ISCO INTL TAKES SPECTRUM MONITORING AND RF ANALYSIS ONE STEP FURTHER WITH NEW PROVIEW SYSTEM
FOR 3G / 4G NETWORK OPERATORS

Proview Simplifies the Spectrum Conditioning Process Critical to Network Optimization,
Performance and Maximum Traffic Carrying Capacity

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL – September 27, 2011 – ISCO International has introduced ProView™, a new spectrum monitoring and analysis tool that goes well beyond providing “mere data” to give 3G or 4G network operators truly actionable information regarding the condition of their wireless spectrum.

Conditioning the RF physical layer lies at the heart of network optimization, which enables maximum utilization of an operator’s available spectrum. Maximizing spectrum in turn effectively recovers or preserves capacity otherwise lost to many types of interference. Spectrum conditioning therefore represents an increasingly viable option to enable more wireless traffic and important more
