GO AHEAD

Ascom Network Testing shows industry leadership with first-tomarket TEMS LTE offerings.
LTE is now a reality, with several of the worlds leading mobile operators having recently launched LTE services or preparing to do so. The next big step beyond HSPA in the development of 3GPP technologies, LTE supports and promotes the most important aspects of mobile telephony and broadband: Unparalleled mobility and coverage Increased focus on quality and operational efficiency Explosive growth of data service usage In order to satisfy users and reap the full benefits of LTE from a technological and operational perspective, it is crucial to ensure a proper rollout and to constantly maintain the network to the highest possible standards. Doing this in the most cost-effective way possible is a challenge for every organization embarking on the LTE journey.

The TEMS Portfolio has once again demonstrated industry leadership with the first commercially available tools for LTE.

CONTINUE TO LEAD TEMS VISUALIZATION & TEMS MONITOR MASTER

TEMS Visualization processes eventbased data, analyzing and organizing it so that it can be used for network optimization. TEMS Monitor Master is a carrier-grade software and hardware solution designed to test and monitor the end-to-end quality and user experience of wireless and fixed-line services.

Operators have easy access to comprehensive information based on measurement results and call events, all the way down to the individual call level. This information can be used for troubleshooting, monitoring, and verifying network functionality. TEMS Visualization includes the following LTE features: Support for Ericsson LTE event data from live network traffic Analysis of exceptional events such as dropped calls and blocked calls Analysis of detailed message sequences call-by-call for all recorded traffic Analysis of any channel quality problems and impact on subscribers Fully automated and centralized processing of high volume, subscribergenerated data Meanwhile, TEMS Monitor Master has added two new next-generation modem capabilities: LTE and TD-SCDMA. Both of these provide basic data testing capabilities using commercially available USB dongles that a normal user would use in a standard Windows-based laptop to download data. Initially, this LTE capability will be provided for the U.S. market while TD-SCDMA support will be available for the Chinese market.

If a user can do it, TEMS Monitor Master can test it
