pilot-scout-3-0 mobile network testing

pilot-scout-3-0 mobile network testing design principle, among others, is to serve as a solution for distributed and remote mobile network testing. It comes with CPU and built-in GPS. 

It operates on a stable platform, which also makes it suitable for indoor network monitoring and strategic measurement location. Pilot Scout 3.0 comes with 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. it allows to test and verify key network features of 4G-LTE, high performance test equipment is critical to ensure the necessary parameters and data can be capture accurately.

  • Can be deployed extensively and efficiently for long term projects

To test and verify key network features of 4G-LTE, high performance test equipment is critical to ensure the necessary parameters and data can be capture accurately. This includes a system with high performance processing power and software platform, the latest 4G-LTE CA 2CC/3CC test modules, 4×4 MIMO antennas, P.OLQA voice quality evaluation and many more.

-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.
