Drive Test Product Expands Use of Taxis, Fleet Vehicles to Measure Wireless Network Quality

(Product News, 14 Mar 2008)


Andrew Wireless Solutions, the CommScope Inc. division focused on communications systems and products, has expanded its family of automated drive test solution products with the introduction of Invex3G Autonomous Compact, a smaller, more economical unit that is ideal for measuring wireless network quality using taxis, buses and other fleet vehicles anywhere in the world.

The Invex3G Autonomous Compact—slightly thicker than a laptop computer—is ideal for operators desiring a smaller footprint for housing the remote drive test equipment in third-party vehicles such as taxis, buses and delivery trucks. The solution can handle three mobile handsets— providing a cost-effective solution that enables operators to optimize their own network while benchmarking up to two competitors' wireless coverage.

The Invex3G Autonomous and Invex3G Autonomous Compact enable wireless operators and independent testing companies to capture critical network performance data, reduce traditional drive testing and benchmarking costs, and free up the valuable time of their skilled technicians and engineers. Intended for installation in third party fleet vehicles such as taxis, buses, trains, and delivery trucks, Invex3G Autonomous does not require skilled radio planners or technicians to attend to the equipment during testing or idle times. The equipment runs unaided and operates remotely, enabling drive test data and results to be sent across a remote radio link between the test equipment and a central operations center. Invex3G Autonomous puts a vast fleet of third party vehicles to work on behalf of wireless operators, and, by extension, all users.
