    Why to perform drive testing and what are the types of drive testing in mobile network? 

  • Transform any Android smartphone into mobile network testing tools to identify primary user experience (QoE) issues such as zones with no network coverage, dropped calls, low data speeds, poor video user experience and high latency etc.
  • Perform Voice call, SMS, upload and download speed tests, HTTP, cell availability, video streaming using RantCell app and get KPIs reports. For example; 4G LTE speed test, VoLTE test, CSFB, SRVCC KPIs. For data sheet on KPIs and Network parameters.



    • Voice and Data services are the basic service for any carriers in the mobile network so drive test is the best possible solution in the telecom industry in order to collect signal strength, mobile network latency of the network.
    • Drive test is conducted for checking coverage and quality of the cellular network signal, mobile network latency, voice/data services, user QoE and check the performance of the mobile network using RF Drive test tools. There are 3 types of drive tests which are Site level, Cluster Level and Market level.

      SSV or SCFT drive test 

    • Single cell functionality test or single site verification that is static test which collect each sector information of the cell site in terms of coverage and quality parameters depends upon the technology in the cellular mobile network.

      Dynamic drive test 

    • Dynamic drive test means moving around the site and collects the network information of the cell site in terms of coverage and quality and also perform Short calls and long calls in order to check the network strength, stability of the network, Handover between the cell sites, voice and data quality of the mobile network, continues test and non-stop continuous test, scheduled test etc.

      MSV or Cluster drive test

    • Multiple site verification or Cluster drive which collects the multiple sites of mobile network signal, network strength to enhance the QOE in cellular networks in terms of voice and data service on the mobile network which measures 4G LTE drive test radio parameters like RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, PCI, EARFCN and WCDMA drive test parameters like RSCP, RSSI, Ec/Io, PSC, UARFCN etc.
    • Cluster pre and post drive for 2g 3g 4g drive test parameter under voice and data services and conduct drive test for ARPU costumer complaints based on network usage for cost optimisation techniques in telecom.
    • Generate cluster drive-based report on daily basis or hourly basis as per the client requirement for QoE monitoring.
    • Conduct cluster drive for all kind of tests like Ping test, call test, speed test, HTTP test, SMS test and Stream test and analyse the drive data for QoE monitoring.

      Mobile network optimisation

    • Minimise the call drop and interference in the network and increase the indoor and outdoor network coverage of signal strength.
    • Mobile Network optimisation of wireless network includes network performance indicator monitoring, periodic test, Latency in mobile network, Handover between cell sites, voice and data call analysis.

      Drive test solution should include: 

    • Validation of new site surveys and approval for operational readiness.
    • User QoE Benchmarking large geographical area pre and post optimisation.
    • KPI Monitoring, KPI improvement analysis, QoE monitoring, cost optimisation techniques in telecom and real time data analysis.
    • Solution should support to monitoring QoE permanently for High ARPU Customer to enhance the Quality of experience on mobile network. Real time monitoring with threshold alarms when service degrade.
    • Real time upload of data and web-based drive test data analysis.

10 FAMOUS WEBSITES BUILT WITH REACT JS The React JS library has grown in popularity over the years. Based on MVC architecture, it provides developers with the ability to create dynamic web page templates (e.g., pages with an extensive amount of interactive elements on them). That’s one of the major reasons that so many popular web resources are based on React JS. Let’s take a more detailed look at the advantages of employing this prominent library and a list of top 10 websites that use React JS, so you can view specific examples. HOW DOES REACT JS WORK? The library was created by the Facebook team as a tool to provide high-performance UI solutions. At its core lies an extraordinary page rendering mechanism, which allows all the content to refresh immediately in response to user actions.  From a technical point of view, the creators' ultimate goal for React JS was to keep code from "attaching" to data flow every time and, instead, to s...

The Scope of Cloud Computing One of the most popular IT trends of the recent times, cloud computing has not only made it very convenient for users but it has even helped many business organizations in the real saving of money. The term ‘Cloud” refers to an extensive or large-scale use of the internet wherein the services get received by users through the internet. In short,  Cloud Computing is an internet-based computing recent IT trend. Understanding Cloud Computing  The processes of computing wherein the computers get shared instead of making use of local computers or dedicated devices is cloud computing.  In a layman’s language, in cloud computing, the regular or often used data gets stored on multiple servers for later access using the internet. Different services such as applications, storage, and services get linked to the user’s computing machines through the internet. What is the need for cloud computing? Cloud com...
