ACT for unattended measurement
Whenever you have to carry out measurements in large areas or want tomonitor your network over a longer
period of time, a measurement solutionthat works reliably and unattended is theideal solution.
Focus Infocom‘s ACT productfamily is available in different
form factors and with different equipment to cover a wide
range of use cases. Custom
designs for individual requirements are also possible.
Our ACT probes are designed for operation under extreme conditions: they areshock and humidity-resistant, and operate at a wide temperature range.

Reliability and security are in the DNAof each ACT probe: Self-testing andself-configuration functionality, a highly
versatile power management, securedata transactions and many more features make sure that ACT systems live
up to their name: a truly reliable autonomous solution.
The ACT product family supports allmajor network technologies from 2G to5G as well as GSM-R/LTE-R, WiFi, VoWiFi,
VoLTE, NB-IoT, and numerous services
from telephony over web browsing
to Youtube™ video streaming, and ofcourse SAM, our platform for measuring
the performance of smartphone apps.
Additional service test options are available on request.

At a glance
SAM is for all

One is for you

SAM, our innovative Smart App Manager,
allows you to create service tests foralmost any smartphone app (social networks, news, video players, messaging,VoIP etc.).

ACT probes are available in different
designs and sizes for multiple use cases(in-car, in-train, rooftop, stationaryetc.). Both PC-controlled and smartphone-only solutions are available.

Benchmarking? Yes!

Data security

With ACT-NGBB, we offer an autonomous
benchmarking solution that combines
the power of our benchmarking tools
with the advantages of unattended
measurement.

Advanced file compression, segmentation techniques and a secured transportlayer guarantee high upload efficiency
and safe data transmission even in weakradio coverage conditions.

IoT

Investment protection

IoT testing is supported with dedicatedmodules based on original NB-IoT
building blocks for maximum end-userperspective.

With our measurement solutions,
your investment is future-proof. Ourproducts can always be upgraded tonew technologies.

All major networks

Antennas: your choice

ACT probes support data and voiceservice tests of all major network technologies: 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, GSM-R/LTE-R.

No matter if you prefer using the internal
smartphone antennas or external onesin cars or trains, we got you covered.

123Fleets

ServerFleet Manager

Depending on model type,probes can be equip­pedwith smartphones, scanners,
modems, IoT devices, orcom­binations of them. The
probes actively perform
service tests, collectingdata autonomously all yearround.

The data is sent to a server
over the air. On the server,
the data is imported intoan SQL-database thatis accessible from theFleetManager. The data
can be combined withdata from other sources.

With the sophisticated“SAAS”-style Fleet Manager users control multiple
ACT fleets over the air, define and distribute measurement jobs, updateboxes, schedule jobs, set
alarms, and more.

ACT Benchmarking
Focus Infocom’s new generation ofautonomous benchmarking systems
combine proven technology withcompletely new concepts. The newprobes use high-end, latest-generation
smartphones, which support all featuresof current mobile network technology
to provide the best possible QoS view.
The probes support all standard service
tests and SAM, our unique technology
for direct use of smartphone apps in test
scenarios.

ACT Train is certified for autonomous
measurement system for permanent
installation in trains. The probes
can be installed in the passenger
compartment for measuring theend user experience using internalantennas for a true QoS view. To
measure the coverage along therailway network, the systems can beequipped with external antennas.

■ Use of internal or externalantennas, depending on use case
■ Certified for railway use■ Mobile network andWiFi measurement■ SAM and numerous test services■ Individual designs for installationin different train types■ POLQA speech evaluation

With its elongated shape, ACT Train is certified
for permanent installation in German trains. For
other countries, other form factors with their own
certification are possible.

Security & Reliability
To ensure highly reliable measurement
conditions, ACT probes continuallycheck all critical operating conditions
and send the results to the FleetManager for assessment. Users can define
alarming thresholds for these indicators
to be instantly informed when problems
occur.
The probes record all relevant measurement data, for example, Layer 1 data,Layer 3 messages, IP Trace, application
layer information, including a set ofmarker events.
The integrated GPS system stores position, velocity, altitude and time data.
The system time is automatically synchronized with the GPS time.
On the data transport layer, block
repetition, block CRC verification andthe call retry function protect against
data loss.

High-compression technology ensures
reduced storage requirements, fast
data transfer from the probes to theserver, and for downloading new software versions to the probes.
The ACT probes feature a secured callback mode for communication setup
with the FleetManager to prevent
unauthorized access.
The large internal storage capacity of
ACT probes ensures maximum data
safety and prevents data loss. Morethan three days of measurement data
can be stored internally.
All collected data is stored internally
first and deleted only after data transfer to the FleetManager was successful.
Even if weak network coverage prevents
immediate data upload, the data is
thus safely stored.

Post Processing
While measurement data provides a
wealth of information, post processing
is what makes this data accessible andpowerful.

Measurement data visualized in an interactive
Tableau™ dashboard.

Data collected with our ACT probes
can be processed with a variety of postprocessing tools. Focus Infocom offers
the FIMAS and XGMA analysis tools withspecific functionality. But you can also
use any SQL-capable tool like Tableau™
or Microsoft Report Builder™ giving you
the freedom to choose your favorite tool
without locking you in.

Post processing converts your raw
measurement data into usable metrics:
validating, extracting the required
information, processing it statisticallyand making it available in interactiveevaluation tools or as static reports.
