ZK users can now perform benchmark testing of operators and technologies in a single drive on as many as five networks simultaneously.

The ZK Celltest family of products utilizes unique technology that does not require a laptop to log the captured drive test data. Eliminating the need for a laptop makes ZK's solutions ideal for testing in vehicles, where drivers must keep their attention on the road rather than on a laptop screen, and for in building use where a laptop is too bulky to carry during walking tests.

The iDEN solution is also available on the ZK RMS (Real-time Monitoring System), making it the only autonomous solution that now has iDEN capability. The ZK RMS system consists of mobile units installed in taxis, buses or delivery vehicles that collect data while the vehicles make their rounds. Data is logged and transmitted real time to a central server where it is collated, formatted and presented for use by the operator via secure internet portals.

"The iDEN systems in use world wide are very popular due to the push to talk (PTT) capability. Giving operators the ability to compare these networks with others provides an invaluable service to ZK customers," states Rich Miletic, CEO of ZK Celltest. "We often receive comments stating how much easier our drive test unit is to use than those that utilize a laptop as well as requests to cover additional technologies. The addition of iDEN capability to the ZK family of test tools rounds out our technology road map and allows our users to capture more data in a single system."

Pricing for a single phone, single technology solution starts at under $8000 (not including phones/handsets).
