Pilot Scout 3.0

Pilot Scout 3.0 design principle, among others, is to serve as a cost-effective solution for distributed and remote mobile network testing. It comes with high-performance CPU and built-in high sensitivity GPS. 

It is very compact and operates on a stable platform. This also makes it suitable for indoor network monitoring and strategic measurement location. Pilot Scout 3.0 comes with extensive measurement features and is an economical option for large-scale project and deployment.

The embedded multi-technology modules are stable and ready for operation as soon as the equipment is powered. Pilot Fleet Unify system remotely manages Pilot Scout 3.0 for real-time test (fleet) administration, data management, and analysis.

  • Can be used for various multi-technology voice and data application testing
  • Can be deployed extensively and efficiently for long term projects

Network Features and Performance Verification  

To test and verify key network features from the latest radio access network technology, high performance and modern test equipment is critical to ensure the necessary data can be captured accurately. Pilot Scout is consistently equipped with high performance processor and the latest multi-technology test devices (or chipsets) that fulfills the test requirements. 

Affordable Solution for Large Scale Network Monitoring 

Pilot Scout is compactly designed with less number of test modules per probe as compared to Pilot RCU. This is to compliment the segment, where the amount of test modules or form factor such as with the Pilot RCU, are not necessarily required. This in turn makes Pilot Scout a much more cost-efficient solution for the capability it delivers. Large scale network monitoring deployment can be done either in stages (with incremental investment) or a full-blown solution.

Non-intrusive and Passive Network Testing 

Continuous remote test and measurement can be conducted during special events, densely populated hotspots or within areas with limited space e.g. narrow streets or in a building. Pilot Scout is suitable for both stationary, indoor and outdoor (drive test) usage, with great portability advantage. As the test configuration, probe administration, and data transfer etc. are remotely managed and centrally controlled by Pilot Fleet Unify, it allows Pilot Scout to be used as passive test probe which constantly perform active network measurement.

Remote and autonomous indoor test 

Pilot Scout, which is remotely controlled, can be deployed in densely populated public places, such as Shopping Mall, office building, metro station, airport, etc. Pilot Scout can be used to conduct long-term indoor tests, collecting high volume data reflecting true network quality and performance.

24×7 network monitoring to detect and troubleshoot network issues 

Quite often, a short-term test is not enough to detect specific network problems. Pilot Scout can be deployed on the site to continuously collect data and detect network problems for troubleshooting.

Cell Site Monitoring 

Pilot Scout can be deployed by co-locating with the cell site or near it, to monitor the cell site performance. If any error is detected, Pilot Scout may send out alarm information.
