TEMS™Pocket Remote
Handheld Test Device for TEMS™Automatic
(GSM/GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA/HSDPA)
The TEMS Pocket Remote package expands the
measurement capabilities of the TEMS Automatic
solution. Each TEMS Pocket Remote is a TEMS
terminal-based test probe used for quality assess-
ment.
This new test unit enables operators to monitor
areas of the network where it is difficult for vehicle-
based MTUs 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 Mobile Test Units (MTUs) 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.
TEMS Pocket Remote performs its measurements
automatically, with no action required by the person
using the handset. Testing is invisible, taking place
in the background with a minimum 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 mea-
surement information.
TEMS Pocket Remote is fully integrated into TEMS
Automatic, using the same interface mechanisms
for uploading and downloading data and presenta-
tion of measurement results. The data collected by
TEMS Automatic using the TEMS Pocket Remote
can be used for analyzing trends, optimizing net-
works, benchmarking competitors, and verifying qual-
ity as experienced by the users.
Radio and network parameter information is pre-
sented, 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 trouble-
shooting.
Adding TEMS Pocket 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 handheld devices for
quality monitoring, TEMS Automatic is even more
accurate and cost-effective for operators hoping to
maximize network quality.
TEMS Pocket collects and uploads network data
while working as normal handsets. This allows
TEMS Automatic to truly test network quality
from a subscriber’s perspective.
