1 Introduction Pilot Pioneer is DingLi's multi-technology laptop-based radio access network's test and
measurement tool. It is an integrated all-purpose product that can be used for indoor measurement
and in-vehicle outdoor drive testing. Various services tests can be conducted with a wide range of
the latest supported commercial test terminals. Pilot Pioneer test and measurement capability is
applicable throughout the network development lifecycle, therefore allowing network and service
provider to fully leverage on their investment. The collected data reflects subscriber's perceptions
and experience, enabling network operators to fine tune the network to maximize subscriber's
satisfaction.
Pilot Pioneer V10.0 is newly designed with simple and user-friendly interface for easy operation.

2 New Features and Devices
2.1 New Features
2.1.1 ViLTE and VoLTE Tests
TDD-LTE ViLTE test is supported by HTC M8 in this version. The software may control the video
call test (e.g. call request, call answer, and call end), and display signaling messages and events.
In addition, FDD-LTE VoLTE test is supported in this version.
Figure 2.1 ViLTE and VoLTE test
2.1.2 High-speed Train Test with GPS Trajectory
Compensation
A new high-performance GPS device with greater sensitivity and faster positioning is used for
high-speed (300 km/h) train test. GPS trajectory compensation technology is built in the GPS
device. This is used to solve the GPS lost or discontinuous positioning caused by high speed or too
many obstructions.
