LOWELL, MATyco Electronics Wireless Systems has been awarded a contract by the Salt River Project (SRP), located in Phoenix, AZ, to upgrade the utility's existing 900-MHz EDACS communication system. That system will be upgraded to an Internet-Protocol-based (IP), 900-MHz OpenSky communication system that will expand the coverage area for the day-today voice communications needs of water, electrical, service, and emergency personnel. SRP's radio system will also allow for future expansion to accommodate data communications for the more than 1400 radio users on the network.
SRP's 900-MHz OpenSky system will be a seven-site, private, digital radio communications network. Using Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) technology, the OpenSky system will utilize two voice signals on each of the company's narrowband (12.5-kHz), 900-MHz channels to maximize the system's capacity. The system will also feature over-the-air programming (OTAP) to enable remote reconfiguration of radio personalities and software updates. SRP's OpenSky system will also be capable of interoperating with Project 25 (P25) radio networks in the area in the event of an emergency.
CHICAGO, ILWavesat Inc. and WirelessLogix have successfully completed interoperability testing between Wavesat's Odyssey 8500 chipset and WirelessLogix' WiMAX data collection solutions. This new diagnostic support for Wavesat's Odyssey chipset will provide WiMAX engineers with the ability to perform testing using Wavesat-based devices and the WirelessLogix' XCAL-X real-time data collection tool and XCAP-X analysis tool. XCAL-X will enable technicians and network engineers to collect performance metrics from Wavesat's Odyssey WiMAX devices in order to optimize network deployment and system performance. Troubleshooting and detailed analysis can then be performed using WirelessLogix' XCAP-X software platform.
