Drone-based testing

The benefits of drone-based testing with TEMS Pocket TEMS Pocket is a powerful, yet highly portable phone-based mobile network testing solution with support for 5G devices and scanners. Its small form factor makes it ideal for mounting on a drone. It allows you to verify, optimize and troubleshoot your mobile network in environments with limited accessibility. Its advanced testing capabilities provide actionable insights to improve your subscribers’ mobile experience. • Test hard-to-reach locations with drone-mounted TEMS Pocket units and deliver efficient testing of sites places such as industrial complexes and emergency services’ flight corridors • Reduce the time and cost of walk-testing large areas, such as stadiums and public spaces such as beaches by using TEMS Pocket mounted on a drone • Be in control of your testing with powerful device-forcing features and scripting to automate actions, allowing you to efficiently test what you need to • Streamline drone-testing with remote control and management of a fleet of drone-mounted TEMS Pocket units

Solution: TEMS Pocket

Mobile network testing can be difficult if your coverage area has limited accessibility. But just because validating network coverage across an industrial site can be dangerous or along popular a tourist beach can be slow, the network testing must still be done. These locations are often high revenue generators, with premium enterprise customers, or see a lot of potential inbound roaming revenue. You require advanced testing capabilities that provide actionable insights to improve your subscribers’ mobile experience. What is drone-based testing? Drone-based mobile network testing provides a portable testing and troubleshooting solution to enable you to validate network performance in hard-to-reach places. Drone testing can also drive efficiency as it is often faster than walk testing when validating coverage, for example in large stadiums or along popular tourist beaches. Mounting a portable phone-based mobile network testing solution on a drone enables efficient testing of places such as industrial complexes, where walking about freely is not possible, and emergency services’ flight corridors, where testing without a drone or helicopter is not feasible. Drone testing can also be an efficient way to validate the performance of 3D beamforming antennas, where beams are radiating in 3-dimensions. Gaining access to the high-rise buildings these 3D beams are meant to serve can be tricky and time-consuming. Being able to verify that the 3D beams function as planned by using a drone is significantly faster.

With TEMS Pocket mounted on a drone we can test the coverage of the Emergency Services Network along flight corridors and around key emergency services locations such as hospital helipads ESN
