BLOOMINGDALE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCTI), a leader in antenna and scanning receiver solutions, announced today the expansion of the SeeGull® MX scanning receiver technology coverage. The new MX release incorporates measurements of CDMA and EV-DO technologies along with its well-established support for LTE, GSM and WCDMA. The SeeGull MX can now support multi-technology network testing and benchmarking applications with simultaneous measurements of five protocols across as many as eight (8) operating bands. It features leading-edge, concurrent measurement technology that advances the MX performance advantages in measurement speed, high dynamic range and accuracy.

As wireless carriers add 4G LTE technology to meet exploding user demand for both fixed and mobile broadband data access, they need to maintain and even expand legacy 2G and 3G networks. The SeeGull MX is a single solution that allows operators to meet the challenges of deploying, managing and optimizing multiple networks without repeated and expensive drive-testing. Its advanced LTE capabilities include measurements at the actual bandwidths of all 3GPP frequency bands up to 20 MHz, not just at the center of the defined band.

"The SeeGull MX has quickly gained acceptance with LTE, WCDMA and GSM operators because of its high performance and flexibility," said Jeff Miller, PCTEL's Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "This latest release brings state-of-the-art radio access network testing to over 40 countries that use CDMA technology. With an architecture that is designed to support LTE MIMO and LTE-Advanced, the SeeGull MX will continue to help operators evolve their networks far into the future."

The SeeGull MX is fully compliant with 3GPP and 3GPP2 specifications and is currently available directly from PCTEL or through its indirect channels.
