In-Building Mapping Without GPS

Reliable signal coverage for first responders is a matter of life and death. First responders heading anywhere in a building will have the confidence of not losing communications during an emergency response in radio signal verified buildings.

A new integrated technology delivers real-time geo-referenced signal data that can be visualized both locally by the user and remotely on a 3D display. It is designed for in-building signal testing and leverages the Spectrum Compact’s exceptional measurement accuracy and industry-leading noise floor (-128dB) to provide a complete picture of the RF environment. 

The SAF-TRX solution is an integration of TRX’s NEON Signal Mapper application with SAF Tehnika’s hand-held spectrum analyzer series. SAF’s smartphone-sized Spectrum Compact is now integrated with the TRX’s body-worn NEON Tracking Unit to provide an economical, simple, and accurate signal mapping and verification SAF signal mapper. 

RF engineers and technicians can comfortably and discreetly map the signal coverage throughout an entire building including stairwells, elevators, and difficult to access areas. With NEON Command software, users can create the coverage map for buildings even when no drawings or cad files exist, according to prweb.com.

Public Safety agencies or certification service companies new to real-world RF testing now have the tools to quickly get up to speed verifying in-building signal coverage.

NEON Signal Mapper is a 3D in-building coverage mapping solution that delivers 3D mapping, tracking, and visualization where GPS is unreliable. It leverages TRX’s patented NEON Location Service which uses inertial sensor fusion, user corrections, and map constraints to enable real-time 3D location and tracking within buildings, stadiums, subways, dense urban areas, and any region where GPS is unavailable.
