POSEIDON™ uses interference
criteria adopted by the Telecommunications Industry Association (under Telecommunications
Systems Bulletin 10-F) and techniques endorsed by the Federal Communications Commission to
accurately compute interference between PCS systems and incumbent microwaves. It also
conforms to the standard for electronic prior coordination notices (EPCNs) developed by
the National Spectrum Managers Association (under Working Group 20 requirements). Radio
Dynamics' leadership and commitment to standards compliancy is resonated by its president
Thu Nguyen: "POSEIDON's full compliance with industry standards and detailed
technical reports remove any uncertainty from negotiations and technical discussions with
microwave incumbents." Radio Dynamics' POSEIDON™ uses a web browser user
interface to visually display blockage and relocation schemes for each personal
communications system frequency, relative position and terrain cross sections, and color
maps of system data while making the data available in complete ASCII export files that
interface with common database applications. It also supports multiple personal
communications systems technologies (e.g., CDMA, GSM, IS-136, and other technologies of
unlicensed PCS equipment manufacturers).
The POSEIDON™ package is used by BellSouth Mobility DCS, Western PCS, GTE
Mobilnet, Southwestern Bell Mobile Systems, Omnipoint, Ameritech, NextWave and other
telecommunications consulting companies all of which realize POSEIDON™ expedites
operations through its EPCN Generator and automatic drive test frequency locator, features
that save time and money.
Radio Dynamics' customer base is varied, yet consistent in their expectations of a
quality product that will bring them to market fast. POSEIDON™ is used by PCS
companies, most notably the majority of those whom were first to market; by UTAM members
for unlicensed operations; and by several consulting companies. Five out of the first six
PCS systems to deploy used POSEIDON™. These five
systems are: Western PCS in Hawaii, Western PCS in Salt Lake City, Western PCS in
Albuquerque, BellSouth Mobility DCS in the Carolinas and BellSouth Mobility DCS in Eastern
Tennessee.
When combined with a short training course provided
by Radio Dynamics, the staff of personal communications service providers become their own
frequency coordinator. POSEIDON
is a service mark of Radio
Dynamics Corporation.
