PERSONAL AIR INTERFACE TEST TOOL
FOR CDMA AND WCDMA/GSM

2TEMS™ POCKET 8.2
A VERSATILE, POWERFUL TESTING DEVICE BUILT INTO A CONVENTIONAL PHONE
TEMS Pocket is a phone-based test tool developed for measuring the network
performance and quality parameters of wireless networks. The tool collects
measurement and event data for immediate monitoring or for processing
by TEMS™Discovery or other tools at a later time.
Its combination of small size and powerful testing features makes
TEMS Pocket a unique product. Because TEMS Pocket is designed as an
integral part of the phone, it can be used continually, not only by engineers
and technicians, but by people throughout the operator’s organization.
Because many users employ TEMS Pocket as their primary phone,
operators can constantly and reliably capture data from all areas of the
mobile network. TEMS Pocket 8.2 is installed on several models of the HTC
Touch Pro 2 device, and also on the HTC Imagio, providing support for both
CDMA and UMTS technologies (see chart on page 4).
A complete solution
TEMS Pocket works with TEMS™Investigation to provide the most complete
solution for network optimization. TEMS Pocket generates data collected
with the same level of detail as TEMS Investigation and can be connected
as a UE device as well as to TEMS Investigation. TEMS Pocket and TEMS
Investigation can be analyzed using TEMS Discovery, creating a full solution.
TEMS™Pocket is a convenient and
powerful product for verification,
monitoring, analysis, and
troubleshooting of CDMA, WCDMA/
HSPA and GSM/EDGE mobile
networks. All these capabilities are
integrated into a Windows Mobile®
commercial handset. The Windows
Mobile can be used as an everyday
phone and as a testing device,
allowing anyone to collect data in a
very convenient way.

Indoor Testing
TEMS Pocket 8.2 features a fully integrated indoor test
suite. It supports importation of floor plans in several dif-
ferent formats. In addition, TEMS Pocket allows the user to
simply take a photo of the floor plan using the integrated
camera functionality, and then import it into the indoor
functionality of TEMS Pocket. TEMS Discovery processes
TEMS Pocket indoor logfiles and displays them in a unique
way by positioning the floor plan and data in relation to the
real world.
GPS
TEMS Pocket supports both use of the internal phone GPS
and an external Bluetooth®GPS. The external GPS is con-
nected automatically when enabled from within the tool
without the necessity of manual pairing.
What’s new in this release?
TEMS Pocket 8.2 retains the functionality from TEMS Pocket
8.1, and also adds requested customer features:
Pause between scripts
Support for HTC Imagio
Command sequence improvements
The command sequence has been made more flexible and
now includes additional services. It combines actions includ-
ing idle, voice, FTP, HTTP, Ping, and with this release, SMS
and WAP into a sequence of test cases. The TEMS Pocket-
equipped phone device is now a data collection probe that
achieves consistent testing with minimal effort.
Auto startup, command sequence start, and automatic
file upload
The user simply turns on the phone and TEMS Pocket starts
up automatically. It can also begin execution of the pre-
selected command sequence (including logfile startup). As
soon as the sequence is complete, the optional automatic
upload feature uploads the logfile. Once the upload is com-
plete, the user has the option to restart the command se-
quence. These scripts mimic user patterns in the performance
of various services.
HSUPA and EVDO Rev A support
Some device models supporting CDMA and WCDMA also
support HSPA/HSUPA, allowing users to both measure and
utilize the extended uplink capacity in HSUPA. The models
also feature EVDO Rev A support.
GSM/EDGE support
The TEMS Pocket 8.2 package supports GSM/EDGE networks
for those operators who have not deployed WCDMA/HSPA
technology.
