Summitek Instruments has announced a licensing agreement with Willtek Communications, a provider of test and measurement solutions to the wireless industry. Summitek Instruments, a manufacturer of software products designed to automate spectrum management as well as S-parameter measurements, has signed an agreement to license the OASIS Spectrum Monitoring software to Willtek as an option for its line of 9101 or 9102 handheld spectrum analyzers.

OASIS transforms an ordinary spectrum analyzer into a comprehensive spectrum management tool. With optional OASIS components it can be used to perform intermodulation analysis studies, generate channel occupancy statistics, determine emission mask compliance and other complex functions. The end result is improved network performance, increased profitability and stronger customer loyalty. OASIS benefits a wide variety of existing and emerging issues, technologies and applications including broadband over power lines, patient monitoring systems, homeland security, public safety interoperability and efficient spectrum utilization.

"Oasis has always enabled users to save time and money by more efficiently using the capabilities of equipment they already own," said Rick Hartman, president of Summitek Instruments. "Now with the ability to remotely monitor multiple sites through a TCP-IP network, using the Willtek 9101 or 9102 spectrum analyzers, network operators can respond instantly to a problem that may be many miles away, without waiting for an experienced systems analyst to get to the actual location of the occurrence, saving even more down time and maintenance costs."
