Private Mobile Radio Testing

Knowledge Hub

Need to install a Private Mobile Radio network such as TETRA or DMR? Coverage mapping and interference hunting are necessary to guarantee the coverage required by regulators. Do any of the following sound familiar? Testing a base station's BER performance. Indoor coverage mapping of a PMR network. Knowing what instruments you need for PMR. Here's our top content to help you accomplish these challenges.

Unique 3D In-Building Coverage Mapping Solution

The role of enforcing in-building public safety needs (e.g., # occupants in a room) typically falls to the local fire marshal’s staff. They rely on building codes and standards from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Wireless communications standards are covered under NFPA 72 and NFPA 1221. Both standards prescribe periodic measurements to assure communications.

NEON Indoor Mapping

The NEON Tracking Unit supports collection and processing of sensor data that delivers 3D location information. The NEON Signal Mapper Application provides an intuitive Android user interface enabling lightly trained users to map signal and sensor information within buildings; users can initialize their location, start/stop mapping and upload/download mapping data to/from the cloud.

Introducing P25 Test Capabilities

Mandates from the FCC to implement narrowband interoperable voice and data communications seek to help address this need. However, budget constraints make meeting these requirements a challenge. So how will you comply?

Protecting Critical Communications Systems from Interference

With increased traffic over the air comes increased complications in managing the traffic to avoid interference, especially in communications systems critical for safety and defense. This webinar will discuss various methods and tools needed to quickly and easily hunt, track, identify, and remove interference utilizing Anritsu’s Field Master Pro MS2090A high-performance spectrum analyzer.

TRX NEON Signal Mapper

Where GPS is unavailable, the Anritsu MA8100A Series solution delivers real-time 3D location information for indoor test and measurement applications. The Series consists of a TRX Systems NEON® Tracking Unit, NEON Signal Mapper Software for Android devices, NEON Command Software, and TRX Cloud Service

Multi-Channel In-Building Coverage Mapping

This video covers in-building RF coverage verification of public safety networks. Using the Remote Spectrum Monitor MS27101A combined with the NEON signal mapper, provides a highly efficient solution. All components needed for coverage mapping multiple channels in a single walk through are addressed.

Validating In-Building Wireless Coverage of Public Safety, LTE, and WiFi® Networks

This application brief will explain how to conduct radio frequency coverage mapping testing utilizing an Anritsu MS27101A-IBCM In-Building Coverage Mapping bundle made up of a Remote Spectrum Monitor MS27101A and NEON® Signal Mapper MA8100A solutions.

Identifying and Locating Cable TV Interference

A Primer for Public Safety Engineers and Cellular Operators. This application note outlines how to spot and fix interference that radiates from Cable TV systems.

The Impact of LTE on the LMR Industry

The Anritsu S412E LMR Master is the only solution on the market today that provides a quick, easy, and cost-effective means of verifying the operation of both narrowband LMR and broadband LTE networks, and when necessary, diagnosing problems.

LTE Updates Geared Towards Meeting Broadband Needs of Public Safety

Over the past few years, the calls to utilize LTE technology in public safety networks have become stronger, mostly to address the need for broadband and other data-intensive services. The implementation of LTE offers distinct advantages in protecting first responders, as well as citizens, especially given the recent updates that have made the technology better suited for mission critical applications. While it offers much promise, the integration of LTE certainly does not signal the end of LMR networks.
