PRESS RELEASE:Comarco Releases CDMA Optimization System ( BW)(CA-COMARCO-WIRELESS-2)(CMRO) Comarco Wireless Technologies Ships Advanced IS95 CDMA Optimization System Business Editors and High-Tech Writers NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 28, 2000--Comarco Wireless Technologies, a subsidiary of Comarco Inc. (Nasdaq:CMRO), Monday announced the availability of its X 50 advanced Optimization platform for IS95 CDMA cellular and PCS networks. Targeting the CDMA carrier marketplace, the X 50 is the latest in Comarco's "X series" of network analysis instruments. The X 50 combines the benefits of comprehensive CDMA phone data collection with the power of independent PN scanning. Supporting twin EVRC (enhanced variable rate codec) capable CDMA phones couple with a powerful integrated PN scanner, the X 50 quickly identifies problem areas permitting rapid and detailed analysis of both 800 MHz and 1900 MHz wireless networks. Applications include coverage analysis, performance optimization, best-serving pilot detection, neighborhood list validation, pilot pollution, island cell detection and the fault diagnosis maintenance of dual-band, dual-mode CDMA/AMPS networks. "The X 50 is a response to the increasing needs of the wireless network carriers," said Mark Chapman, vice president of Comarco Wireless Technologies. "The wireless environment is constantly under pressure by the growing demands to its capacity, and the carriers are looking for tools that maximize their investment in the existing infrastructure. The X 50 empowers the CDMA carriers to build and optimize the best performing wireless services available in a highly efficient manner." Delivering advanced performance analysis, the X 50 is built around a powerful real time mapping environment designed to pinpoint network problems at a glance. Used during drive tests, the X 50 generates detailed performance maps, allowing carriers to track network quality in real-time, visualize trends and quickly identify problem areas. Its advanced features include support for twin, dual-band CDMA phones permitting full data collection and analysis of online call performance and idle handoff performance. Simultaneous RF analysis from high precision dual-band reference scanners extends the X 50's performance, delivering accurate signal measurements with powerful wide-band and narrow-band interference detection capabilities. An integrated, high performance, dual-channel PN scanner provides automated, independent PN scanning of all 512 PNs, enabling accurate pilot measurement, interference detection and simplifying hard hand-off analysis. The X 50 also incorporates Comarco's Q-MOS audio measurement technology permitting carriers to assess and quantify network performance and audio/voice quality simultaneously. A graphically oriented replay program permits the immediate review of data collected in the exact format as that captured in real-time, allowing engineers to diagnose problems on site without the need to export data to external post processing applications. A full range of customizable IS95 specific engineering displays offer direct access to virtually all available CDMA performance parameters, including detailed Layer 3 logging, decode and display. Plus the X 50 supports customizable automatic market insertions and programmable audio alarms. Designed for harsh field environments, the X 50 is rugged, compact and modular. It also is built on a highly upgradeable platform, allowing carriers to expand the X 50's functionality and compatibility as their networks evolve. The X 50 also ships with Comarco's powerful "Workbench" MapInfo compatible mapping and post processing tools, completing the suite and providing rapid creation of maps, plots and statistical test data. Comarco also Monday announced the availability of the X 25, an advanced optimization system platform for iDEN wireless networks.
