february 22, 2018 | by johanna sochos

there is a myriad of smartphone applications available, covering almost any use case one can imagine. network providers want to ensure that their mobile connection offers everyone a smooth usage experience, especially for the most popular apps such as facebook. to do this, they need tests targeting mobile data applications.

nb-iot: how to test quality of service in nb-iot networks (part 4)

december 28, 2017 | by andreas spachtholz

nb-iot networks are designed for machine-to-machine communication, which generally requires low data rates. when building nb-iot networks, it is essential to test the performance of new implementations to ensure the required network quality. quality of service (qos) tests are typically performed with nb-iot modules that are controlled by software.

interference hunting: the real meaning of automatic direction finding

november 13, 2017 | by yunuen wagner

the need for interference hunting in mobile networks is steadily increasing. and field engineers often ask us which tool we would recommend in order to be successful in the field. with decades of expertise, what we can say for sure is that it depends: the right tool for successful field service operations depends on the source of interference. sources are manifold, but with the most suitable tool, they are easy to locate.
