BVS to Demonstrate New WiMAX Test Tools at NATE 2008


METUCHEN, New Jersey. - February 4, 2008 - Berkeley Varitronics Systems, Inc, announced that it will feature new WiMAX product offerings at the 2008 National Association of Tower Erectors exposition running between February 12-13 in Orlando, Florida.

Carmine Caferra (BVS' Northeastern Regional Sales Manager) will be on hand to showcase the latest WiMAX bundle featuring the new transmitter called the Tortoise(TM). Tortoise(TM) transmitters feature Class A amplification with dual, independent transmitter modules supporting a variety of popular bands including 700 MHz, 2.5 GHz, 3.5 GHz as well as traditional cellular and PCS bands.

The WiMAX bundled system offering is comprised of the Tortoise(TM) stimulus test transmitter, Coyote(TM) modular receiver, and the ForeCaster(TM) site survey mapping solution.

"WiMAX service providers need to test a variety of RF bands for coverage without swapping out heavy transmitters and receivers all day. Products like Tortoise(TM) and Coyote(TM) enable 2 different RF bands in one interface for quick indoor and drive-study changeups in the field", says Scott Schober, BVS' President/CEO". The test tools BVS offers are available for WiMAX bands of 700 MHz, 2.5 GHz, and 3.5 GHz being deployed globally.

Just released, Tortoise(TM) Class A dual-band modular transmitters feature lightweight, ease-of-use and powerful RF output in a modular package featuring a variety of popular RF bands.

For over 7 years, Coyote(TM) dual-channel receivers have been used in the field by numerous engineers and installers. All key components of the Coyote(TM) are hot-swappable in the field. Customers recognize this combination of modularity and performance as the greatest benefit to using Coyote(TM). Coyote(TM) receivers are available to match the frequency bands of the Tortoise(TM) transmitter.

Forecaster was introduced back in 2006 and allows Coyote users to plot and view coverage of wireless networks in table or graphical windows with the ability to create HTML reports of base stations/antennae coverage and RF overlap areas. KML overlap reports may also be generated allowing coverage to be viewed using popular programs such as Google Earth(TM). Forecaster combines realtime Coyote measurements, GPS geo-coding accuracy and PC analysis.
