New Platform Enables Global Interoperability
for Next Generation of Public Safety Fleets
PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCTI), a leader in Performance Critical
Telecom solutions, announced the launch of its SkyCompass™ Trooper
multiband antennas today at the International Wireless
Communications Expo (IWCE). The new platform delivers exceptional
RF performance for voice, data, and asset tracking applications in
an ultra-compact footprint. The SkyCompass Trooper will equip the
next generation of public safety fleets with high-speed,
interoperable wireless communications.
The SkyCompass Trooper’s small footprint enables installation on
the ridged rooftops of the newest public safety sports utility
vehicles, such as the Ford Police Interceptor. This feature, along
with the antenna’s superior design and construction, has made the
Trooper the fleet management antenna of choice for many of the
leading public safety agencies. The platform is also ideal for
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) installations with limited surface
space.
“A major U.S. public safety agency recently selected PCTEL’s
SkyCompass Trooper for its entire fleet of public safety vehicles
and fire trucks. Our product was selected based on its superior
performance and reliability in a smaller footprint,” said Rishi
Bharadwaj, Vice President and General Manager of PCTEL's Connected
Solutions. “We will continue to leverage our innovative design
capabilities and performance excellence to meet our customers’
unique challenges,” added Bharadwaj.
SkyCompass Trooper antennas combine multiband LTE MIMO and
802.11ac Wi-Fi MIMO connectivity for high-speed voice and data
communications. The platform also incorporates PCTEL’s proprietary
SkyLink™ GNSS high rejection technology that enables reliable GPS
and GLONASS location and timing information, despite the presence
of strong signals from nearby cellular network towers.
PCTEL will demonstrate the SkyCompass Trooper platform at IWCE,
booth #2156, March 23-24 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The first SkyCompass
Trooper models will be available for general sales in late April
2016. The antennas are fully configurable, with multiple connector
options. The platform will offer models with up to six (6) antenna
ports for compatibility with the newest OEM routers on the
market.
