TEMS Pocket Remote collects and uploads
network data while working as a normal handset.
This allows TEMS Automatic to truly test network
quality from a subscriber’s perspective.
The TEMS Pocket Remote package expands the measurement capa-
bilities of the TEMS Automatic solution. Each TEMS Pocket Remote is a TEMS
terminal-based test probe used for quality assessment.
This new test unit enables operators to monitor areas of the network
where it is difficult for vehicle-based RTUs to obtain measurements. By
placing handheld test probes in the hands of users moving throughout the
network, operators can get a true picture of network quality from a user’s
perspective. This gives operators the ability to troubleshoot and improve
the network and also supports the making and marketing of service level
agreements based on network quality.
TEMS Pocket devices are commercial handsets to which autonomous
network monitoring capabilities have been added. The phone device can be
used as your everyday phone and also do autonomous testing.
Like the traditional test units used with TEMS Automatic, TEMS Pocket
Remote is controlled from a TEMS Automatic back-end server. From the
main console, the operator can send test instructions over the air interface
to groups of devices. Logfiles are created based on these instructions until
they are changed. The test instructions can be changed at any time from
the operator’s console, giving the operator complete control of the type and
frequency of the tests.

PRODUCT SHEET: TEMS POCKET REMOTE
TEMS Pocket Remote performs its measurements automatically, with
no action required by the person using the handset. Testing is invisible;
recording takes place in the background of calls either initiated by the user
(passive testing), or initiated by the test unit (active testing), with a mini-
mum of impact on the user.
For positioning, the phone device uses an integrated GPS or an external
GPS. If positioning is not available TEMS Automatic will use Cell Id to display
the measurement information.
TEMS Pocket Remote is fully integrated into TEMS Automatic, using
the same interface mechanisms for uploading and downloading data and
presentation of measurement results. The data collected by TEMS Automatic
using TEMS Pocket Remote units can be used for analyzing trends, optimizing
networks, benchmarking competitors, and verifying quality as experienced
by the users.
Radio and network parameter information is presented, along with
end-to-end service testing. The information can be used by different groups
within an operator’s organization to improve the overall service quality.
The handheld devices provide the opportunity to measure quality from
an end-user’s perspective more closely than ever before, while at the same
time providing details necessary for later troubleshooting.
Adding TEMS Pocket Remote probes to the TEMS Automatic solution
increases the system’s capacity to monitor network quality. It opens up new
ways of effortlessly collecting data from anywhere in the network. It is a simple
new way to use TEMS Automatic to test from a user’s perspective. With hand-
held devices for quality monitoring, TEMS Automatic is even more accurate and
cost-effective for operators hoping to maximize network quality.
