North Carolina-based wireless communication systems provider CommScope’s division Andrew has unveiled Invex.NxG i.Walk, a complete in-building wireless testing solution.

The Invex.NxG i.Walk system includes everything needed for confirming the proper design and placement of in-building antenna or repeater systems prior to final installation, helping ensure optimal indoor wireless coverage.

The i.Walk kit includes: Invex.NxG i.PC testing software with hardware key and supporting manuals on CD; Invex.NxG i.Scan digital scanning receiver; Invex.NxG i.Send, the portable base station emulator that broadcasts RF signals indoors, with carrying case; An optional touch screen palmtop with Invex.NxG i.PC software preloaded.

Network designers can use i.Walk to conduct initial surveys of a building, detecting ambient RF interference and signal weak spots, which can then be accounted for in the system design.

The i.Walk is an extension of Andrew’s Invex.NxG drive-test system, formerly called Invex3G, which enables wireless operators to view their own and their competitors’ wireless voice and data services from the perspective of the subscriber by providing critical quality-of-service (QoS) measurements.
