SwissQual’s quality measurement solutions for WIMAX networks

It is a highly scalable drive test solution offering network benchmarking, optimisation and service monitoring. SwissQual Diversity is already in use with more than 70 customers in 50 countries.

Diversity is designed to help service providers identify interference issues and cell site configuration problems enabling a rapid deployment and smooth on going maintenance of the network. More importantly, it can also show a direct comparison of the quality delivered by a new WiMAX network versus that available from existing networks running other technologies.

The Diversity test platform provides the ability to test WiMAX data cards, network elements and services from the early stages of development through final operation. This allows design, optimisation and quality assurance engineers faster and more cost-efficient work.

The test types supported include FTP, UDP, HTTP, video streaming, email, VoIP call and many others.
