Drive Service Testing

Test mobile subscriber experience on the move!
SITE has already been widely deployed for periodic QoS testing and KPI generation.
Quality of subscriber experience however is not only driven by static service use but
also by service deployment on the move. Testing during moving is an important

Content Testing / Handset Simulation

Do all handsets work perfectly in your mobile network?
The opportunity for mobile operators and advertisers to sell exciting new mobile
content is enormous. However, the variety of available services like MMS, Video Strea-
ming and Web Browsing may cause problems when using different handsets, since
the service platforms of the network react individually to each mobile phone type!
Data Services like Web and WAP browsing,

streaming, MMS or video telephony are
ARPU driving services.
Premium content download is another
huge revenue driver. Subscribers‘ ex-
pectations on quality of service are legiti-
mately high.
At the same time, handset specific behavi-
or plays an important role in the delivery
of this content and services.
Delivered content not displayed in the ex-
pected format causes a definite negative
impact on customers‘ Quality of Experi-
ence (QoE).

Inbound Roaming
Provide best service to visitors in your network!
Today, subscribers expect all frequently used mobile services to work reliably everywhere
in the world. Thus, the quality and availability of services inside and outside the home
network becomes increasingly important in the battle for customers!
Inbound roaming has a big impact on your revenue and a long list of international
roaming agreements may be desireable. It comes at a cost: each and every roaming
agreement with a new roaming partner requires intense testing according to GSMA
standards. In addition, periodic roaming tests with the most important roaming part-
ners need to be performed. How can efforts be reduced?
Testing according to GSMA IREG stan-

dards is required whenever a new
roaming partner is added. It can be a very
time-consuming and exhaustive task. It
may absorb your most expert staff and
repetitive testing can be just as expensi-
ve as the initial test setup – if performed
manually!
Therefore, test automation is key for cost
effectiveness and operational efficiency.

Outbound Roaming Testing

Assure QoS abroad to optimize and develop

The possiblility to travel the world quite easily is perceived as a matter of course nowadays.
Traveling subscribers take availability and proper operation of all mobile services for granted.
Outbound roaming contributes considerable revenue and therefore requires QoS assurance.

Revenue Leakage & Fraud Detection

Make sure your roaming revenues are not being detoured
“Fraud“ - the word sounds quite exciting when it appears on a cinema billboard or a TV
programme schedule but when it hits you personally, professionally, or in a corporate
environment, it is much less enticing. Fraud will never be completely eliminated but, unless
fraud management countermeasures are undertaken, it is unlikely that it will be reduced to
a manageable level.
SIM Box Detection

Fixed Network Testing

NGN evolution calls for multi-technology testing
With the explosive growth in the mobility arena, one could almost believe that the
future of fixed networks was doomed. However, fixed networks continue to maintain
their relevance, with technological evolution requiring new test approaches.
Technological advances and the complex changeover from established technologies to

new ones triggers the need for ensuring consistency of service quality over all underlying
technologies.
Poor service quality inevitably leads to loss of profit – if, for example, the line is bad the
conversation will be short.

– fixed, mobile and IP-based, either within one technology or across technologies.

But do mobile services work properly everywhere?
There are a lot of interesting and revenue

generating use cases for indoor testing.
Especially in international airports where
testing of inbound roaming characteris-
tics is crucial to secure lucrative business.
Also exhibition centers and shopping
centers are typical buildings where
subcribers very often experience lack of

mass-deploy the cost-efficient nomadic
units in office towers with a lot of business
customers. For indoor testing either the
air interfaces or direct LAN connection can
be recommended.
Sports and Social Events: Testing campaign of short time frame and short notice.
The Nomadic local unit is also ideally

suited for short-term campaigns like Reach out to remote
sport events. A lot of sports fans gather at and temporary
top level events like Formula 1 or soccer locations
championships and expect high levels
of service quality. Due to its fast instal-
lation the nomadic units can be quickly
rolled out even at short notice. After easy
deployment at temporary locations this
autonomous system sends network infor-
mation back via its air interfaces.
Rural Areas: Where there are people there should be communication.
Especially in remote areas it is often im-

possible to install local units, as no fixed
IP connection is available. In this case the
nomadic local unit is capable of estab-
lishing a permanent IP connection via
GPRS/EDGE/HSPA modem. The connec-
tion is upheld via IPSec tunneling. By this
means, test probes can be quickly ins-
talled in rural areas where you cannot rely
on wired IP connections. The Nomadic
local unit is the ideal solution for flexible
deployment in the field.

How does it work? Central SIM Multiplexing Technology – an Unparalleled ‘Teleporter’ for SIM Cards
SIM cards are centrally hosted and virtually transmitted to any of the system’s remote
test stations where the actual test is performed.
SITE can handle thousands of SIM, USIM or Micro-SIM cards in cascade-style boards.
Subscriber information from a SIM card is read out by the system and transmitted via a
LAN/WAN network to any test location required.
The SIM authentication procedure is handled virtually between the wireless interface in
any location and the real SIM stored in the central SIM Multiplexer unit.
Intuitive Workbench – Tailored to Users’ Specific Demands

Alarming and Reporting to adapt SITE exactly to user demands. (see page 50)

The SITE Architecture – Ensuring High-Performance, Security and Stability

SITE runs on a stable, Linux based server solution offering highest standards
of redundancy.
SITE client workstations can be either Windows or Linux based.
To ensure maximum performance, the SITE System uses an open SQL database.
All configuration information, test results, measurements and KPIs are stored logically,
to provide clear measurement and reporting capabilities.
Using powerful filter functionality any database listing can be easily modified and a
multi-format export function allows the sharing of data with other network support
tools.
Behind the Scenes – SITE’s Unique Test Management

SITE can execute tests at any time desired. Via the scheduler window a single or group
of tests can be defined once or periodically, based on very flexible selection criteria of
date, day, time, frequency and number of repetitions.
To avoid any resource conflict, an intelligent resource management system controls
access to interfaces and SIM cards, assuring smooth operation and maximum test
parallelism.
The self-management checks system components regularly and generates an alarm
(SNMP-Trap) in the event of any failure.

(GIS) is integrated into SITE.
Each drive test case collects position data
from a GPS receiver during „visibility“ of
GPS satellites. These are displayed in a GIS.
This means that after service testing a rich
set of KPIs according to GPS data can be
locally analysed displayed on geographic
maps.

Network Registration
Fundamental for all mobile services!
Each mobile subscriber wants to be able

to communicate in the cellular telecom-
munications network without having to
consider whether the network technology
is 2G, 2.5G or 3G.
This requires a successful mobile device
registration on the base station subsys-
tem (BSS). This is always the first step for
further communication.
Even if a call is not set up, the network
needs to be able to communicate with
the mobile handset to pinpoint where it
is. Hence, a mobile network is divided into
multiple cells (Base Transceiver Stations - Location Update procedure is performed:
BTS). And a group of cells is considered a

Messaging
Are your Messaging Services delivered reliably and on time?
Short Message Service (SMS)

Still the favored message service!
SMS is the world-wide killer application
for network operators.
This simple network application results

in large percentages of revenue for every

consistently high quality of service.
SMS often suffers from long delivery
