where it is difﬁcult for vehicle-based RTUs to obtain measurements. By

placing handheld test probes in the hands of users moving throughout the

network, operators can get a true picture of network quality from a user’s

perspective. This gives operators the ability to troubleshoot and improve

the network and also supports the making and marketing of service level

agreements based on network quality.

network monitoring capabilities have been added. The phone device can be

used as your everyday phone and also do autonomous testing.

Remote is controlled from a TEMS Automatic back-end server. From the

main console, the operator can send test instructions over the air interface

to groups of devices. Logﬁles are created based on these instructions until

they are changed. The test instructions can be changed at any time from

the operator’s console, giving the operator complete control of the type and

frequency of the tests.

TEMS Pocket Remote performs its measurements automatically, with

no action required by the person using the handset. Testing is invisible;

recording takes place in the background of calls either initiated by the user

(passive testing), or initiated by the test unit (active testing), with a mini-

mum of impact on the user.

For positioning, the phone device uses an integrated GPS or an external

GPS. If positioning is not available TEMS Automatic will use Cell Id to display

the measurement information.

TEMS Pocket Remote is fully integrated into TEMS Automatic, using

the same interface mechanisms for uploading and downloading data and

presentation of measurement results. The data collected by TEMS Automatic

using TEMS Pocket Remote units can be used for analyzing trends, optimizing

networks, benchmarking competitors, and verifying quality as experienced

by the users.

Radio and network parameter information is presented, along with

end-to-end service testing. The information can be used by different groups

within an operator’s organization to improve the overall service quality.

The handheld devices provide the opportunity to measure quality from

an end-user’s perspective more closely than ever before, while at the same

time providing details necessary for later troubleshooting.

Adding TEMS Pocket Remote probes to the TEMS Automatic solution

increases the system’s capacity to monitor network quality. It opens up new

ways of effortlessly collecting data from anywhere in the network. It is a simple

new way to use TEMS Automatic to test from a user’s perspective. With hand-

held devices for quality monitoring, TEMS Automatic is even more accurate and

cost-effective for operators hoping to maximize network quality.
