SwissQual, the Swiss network quality measurement company says that it is now offering a drive test solution for LTE network testing. This new solution offers a Diversity probe providing RF scanning together with application layer testing including FTP, HTTP and video streaming.
Using a scanner component from PCTel, the Diversity probe generates RF measurements for the LTE FDD standard, while application layer testing is provided by an attached LTE device. This provides a measurement that is comparable with that seen by a typical subscriber.
The scanner is available in a range of versions to suit the different frequency bands used by LTE networks. The system offers high speed, taking just 20 msec to scan the top cells which includes Reference Signal and Synchronization channels assessment and individual values for each cell's transmit antenna branch. It also offers high resolution (+/- 1 db) across a dynamic range of 60db.
Says Magnus Hylen, SwissQual Product Manager: "The Diversity probe, part of the SwissQual Evolution network measurement system, has long been recognised for its ease of integration and use with a wide range of measurement devices and interfaces. This scanning function allows us to offer an excellent solution for operators that are just starting to roll out LTE technology. For those operators who already operate the SwissQual Evolution system, it represents a simple upgrade. "
