TECH SHowCASE inUAVi's Network Quality Sensor integrates well with the DJI Enterprise Matrice 600 drone. Photo: Gap Wireless inUAVi, an innovator in the drone radio frequency (RF) monitor and sensor mar- ket, has entered into a reseller agreement for distribution of inUAVi solutions in Canada and the U.S. with Gap Wireless, a leading distributor of products and ser- vices for the mobile broadband and wire- less markets. inUAVi was created to address the need for advanced measurements at altitude us- ing drones. Gap Wireless will stock and distribute inUAVi's Network Quality Sen- sor for aerial measurements, a solution that uses sensors integrated with drones to help mobile network operators maintain peak performance for their customers. "Gap Wireless is pleased to be named reseller for inUAVi solutions in North America," said Glenn Poulos, Vice Presi- dent and General Manager at Gap Wire- less. "inUAVi's unique solution is an as- set to service providers striving to deliver highest quality mobile service to their customers." inUAVi's Network Quality Sensor uses proprietary technology to replicate what customers are experiencing, identify trans- mission gaps and signal issues, and de- termine the cause so problems can be ad- dressed. Data is collected and relayed in real time to the drone operator from an appli- cation integrated with the drone's operat- ing system, a vast improvement on previous solutions that relied on heavy ground-based instrumentation strapped onto a drone with no real-time data delivery. "inUAVi continues to transform the way data is collected by drones, making it possible for real time adjustments to wireless networks based on more accurate measurements," said Marc Bouvrette, President of inUAVi. inUAVi's autonomous system creates a visual representation of network per- formance in real-time, identifying dead spots, overlapping beams and competing physical channels to determine the root cause and source of signal issues. The system can also characterize antennas for proper alignment, often eliminating the need for inspection teams to climb towers. The lightweight, highly-integrated and portable applications run on common iOS platforms, automating previously com- plex measurements. The proprietary radio modules process signals in commonly used WCDMA and LTE bands, providing spec- trum data, channel power, and other key measurements that can be collected and relayed to ground stations in real time. inUAVi's innovative solutions are just part of the Gap Wireless portfolio of products from industry-leading vendors that spans a suite of hardware and value-added services for the UAV market, plus wireless infrastruc- ture and Test & Measurement solutions.
