Product: SYMPHONY MULTI
The Symphony Multi has the same powerful
features as the QVoice Symphony, with the
difference that it runs on a different hard ware platform.
It has been proven to be reliable and popu lar in North and South America, Asia, Europe
and other parts of the world.
SYMPHONY MULTI
The Symphony-Multi test system is backed
by the most qualified development team in this
market segment, providing an unrivaled knowl
edge base, an extensive range of technical re
sources, and global experience in every air in
terface.
QUALITY OF SERVICE BENCHMARKING
EVERYWHERE
SYMPHONY MULTI
The latest generation of this Quality of Service (QoS) wireless bench-
marking system, allows cellular operators to evaluate competitive network
-
performance from the subscriber’s perspective while simultaneously gather-
-
ing engineering performance data on their own networks.
-
Flexible and scalable
Any combination of test phones, data cards, and scanning receivers
can be configured – up to a total of 24 devices. All major air interface
technologies are supported, including GSM/EDGE, UMTS, HSPA, CDMA-1x,
EvDO Rev A, and iDEN, making Multi an ideal platform for the evaluation
and measurement of multiple diverse wireless systems.
Mix-and-match of technologies
Harnessing the efficiency of multiple parallel test phones/cards with
the in-depth analysis capabilities of the scanning receiver, Symphony Multi
provides the most capable, full-featured mobile test system in the indus
try. Each Single Board Computer (SBC) module can support one test phone
and one data card interface, increasing the number and type of simultane
ous tests that can be performed and reducing the amount of hardware
required.
Proven history
Built on the widely deployed Multi hardware system from Ascom Inc.
(formerly Comarco), Symphony is also available as an in-line upgrade for
their extensive existing installed base of QoS measurement products.

All-in-one scanning receiver
Symphony Multi employs the latest generation 3G scanning receiver
– a flexible, precise, and powerful resource for advanced network problem
diagnosis. Tightly coupled to calling module operation, the scanner provides
an independent and powerful diagnostic tool, facilitating real-time interfer-
ence and problem analysis.
Worldwide Support
Built to exacting standards and backed by superior worldwide support,
the Multi is designed to operate reliably in real world field conditions under
harsh operating environments, ensuring integrity of data collection and
maximizing engineering productivity.
Symphony Multi
QVP is the leading solution for end-to-end video, data,
and audio network QoS analysis. QVP offers a wealth
of analytical features including a QoS and DPI centric
overview of network performance as well as detailed
engineering analysis for network engineers. QVP also
supports automatic expert analysis of circuit and
packet-switched services, pinpointing possible causes
of network problems.
