TEMS™ USE CASES
5G site verification
The benefits of site verification with TEMS SSV and TEMS Cloud TEMS SSV combined with TEMS Cloud enables automation and centralization of management for 5G site verification. The solution leverages Precision Drive Testing to centrally define testing routines and criteria, identifying what to test, where to test and how to get there. When in the field, it automatically conducts the tests, meaning even people with no RF expertise can test for you and reports results back to HQ for analysis. This simplified and guided drive testing approach helps you get your 5G network to market faster. • Improve site verification efficiency with centralized orchestration of testing projects and detailed guidance for drive testers • Improve the time taken for a site verification by automating testing routines and leveraging machine learning to predict where tests should be done • Reduce reliance on your skilled engineers with guidance and automation that enables anyone to do site verification • Evaluate site verification in real-time so that issues can be detected early and corrected, preventing time-consuming re-drives
Solution: TEMS SSV App
Whether it’s rolling out a new 5G network, a new technology overlay, or expanding your network coverage footprint, accurately assessing pre- launch performance is critical. Only by testing and optimizing the network from your subscribers’ perspective can you be confident that the network is going to deliver the promised 5G user experience. This is where site verification comes in. What is site verification? Site verification involves validating that new 5G sites and clusters provide the intended coverage and that all voice and data services are working as expected before subscribers are allowed to access the network. Within a mobile operator’s organization, the responsibility for initial site tuning and verification sits with the network deployment team. The challenge is one of complexity and scale. For every new site that is built, the network deployment team needs to ensure it is well integrated with its neighbors in the existing network and performing optimally. In the case of most 5G network roll-outs, this will involve many thousands of sites each requiring comprehensive drive testing. A time- consuming and expensive process, where finding efficiencies is critical. The network deployment team has responsibility for not only validating, troubleshooting and optimizing the deployment, but they also need to be able to provide reports to the business on the status of the 5G network rollout. With operators’ CAPEX and OPEX under pressure and scrutiny, the network deployment team is on the front line to ensure the rollout is completed quickly, cost- effectively and accurately.
For operators that are racing to deploy new 5G sites, while continuing to optimize and expand existing network coverage, this new network testing approach is a game-changer. Nokia
