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 AWS systems and incumbents. 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 existing spectrum incumbents." Radio Dynamics' POSEIDON™ uses
a web browser user interface to visually display blockage and relocation
schemes for each AWS 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
AWS technologies AWS equipment manufacturers).
The POSEIDON™ package, a predecessor of POSEIDON was used
by BellSouth Mobility DCS, Western PCS, GTE Mobilnet, Southwestern
Bell Mobile Systems, Omnipoint, Ameritech, NextWave, T-Mobile, Cingular
Wireless 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™ was 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 were: T-Mobile in Hawaii, T-Mobile in
Salt Lake City, T-Mobile in Albuquerque, Cingular Wireless
in the Carolinas and Cingular Wireless in Eastern Tennessee.
When combined with a short training course provided
by Radio Dynamics, the staff of AWS providers
become their own frequency coordinator. POSEIDON™is
available through a variety of service plans, ranging from Internet access
for
"smaller" AWS companies to a complete turnkey system (computer,
software, and nationwide data) approach that includes maintenance and
a 72 hour hardware replacement warranty to minimize downtime. For those
currently interested in the automatic drive test frequency locator function
alone, Radio Dynamics offers an on-line account at an affordable rate.
