Infovista announced that its cloud-based Automated SSV solution directs lay people using commercially available smartphones to conduct tests in the field, leaving valuable engineering expertise free to focus on high value network optimization tasks.
Site testing routines and criteria are defined at the backend and key measurements are autonomously evaluated against pre-defined thresholds rather than manually by a field engineer. This reduces errors in data collection and accelerates the time to Definition of Done status in network-wide testing processes.
Automated SSV uses planning data to predict sweet spots for 5G site acceptance. The use of network planning and testing data to inform and improve the network lifecycle processes is at the heart of network lifecyle automation (NLA). Infovista’s TEMS network testing portfolio enables network optimization of quality and application performance by measuring and benchmarking end user experience. For network operators and regulators, TEMS delivers the ability to walk test, drive test, and dynamically analyze service performance under real-life conditions—indoors, outdoors, and around the clock.

Operators can’t afford for their RF engineers to be driving round the country validating new cell sites; they need them working on core engineering tasks such as RF optimization. Automated SSV makes the network testing process quicker and more accurate, so that the cloud rather than your valuable but finite engineering resource is doing the legwork.
