Fluke AirMagnet Spectrum ES

Fluke Networks has announced AirMagnet Spectrum ES, a spectrum analysis tool specifically designed to streamline in-field testing and troubleshooting of cellular off-load deployments, including distributed antenna systems (DAS) and small cells.

The tool offers portability, affordability and enhanced in-field productivity features. This includes what the company says is the industry’s first automated new signature detection and location of RF interference sources, automated location-specific carrier and technology spectrum scan set-up and intuitive network visibility, which is needed to verify and troubleshoot at every stage of the project life cycle.

The tool is agile and portable, designed for use with any Windows 7 or Windows 8 based laptop or tablet PC for easy testing in the field. It is also significantly less expensive than any similar tool, ensuring that each team can speed deployment by having the tool they need readily at hand.

The device offers enhanced productivity features required for efficient testing of DAS and small cell deployments. This includes determining the root cause of performance problems due to interference with its built-in automated signature detection and location capability of detecting RF interference sources in the licensed bands. It also delivers automated location-specific technology or carrier-based frequency scans to reduce manual and error-prone frequency configurations and provides innovative visualisations of core spectrum data with the detection of LTE, UMTS, CDMA and GSM data/voice events and carrier/technology overlays.
