Seven.Five System Selected by GWS for Nationwide Benchmarking Program;
Global Wireless Solutions, Inc. Chooses Seven.Five for Collection
of Benchmarking Data across Major US Markets for Wireless Voice
and Wireless Packet Data Networks
IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 10, 2006--Comarco (NASDAQ:CMRO)
Wireless Test Solutions today announces that Global Wireless Solutions,
Inc. ("GWS"), has selected the Seven.Five Multi Test System
for its nationwide wireless networks benchmarking test program.
Seven.Five is used worldwide to assess the quality of service for
cellular carriers and other wireless networks.
"The Seven.Five platform allows GWS a best-in-class solution
for testing wireless voice and packet data networks. Seven.Five,
which includes an integrated multi-technology, multi-band baseband
scanner, excels in its ability to accurately define causes for negative
call events (such as calls blocked or dropped) as well as providing
us with an extremely versatile and reliable tool for full network
engineering analysis," says Dr. Paul Carter, president of GWS.
"We are pleased to partner with GWS, an independent industry
force in wireless network benchmarking," notes Greg Maton,
senior vice president and GM for Comarco Wireless Test Solutions.
"Comarco's Seven.Five is fast becoming the dominant platform
for multi-technology network testing."
GWS' fleet of vehicles drive throughout the United States to measure
the network quality of the wireless operators on a market-by-market
basis. GWS will install the Seven.Five equipment in its test vehicles
and drive a comprehensive route throughout the market's typical
wireless footprint. Each vehicle then initiates a series of wireless
voice and packet-data calls on each operator's network. The ranking
for each operator is based on the amount of call setup failures,
dropped calls and call voice quality or throughput rates.
