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.

  • Grid-based coverage testing for local code compliance
  • Indoor/outdoor walk testing and drive testing

Uplink Commissioning Testing

  • Commission FCC-compliant Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement Systems (ERCES)
  • Prevent or mitigate interference between in-building systems and the outdoor network
  • Measure P25 uplink signal strength and quality
  • Monitor the noise floor in real time

4G/5G Network Monitoring

  • Monitor spectrum for 4G/5G coverage and service quality
  • Rapidly identify service-impacting issues
  • Detect rogue base stations
  • Manage multi-tenant or cross-border spectrum

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.
