Optimize your network

A fully-featured optimization solution for any network

Whether accepting a new site, tuning an initial deployment or optimizing performance in an operational network, field engineers need accurate data they can work with in tight timescales. Today’s engineers need a modern, dependable, and fully-featured optimization and reporting toolset to be effective and productive. SwissQual provides three solutions that can assist.

Diversity Optimizer

For the traditional use case of single channel RF optimization, Diversity Optimizer is the most modern air interface test tool available, and the daily choice of radio performance experts across the globe.

Diversity Optimizer provides both live logging and playback tools for field measurement collection and on-site analysis, and a post-processing system for offline report generation and detailed analysis.

Diversity Optimizer is the only air interface testing solution that has been designed from the ground up in the last two years. That means it has been designed to handle the demands of the latest generation of mobile access network technologies without being bogged down by lots of legacy code that slows down performance.

For rollout, with no load on the network, drive testing is just about the only way of probing the network. Diversity Optimizer collects basic verification data that can be used for site acceptance reports, checking for sectorization errors, switched scrambling codes, mis-matched parameter datafill and weak pilot channels.

During initial tuning activities Optimizer can help identify neighbor list issues, sleeping cells, pilot pollution, pilot dominance issues, azimuth conflicts, boomer sites as well as basic KPIs like access success and dropped call rates.

Once into full operational mode, Diversity Optimizer helps engineers find the sweet spot of operational parameterization, tuning RF performance to maximize coverage and capacity.

Diversity Ranger

Nowadays it’s not enough to check a single channel – optimization engineers need to know the competitive situation as well. Sometimes you might be trying to optimize something that is not optimizable. Knowing the competitive situation – the radio performance of your competitors - gives engineers a much clearer picture, and sometimes engineers will try to get that information by connecting several devices to one laptop-based tool.

But practice has shown that that approach leads to inaccurate measurement results, especially when measuring fast throughputs of modern HSPA and LTE networks. And quite often modern high speed data devices demand much more power than a standard USB port on a laptop was designed to deliver, causing lockups and frozen device issues.

That’s why SwissQual introduced Diversity Ranger, a groundbreaking new product that allows optimization engineers to compare the performance of up to 4 networks simultaneously using new, specially designed, high-speed, dedicated processing units. Ranger offers extreme reliability and complete confidence in the accuracy of the measurements produced.

With an entirely new, lightweight but robust design that allows Ranger to be taken almost anywhere – on foot, motorbike or in car – optimization engineers can now gather all the data they need to make better decisions and fix network issues faster.

QualiPoc Handheld

When equipping a large field force for general field optimization tasks, a handheld optimization tool can be the most effective and economic solution.

As the originator of the idea behind handheld optimization solutions, SwissQual is uniquely positioned to offer QualiPoc Handheld, the optimization solution that fits literally into the palm of your engineer’s hands.

With a wide range of optimization capabilities, QualIPoc Handheld allows total flexibility for completely independent outdoor and indoor, drive and pedestrian testing. Offering full logging and decoding of multiple protocol layers, QualiPoc Handheld can be configured to provide optimization results for voice and video calls, messaging, data, browsing and video streaming.

With clear, easy-to-read on-screen results that are presented in real-time, QualiPoc Handheld offers instant access to hard results that can guide optimization efforts directly in the field, saving time and increasing confidence in the fixes applied.
