With high-speed wireless communications demanding more and more bandwidth, net work per formance has become essential for ser vice qualit y. As todays leading wireless operators overlay nex t generation technologies such as LTE on legacy 2G and 3G networks, deploying, maintaining, and optimizing networks becomes more complex. The challenges facing network performance and optimization engineers in a world of constantly evolving networks, new technologies, and spectrum reallocations include:
Deployment of New Operating Bands New spectrum
made available through the reallocation of traditional analog services means that operators must deploy and maintain more operating bands than ever before.
Service Quality Broadband services need highly optimized Radio Access Networks to leverage their data throughput advantages. Higher network performance equates to higher data rates and bet ter ser vice qualit y that drive greater subscriber satisfaction and retention. Legacy Networks Operators deploying new broadband
technologies such as LTE must also maintain their existing 2G and 3G network by adding new capacity and services.
Managing Technology Migrations As operators re-farm
existing operating spectrum to new technologies and services, RF engineering teams must have flexible tools that can adapt to evolving network requirements.

RF network and performance engineers need reliable data to deploy, troubleshoot and tune their networks. High density drive test data assures that statistically significant data is being used by tuning models and optimization software. SeeGull MX provides industry-leading scanning rates powered by its multiple Signal Processing Engines, which work in conjunction with multi-band RF paths. These processing paths allow the SeeGull MX to perform concurrent measurements without processor resource sharing and the performance degradation typically associated with it when drive testing multi -technology networks.

Scanner A exhibits systematic gaps due to low scan rate and dynamic range
Scanning receivers used for optimizing LTE broadband networks must exhibit high dynamic range to detect low signal levels created by interference caused by network configuration or terrain. Dynamic range is essential for quality measurements, such as Carrier to Interference and Noise Ratio (C I N R ), which can be used to baseline expected LTE broadband data throughput. Thus, scanning receiver dynamic range is critically important for network optimization measurements needed to achieve higher quality of service.
