November 2013: X-TEL is pleased to announce that its new wireless field measurement hand held tester "Xpedite" has been successfully verified in the popular post-processing tool WindCatcher. WindCatcher is an RF planning and post-processing tool for a wide variety of wireless network environments. Support most standard technologies including GSM, UMTS, HSDPA, WiMAX, LTE and others, WindCatcher is a power tool for network engineers designing indoor HetNet Small Cell networks, the final frontier of wireless communications.
Indoor walk testing has never been simpler with Xpedite. Xpedite is a new generation of hand-held tester designed by X-TEL. X-TEL designed it first hand-held tester on a Nokia platform, when Nokia was the leader in smartphone technology, almost 10 years ago. The new Xpedite runs within the powerful new Android operating system. It collects and stores indoor wireless cellular walk-test measurements and the measurements are easily uploaded into the WindCatcher post-processing took by XCEED.
Xpedite is a power addition to users of the WindCatcher RF planning and post-processing tool because of how easily Xpedite can be installed and deployed. Xpedite is available on Google Play, which means anyone can have access to the technology. The pricing model is revolutionary. That is, it can be purchased based on usage time. If a project only requires use of the tool for one month, a wireless engineer working on an indoor system can download it and pay for only the time necessary to complete the project. Never before have field measurement tools been so easily acquired and disposed of when no longer necessary. You only pay for what you use.
For example, let's say you just found out you need to deploy a major wireless indoor system in a new office building unexpectedly, but there is no capital budget allocated for a Android based hand held indoor walk tester. That's not an issue with Xpedite. Simply place it in your operational budget since it may be purchased just for the amount of time (monthly minimum) you require for the build-out of your indoor wireless network. It is a simple as that.
Couple that with your existing WindCatcher Design and Analysis Software, and your are good to go when you need to get the job done right and on time.
Xpedite is the last drive-test, hand held tester, autonomous measurement device, you will ever need. Upgrades always are included - so never worry about product obsolescence.
