DRIVE TEST AND NETWORK IMPLEMENTATION

We offer drive test and network implementation of LTE, GSM, drive test analysis on a particular site (For example newly installed cell tower) and this is usually performed by drive testing or by walk testing around the site.

In site-level testing, the site is ready for performing SCFT testing after completion of installation and integration, and no active alarms are observed. The main aim of SCFT testing is to validate the functional performance of the site and identify issues, product issues & provisioning issues before turning the site on for commercial users.
Single-cell functionality test or single site verification is a static test that collects each sector information of the cell site in terms of coverage and quality parameters depend upon the technology like 3G, 4G LTE in the cellular mobile network.
Such kind of SCFT testing for the site entails are idle and mobility drive tests conducted using smartphone app-based solution.
An android-based application that can perform SCFT tests for a site and includes CSFB Calls, Volte Calls, Ping Test, FTP file Uploads and Downloads, etc.

Must-have features of RF drive test tool:

  1. Drive test solution must support the capture of GPS information along the drive route.
  2. Data testing such as HTTP, latency, and FTP speed tests.
  3. Voice and SMS testing must be supported.
  4. Enabled with Cell Lock / Band Lock feature.
  5. Video streaming testing support on mobile networks will be an added advantage.
  6. Frequency scanning function for all RAN technology.
  7. Layer 3 and Layer 2 messaging capture capabilities if RF deep diagnosis information is required.
  8. Script-based call and data session manual and automatic should be available.
  9. RF Tool must be portable, measurement software on smartphones will ideal.
  10. Real-time upload of test data to post-processing tool.
  11. Post-processing tools must support the analysis of data on a map-based view.
  12. Post Processing tool should provide graphical and tabular reports for various features of GSM / UMTS/LTE-related performance of the network.
  13. Post-processing software tools must work on a normal Windows-based PC or a web-based interface will be ideal.
