Focus Infocom’s ACT SPO systems
are designed for ad-hoc QoS, performance and diagnostic tests. They
do not only offer excellent value formoney, but also enable completely
new applications for mobile network
measurement.

The devices are small so that even amulti-channel system is light-weightand compact. A suitable power bankor charger keeps the devices running.
Each device can be used stand-alone,
independent of the set.

While they come without the additional hardware of autonomous systems
meant to be permanently built into carsor trains (like watchdogs circuits etc.),
they are a great alternative for mobile
scenarios, where ease of use, budget
constraints and a compact design are
the deciding factors.
ACT SPOs provide the same full set ofservice tests and measurement data
for end-to-end QoS measurements,
and a full range of diagnostic analysis,
including two-way POLQA speech
quality testing and chipset-level L1and L3 data.

Testcase in progress…

Suppose you are planning measurements in a specific area. Your equipment–a set of ACT SPOs–arrives by
mail, and the instructions are just afew easy steps:

Mount the devices so that GPS
coverage is available and makesure that every channel has acomparable radio situation.
Connect a suitable power
supply (e.g a power bank). For
short-time measurements (afew hours), the battery of thedevices is sufficient.
The devices start measuring
automatically when they areswitched on, or when a power
supply is connected.

Next upload due in 15 min.

The devices auto-connect to
the FleetManager, fetch thelatest version of the intended
test scenario, and register formonitoring.
Check whether the devices
are up and running at regularintervals. If a device is notrunning, restart it.
After the measurement, startthe data upload or wait for theautomated upload to finish.

A simple post processing chain will
generate high-level reports, export
to interactive data-viewing tools
such as Tableau Reader, interactive
dashboards and provide data for adhoc analysis including full diagnostic
drill-down if required.
Once the raw data is uploaded to theinfrastructure, it is usually imported
and ready for analysis within hours.

Data processing and analysis can bedone in several ways: We offer different
models to accommodate every need,from full-fledged managed services
to providing the necessary equipment for your own analysis.
Typically, automated processing steps
include basic testing and validation,
GPS interpolation or map matching
to improve position accuracy, andA-side and B-side data coupling for acomplete overview of service quality.

Visualize results
in interactive dashboards

Once the raw data is imported
into the FIMAS database, it can bevisualized in interactive dashboards,
for example using Tableau™ or any
other SQL-capable data analytics tool.

These dashboards provide viableinsights into your data as a basis formaking the decisions that drive yourbusiness forward.
