Category of tests supported by RantCell
Voice and data service validation SMS Load testing with KPI reports OAM based tests which involves cell parameter changes. Node restart tests. Multi RAB and load testing (Phase 2) Mobility testing and automation ,IRAT, 3G,4G and 2G ,SRVCC (Phase 2) CSFB KPI (Phase 2) Voice Path testing and Voice quality POLQA (Phase 3) Layer 3 capability (Phase 3)
Use case. Field Test engineers – integration and benchmarking, drive testing with GPS information.
Cell site service validation on 2G,3G and 4G base stations Verify cell site signal quality , speed test , latency and call setup times. Indoor testing such as shopping malls , commercial locations Send reports out to Network operations in real time to resolve the issues. Field test for customer complaints. Mass deployable saving costs on field tests.
Use case : Validate end user experience on public transport (ex : busy commuter routes on railways) and Drive testing.
Use case : Run Friendly user trials with employees/staff.
Get your staffs physical location work for your benefit to get larger foot print of your network.
Generate real test traffic on network by scheduling concurrent test on employee devices using RantCell admin panel.
Analyze crowd sourced information in real time on RantCell dashboard panel.
Staff can manually run tests as and when needed which will be automatically uploaded into cloud server.
Lighter version of app can be extended to customers device to capture network issues remotely to get first hand information without site visit
Reduce costs on site visits , app can be downloaded anywhere in matter of minutes.
Use case: Compare network quality with competitors . Generate reports in seconds
Use case: Unattended permanent monitoring of SRAN sites QoE with Remote Test Points (RTP).
Have a permanent RTP setup in critical locations such as VIP sites. Wall mountable and secure with power supply. Remotely monitor example corporate customers QoE , capable of auto
switching multi layer RAN 2G,3G,4G and Wi-Fi Identify issues proactively before customer complaints Understand the busy hours experience in corporate sites. Get a alarm notification if the Quality of service depreciates below
thresholds or standards.
Use case: Control and Mirror, remote test devices using Remote Desktop Connection(RDC) protocol
via R-Pi.
Have a control of your remote test devices using RDC protocol. The User interface of your remote devices will be mirrored in website. Remote test devices can be continuously monitored and controlled as like
in live. Multiple remote devices can be monitored in single RDC view.
Use case: Cell Tower , Small cells assets mapping
Automatic detection of cell tower physical location with 200mts accuracy
Active set link visual representation with serving cell and distance to the test data point.
Automatically identify 2G,3G , 4G and small cells and their physical location.
Use cases: End user experience of your network in
mass events?
Check end user experience in mass events such as Call setup success rate, dropped calls , setup failures, if the customer is getting data connection, latency etc.
No data or call setup failures during mass events are loss of revenue for operators and churn. Plus the social media will not be accessible for customers.
Compare with competitor network performance during mass events.
