The WCT enables wireless service providers to easily test the coverage of Wavion’s WBS-2400 base stations in their actual locations. This takes the guessing game out of the installation process and enables the service providers to measure the actual throughput at every point in the targeted area.

The WiFi Booster enables simulating outdoor CPEs. The WCT easy to use software provides coverage and capacity results per location and enables to display them over a Google earth map while driving or walking in the targeted area.
“We are proud to release this new tool for coverage optimization,” said Dr. Mati Wax, Wavion’s founder and CTO. “We have spent a lot of time and effort in developing this tool and making sure that it provides the most reliable and easy to use information.
