A Total End-to-End Solution

Motorola’s wireless

broadband portfolio offers an

array of access and backhaul

technologies for complete

end-to-end municipal

wireless initiatives.

Motorola

Point-to-Multipoint and

Point-to-Point solutions can

provide reliable, high-capacity

Internet backhaul links to

Motorola mesh networks.

BroadbandPlanner and

BroadbandScanner enable

detailed network planning

and optimization capabilities.

Automate Your Mesh and PMP Network Measurement Process

Motorola’s BroadbandScanner software enables the validation of mesh and point to

multi-point networks through an intuitive, GPS-driven interface that eliminates the

need for deep RF expertise.

Manual verification of mesh and point-to-multipoint

networks is costly and time-consuming.

Early trial

deployment teams have struggled to compile

information using paper maps, custom spread-

sheets, and manual cut-and-paste between GIS

applications, crude measurement tools, and

ad-hoc logs.

However, today’s large, mature and

complex projects require automated, hardware-

independent validation of Quality of Service (QoS)

and performance.

BroadbandScanner equips network integrators and

post-deployment teams with a money-saving,

hardware-independent solution for measuring and

visualizing network performance.

BroadbandScanner

can also be used in conjunction with Broadband-

Planner, Motorola’s comprehensive software

solution for designing and verifying wireless mesh

and point-to-multipoint networks.

To ensure

accuracy and usability, BroadbandScanner leverages

GIS maps for recording, displaying, and storing vital

network information.

The software’s visualization

capability displays the information integrators need

to pinpoint and validate critical QoS issues such as

wireless coverage and data throughput.

With BroadbandScanner, the measurement process

starts by importing the GIS terrain and map of the

area.

Using “drive test” mode, the user records live

measurements by acquiring GPS located measurement

data from a wireless LAN card or an attached spectrum

analyzer.

As measurement data accumulates,

BroadbandScanner adds this information in real-time

to the site map.

Users then visualize the results as

RSSI (Received Signal Strength Intensity), SIR (Signal

to Interference Ratio), SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio), and

throughput data rate.

Identify Pre-Deployment RF Interference Issues and

Mounting Point Locations

Mesh access points (APs) require a high level of Signal

to Noise Ratio (SNR) to maintain reliable service.

BroadbandScanner contains a RF monitoring feature

that design planners can use to measure wireless

interference.

When configured with an approved

LAN card and spectrum analyzer or a PMP subscriber

module, BroadbandScanner empowers integrators

with time and money-saving capabilities for identifying

noise-floor concerns that could impact the QoS – before

deploying a single piece of hardware.

Identifying AP mounting locations is another crucial

design planning task.

While performing interference

testing or during a separate drive test, the team can

use BroadbandScanner to specify precise mounting

locations.

When a candidate site is identifi

ed, a simple

mouse click adds the GPS-accurate AP mounting

location to the site map.

Measure and Validate Post-Deployment QoS

BroadbandScanner provides a solution to help guarantee

that the deployed network achieves coverage and

capacity requirements detailed within the project

contract – prior to customer hand-off.

This enables

network integrators to differentiate their solution and

deliver a high performance wireless broadband network

that runs the most demanding data, video and voice

applications, in the most challenging environments.
