Berkeley Varitronics Systems Awarded Additional Contract From NextG Networks
METUCHEN, New Jersey. -/Wi-Fi Technology News/- Berkeley Varitronics Systems, Inc, a global leader in wireless propagation test equipment, has been awarded an additional contract from NextG Networks for (30) drive-study systems comprised of Coyote™ modular receivers and Dragon™ 5 watt transmitters for the AWS 2.1 GHz band.
“We have recently had to increase our production capability to meet the volume of orders we have received for both 2.1 GHz AWS bands and 2.5 & 3.5 GHz WiMAX drive-study equipment.” said Scott Schober, President & CEO of BVS.
The top AWS license holders are racing to upgrade their networks with advanced technologies allowing them to deploy higher quality voice services as well as data services. The FCC auctioned off the Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) spectrum raising nearly $14 Billion at the end of 2006. Now the licensees are procuring advanced BVS test equipment to effectively measure how well the signals will propagate within the AWS bands.
Over the past 10 years, BVS has shipped hundreds of Dragon™ 5 Watt dual band transmitters around the world making it one of the most recognizable stimulus transmitters available. Dragon customers appreciate the modularity (2 transmitters in one unit), light weight, ruggedness and overall reliability as selling points which continual puts it ahead of the competitors.
For over 7 years, Coyote™ dual-channel receivers have been used in the field by numerous engineers and installers. All key components of the Coyote™ are hot-swappable in the field. Customers recognize this combination of modularity and performance as the greatest benefit to using Coyote™.
