Overview GMLCLink
is software for MapInfo Professional that lets you visualize and compare the
"predicted vs. actual" locations of wireless devices. The predicted location is
supplied by a GMLC server and the actual location is determined by GPS.
GMLCLink is intended to be used by RF engineers to
evaluate the accuracy of GMLC systems when used with specific mobile handsets.
In a typical configuration, an engineer places mobile
calls from a test site, then use GMLCLink to plot and evaluate the estimated call location
provided by the GMLC. GMLCLink software, with MapInfo Pro, normally is installed on a
laptop configured with a GPS such as the Garmin V (Garmin
International) and wireless network card such as the GPRS AirCard (Sierra Systems).
