Rohde & Schwarz Is the Only Vendor to Offer a Full Portfolio of Test Solutions for the Complete Mobile Network Lifecycle
Mobile network operators rely on a number of test and measurement solutions for the lifecycle of a mobile network, which includes planning, installation, optimization and operation of the network. Testing is necessary to ensure the quality of the network and to ultimately deliver the expected subscriber experience. Rohde & Schwarz is announcing today that it is the only T&M equipment vendor to provide solutions for the full mobile network lifecycle from a single source. Â
Munich — At Mobile World Congress 2013 in Barcelona, Rohde & Schwarz together with the Rohde & Schwarz companies SwissQual and ipoque will be exhibiting its entire range of test solutions for mobile network operators. From RF and protocol test systems for vendor selection, to handheld instruments for on-site installation and interference hunting, to drive test systems, benchmarking and deep packet inspection — no other company offers a comparable range and depth of test solutions to ensure the quality of a mobile network. Â
Rohde & Schwarz test solutions assist mobile network operators in a number of ways: initially to choose the correct vendors of infrastructure and user equipment. Network operators then use Rohde & Schwarz test solutions to plan and deploy the network quickly and effectively and to optimize it for efficiency and subscriber experience. Moreover, benchmarking solutions from SwissQual provide critical competitive data on the performance of the network while deep packet inspection from ipoque delivers in-depth knowledge of subscribers' behavior and allows the traffic to be analyzed, controlled and monetized.  Â
Christian Leicher, President and COO of Rohde & Schwarz, commented: "With the recent acquisitions of SwissQual and ipoque we have extended our existing portfolio to now offer a uniquely integrated set of test tools from a single source for the different stages of the network lifecycle. This integrated approach not only brings efficiency to our customers but also helps them reconcile the demands of subscribers with their financial objectives in a demanding business environment."Â Â Â
