The TTS-2000 is a complete TETRA site survey test device for measuring the RSSI field strength of the TETRA carrier as well as all reported neighbor cells. The data is stored as a -dBm value along with location coordinates, bit error rate, antenna gain or attenuation value, and the RSSI values of all reported neighbor cells.

An Apple Mini iPad, which can be easily mounted on the car windshield, is used as the graphical user interface for measurements, configuration, parameter settings, and device calibration.

During the measurement process, which occurs once per second (or depending on distance), all relevant TETRA parameters such as RSSI, LAC, channel number, and coordinates are displayed on the iPad in large, easily readable numbers.

In addition to the car power connector, the device can operate for several hours (approximately 4 hours with a fully charged, new battery) using its internal rechargeable battery. Once the measurement process is complete, the CSV-based data can be sent via Wi-Fi or GSM network to any email address with just a fingertip.

With the powerful Google Maps-based application viewer “CoverMap,” users can view the data as a graphical coverage overview on a PC or process it with their own Excel application. They can also simulate specific conditions, such as switching off base stations or adjusting -dBm levels, to test the network under extreme conditions.

The TTS-2000 is housed in a small Pelicase box measuring approximately 24 x 11 x 19 cm and can be used in a car or, due to its lightweight design, is also ideal for handheld measurements.

The test set is delivered with an iPad Mini with installed software, the PC-based application viewer CoverMap, a magnetic antenna, and a car charger cable.

Furthermore, the TTS-2000A package includes a TETRA spectrum scanner and a TETRA base station monitor.
