SeeHawk™ Monitor

Automated spectrum monitoring and uplink testing for critical communications

With SeeHawk Monitor, one system provides multiple automated applications that make it easier to ensure reliable critical communications on public safety, private, and commercial wireless networks. It continuously monitors spectrum for noise and interference, automates testing of uplink radio coverage, and simplifies commissioning of code-compliant in-building radio systems. SeeHawk Monitor can also be used to monitor 4G/5G network performance and even detect the presence of rogue cellular base stations.

The SeeHawk Monitor System

The SeeHawk™ Monitor system is easy to install and is scalable to the needs of any network. Remote Test Units (RTUs) monitor spectrum and measure radio signals at each radio site. RTUs can also be placed at critical coverage areas to monitor 4G/5G network performance and detect base stations. The SeeHawk Monitor Platform Manager remotely monitors and configures all RTUs in the system, and provides powerful tools for investigating issues.

The PCTEL SeeHawk® Monitor system is very useful for monitoring interference and for BDA system testing. It has already proven itself by assisting us in locating a bad BDA that was causing major interference to our radio system.
