SPECIFICATION SHEET
BroadbandScanner Software
Motorola Wireless
Broadband
BroadbandScanner is
part of the Motorola's
comprehensive portfolio of
wireless broadband solutions,
applications and services.
Designed to complement and
complete wireless networks,
Motorola Wireless Broadband
solutions address a broad
range of applications across
municipal, enterprise, and
operator segments. The
comprehensive Motorola
Wireless Broadband portfolio
creates a true end-to-end
ecosystem of complementary
products, services and
solutions that provide high
speed connectivity enabling
a broad range of applications
in fi xed, nomadic, portable
or mobile environments.
Working together, Motorola
Mesh Wide Area Network
solutions combined with
other wireless broadband
access technologies deliver
ubiquitous, metro-wide
(community-wide, campus-
wide) wireless broadband
coverage.
WHY MOTOROLA
Motorola is uniquely
positioned to meet
customers' need for great
agility through its wireless
network solutions vision.
Motorola has aligned its
business units and roadmaps
to provide a comprehensive,
end-to-end solution covering
all aspects of the broadband
wireless access deployment.
With our deep and extensive
patent portfolio, over a decade
of R&D investment, and our
experience as a global supplier
of broadband wireless access
solutions, Motorola is primed
to deliver its best in class
wireless networks. Motorola
is committed to leading the
industry with Mesh Wide
Area Networks solutions
addressing the full scope of
the operator's deployment
needs including access,
core, devices, network
management and services.
Measure and record
live network activity
When used with Motorola's SiteSpy software,
BroadbandScanner's AP performance feature provides a
unique capability to generate network traffi c and assess
real application-level throughput without the need for
an active Internet backhaul connection. As a result,
post-deployment teams can verify and troubleshoot AP
link connectivity, packet latency, data throughput, and
connections to the NOC (Network Operations Center)
before connecting live to the outside world.
GPS-Driven Accuracy
Knowing precise locations during measurement is
crucial for accurately validating mesh and point-to-
multipoint network performance. Access to live GPS
coordinates is the best way for a validation team to
determine measurement locations. BroadbandScanner
supports direct connection to industry-standard GPS
receivers. When recording measurements with GPS
enabled, the software updates latitude and longitude
coordinates within the site map in real-time.
BroadbandScanner is a key component in Motorola's
Outdoor Wireless Network Design process, which
details the various stages of the outdoor network
project lifecycle (Fig. 1). BroadbandScanner is used
in Phases two and four, while BroadbandPlanner,
Motorola's comprehensive design and measurement
solution, addresses all four phases.
Outdoor Wireless Network Design Process
PHASE 1
Requirements Gathering
• Define geographic area to
be served
• Determine intended uses
• Select equipment and backhaul
• Acquire maps, terrain and
building/foliage shapefiles

PHASE 2
Field Testing
• Secure/Identify mounting
locations
• Test for interference
• Perform trial area testing
Display the throughput
data rate
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• Directly import AutoCAD, GeoTIFF , DXF and SHP fi les
• GPS support enables accurate measurement and AP
location
• Measure and visualize network RF characteristics to
ensure contract performance goals
• Maintain fl exibility through a hardware independent,
common software platform
• Differentiate by guaranteeing superior network QoS,
which enables bandwidth-intensive applications like
VoWi-Fi and streaming media
• Decrease the total cost of ownership (TCO) of mesh
and point-to-multipoint networks by reducing costly
fi eld work and rework
• Visualize critical QoS information such as RSSI
(Received Signal Strength Intensity), SIR (Signal to
Interference Ratio), SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio), and
throughput data rate
THE MOTOROLA ADVANTAGE
An innovator of indoor and outdoor wireless
communications technology, Motorola provides the
network performance needed to boost productivity and
increase operational effi ciency across your business
enterprise.
PHASE 3

• Deliver deployment plan
information
• Install equipment
• Place wireless hardware
• Adjust design based on
• Evaluate "what if"
• Measure actual coverage
scenarios to determine optimal
coverage, capacity, backhaul
and mesh links
• Verify performance
PHASE 4
