IRVINE, Calif.-Comarco introduced Seven.Five Navigator, a dual calling module test system with built-in inertial navigation for in-building wireless testing.
The company said Seven.Five Navigator is lightweight and battery powered, making it ideally suited for evaluating network performance inside buildings or where pedestrian use is predominant. The product’s calling modules use dedicated single-board computers running Windows XP, along with proprietary voice and video Quality of Service algorithms, to obtain measurements from the perspective of the wireless subscriber.
“We built inertial navigation into the Seven.Five Navigator because the cellular carriers need a simple way of evaluating QoS in areas where GPS signals are not available,” said Greg Maton, senior vice president of Comarco. “This unique system can be used in or between large buildings using inertial navigation, and also in drive-test applications, using its built-in GPS positioning. We now have a system that can work in any environment as well as with any generation of wireless technology.”
