Telewave has launched its latest innovation, the PRM Series of Portable RF Monitoring (PRM) systems, designed to revolutionize the way Emergency Responder Radio Coverage Systems (ERRCS) and Land Mobile Radio (LMR) installations are evaluated and certified. These cutting-edge systems set a new benchmark for validating signal integrity, providing reliable, accurate testing to ensure that critical communication networks remain operational in even the most challenging environments.
The PRM Series is engineered to address key challenges associated with measuring both uplink and downlink signal paths while simultaneously validating audio quality from handheld devices within buildings. These systems ensure that signal analyzers are not desensitized by local test radios, guaranteeing the accuracy of test data at every stage. With advanced integrated filter subsystems, the PRM Series provides essential support for maintaining robust ERRCS and LMR installations, crucial for emergency responders and public safety.
Key Features and Options
Telewave.io offers two models in the PRM Series: the PRM-7080 for the 700/800 MHz public safety band, and the PRM-9000 for the 900 MHz business band. Both models feature an uplink/downlink isolation of over 80 dB, ensuring precise measurements. The integrated filtering system prevents transmitter desensitization, safeguarding the accuracy of data collected during tests.
In addition, the PRM Series boasts a highly portable design, featuring a backpack-style configuration with an integrated Down Link (DL) antenna and robust connectors. Bluetooth and WLAN connectivity, along with GPS antenna input, ensure seamless data transmission and location tracking during testing. Encased in a rugged, splash-proof housing, the PRM Series is built to withstand harsh conditions, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.
Applications Across Diverse Environments
The PRM Series is versatile, designed for a wide range of challenging environments. From commissioning ERRCS and LMR systems in multi-story buildings to testing signal integrity in underground structures like parking garages, tunnels, and mines, these systems are equipped to handle it all. They are particularly effective in industrial facilities such as power plants, chemical processing facilities, and food production buildings, where complex materials like steel and concrete can interfere with signal strength.
Additionally, the PRM systems can be used for drive testing in urban areas, ensuring reliable communication in densely populated environments. They are also suitable for remote locations, including open-pit mines and hard-to-reach areas, where maintaining communication is critical.
Unmatched Portability and Flexibility
Designed with the needs of field technicians in mind, the PRM Series offers unmatched portability. The backpack design allows users to easily carry the system to various locations, while its durable build ensures it can handle the rigors of fieldwork. This mobility, combined with the system’s ability to integrate additional support electronics, makes it an indispensable tool for troubleshooting and verifying emergency communication systems quickly and efficiently.
