OUTDOOR DRIVE TESTING

Whether it's a University campus, mine site, train, tram or bus route, or large council depot, monitoring and improving customer experience is crucial to obtaining a competitive advantage with the advent of today's 4G/5G enabled smart phones, tablets, vehicles and even smart watches. Our drive test surveys allow you to obtain a fine-grained view of how smart phone users experience 4G/5G networks – whether they are using voice, video or data services.

Dynamic Wireless's outdoor drive testing enables the measuring of quality-of-experience (QoE) metrics for the services and applications your customers are actually using, including advanced YouTube video testing, Facebook application, and Skype call measurements. In addition to the drive test and bench marking measurements, recorded metrics are expandable to support voice and video quality measurements as well.

Some of the detailed metrics which can be graphed and overlaid on Google Earth include: 

• RSRP - By Serving Cell Primary, First Strongest Cell Tower, to N+1 Strongest Cell Tower, Serving System and Band

• RSRQ - By Serving Cell Primary, First Strongest Cell Tower, to N+1 Strongest Cell Tower, Serving System and Band

• Throughout Measurements - IPERF, FTP, HTTP

• Audio Quality and Video Quality streaming tests (POLQA, PESQ, PEVQ-S)

• Extensive Application Testing - such as IPERF, FTP, HTTP, Browsing, YouTube and Facebook Testing, allowing for QoS and QoE testing

• Voice Quality Measurements - based on the POLQA and PESQ algorithms both in uplink and downlink directions, providing Individual MOS scores

In addition, detailed and comprehensive radio interface metrics are recorded, which allow for QoS and QoE measurements and for conducting service quality bench-marking with competitor networks.

Our intuitive coverage surveys offer a cost-effective way for your organisation to conduct outdoor drive test surveys, offering a means of determining if your premises have sufficient coverage, and what locations black-spots are present. When the drive test survey results are overlaid in Google Earth and coupled with Google Street View, an exact view of the dead-spots can be provided, allowing for a quick remote analysis of the environmental conditions surrounding the black-spot, such as buildings, terrain and other environmental clutter.
