MOBILE NETWORK MEASUREMENTS & FIELD TESTING

Drive Test 4G / 5G

Measure how a mobile network performs along the routes that matter. We coordinate 4G / 5G drive testing with engineer and vehicle support, an agreed test plan and clear measurement records.

THE RIGHT SCOPE FOR YOUR PROJECT

Understand network performance on the road.

Drive testing brings network measurements together with location and route information. We agree the areas to cover, the operators or network configurations involved and the test scenarios before organising the field activity. This helps make the collected results relevant to the actual project objectives.

The scope can cover coverage checks, voice and data testing, mobility observations and measurements before or after network changes. Engineer, vehicle and driver support can be coordinated for a defined campaign. Test equipment, software licences, SIM cards and reporting responsibilities are agreed for each assignment, including projects using equipment supplied by the project partner.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

Measurements with a clear objective.

Routes and scenarios are selected around the coverage areas, service experience and network changes you need to assess.

Coverage & service checks

Route-based testing of the selected mobile network and services, with measurements and location records collected under the agreed test scenarios.

Before & after network changes

Repeatable routes and scenarios for checking service behaviour around equipment upgrades, new sites or other network changes included in the project.

Drive test campaign support

Engineer, suitable vehicle and driver arrangements for field testing campaigns, coordinated around the schedule, routes and equipment requirements.

HOW WE DELIVER

Define the route. Collect useful measurements.

Scope

Agree the network, test objectives, route coverage, schedule and reporting requirements.

Prepare

Confirm engineer and vehicle resources, equipment, software licences, SIM cards and test scenarios.

Measure

Carry out the agreed route and test activities, recording measurement logs and route information.

Report

Organise the collected records and deliver the agreed outputs, observations and follow-up items.

CLEAR OUTPUTS

Results that follow the test plan.

The format, level of analysis and reporting responsibilities are agreed before the campaign so the collected data can be used by the project team.

BEFORE WE START

Useful to know.

Can you provide an engineer and a vehicle with a driver?

Yes. Engineer and vehicle / driver support can be included in the campaign scope. Share the proposed start date, testing areas, duration and expected daily working schedule so availability and resources can be assessed.

Who supplies the test equipment, software and SIM cards?

These arrangements are agreed for each assignment. We can coordinate a campaign using project-supplied measurement equipment. Please specify the required devices, software licences, SIM cards and any setup or training requirements.

What information is needed for a drive test proposal?

Send the expected dates, duration, locations or routes, daily working hours, required engineer and driver roles, test scenarios and reporting scope. Include the equipment arrangements and any travel or accommodation requirements.
