ANNOUNCES NEW DWDM
FWM SOFTWARE, F-INTERMODTM
Golden Valley, MN – November 27,
2007 – Telecom Engineering
today announces their new,
industry unique, DWDM Four Wave
Mixing (FWM) software called F-IntermodTM.
F-IntermodTM allows engineers to
easily and quickly determine all
FWM wavelengths that can
interfere with DWDM channels.
Four wave mixing occurs in fiber
links when 2 or more DWDM
wavelengths interact with each
other creating new wavelengths
in the fiber. These new
wavelengths can fall onto
existing DWDM channel
assignments causing interference
in the channels. F-IntermodTM
calculates these new wavelengths
and identifies which DWDM
wavelengths are mixing together
to create them. DWDM channel
assignments can then be better
planned in order to reduce
interference due to FWM. F-IntermodTM
can determine FWM wavelengths
created by up to 1000 DWDM
wavelengths.
F-IntermodTM
is available as a
free 7 day
trial.

DEVELOPS BIT ERROR RATE CALCULATOR SOFTWARE
Telecom Industry Software First
Thunder Bay, Ontario – November
30, 2004 – Telecom Engineering Inc., today announced
their new bit error rate (BER) calculator software
BERCalculator.
BERCalculator is used to
calculate the bit error rate for a transmission
system under test given data rate, test period
and number of received errors. It can also calculate
a required test period for a BER test and the
number of errors received in a period.
True BER is based on an infinite
test time. Since this is impractical, a finite
test period for a desired BER and confidence
level is calculated using the binomial and Poisson
distribution functions. The desired BER is chosen
by the user and will be equal to or better than
the true BER depending on the confidence level.
Three different confidence levels (90%, 95%
and 99%) can be selected for any user defined
data rate. The calculated test period is displayed
in a convenient, easy to read format, and the
result is explained once it is calculated.
The software runs on any type of Windows
operating system.

FREQUENCY INTERMODULATION
SOFTWARE UPGRADE
THUNDER BAY, ONT. – January
3, 2001 – Telecom Engineering, Inc., today announced
the release of the upgrade of their
F-Intermod
software.
The upgraded F-Intermod 2001
provides enhanced features from the previous
version. It is used to calculate intermodulation
products at a radio site. Intermodulation products
are new frequencies that are created when two
or more radio signals mix together. They should
be calculated before installing two or more
radio transmitters at a site in order to determine
what new frequencies may be created by intermodulation.
These new frequencies can cause serious interference
with the site radio receiver and nearby receivers.
Up to 500 transmit and 500
receive frequencies can be entered in a range
from 10 Hz to 900 GHz to obtain a list of intermodulation
frequencies of order 2 and higher. Frequency
bandwidths can range from 0 to 900 GHz.
"This easy to use software
is highly valuable for radio frequency and wireless
companies," said Bob Chomycz, President and
CEO of Telecom Engineering, Inc. "It is also
a requirement by many frequency spectrum-relating
agencies to ensure interference is not created
for other existing radio stations."
