As a mobile operator, • how do you meet exponentially-increasing subscriber demand for services in malls, stadiums, and even skyscrapers? • how do you test anywhere and ensure the best quality of service in order to reduce churn? • what tools are available that are portable, easy-to-use, and safe that cover all my indoor testing needs? Many of today’s newer data services/device applications, such as FaceTime, social networking, video, location-enabled apps, and multiplayer gaming, have a stationary/indoor use model. This, plus the density of subscribers in confined indoor areas, makes it crucial for operators to ensure adequate RF coverage and capacity for the indoor environments in their service area. No Matter the Location, JDSU Can Test It JDSU is a market leader in traditional drive testing, and thousands of vehicles are equipped with our solution for network RF optimization and service testing. However, vehicle-only solutions mean you cannot test in some outdoor or indoor environments—where most of your subscribers are located and use your services. JDSU has the solution to address this growing challenge. It is simple: Anywhere you can walk, you can test, from the highway to the mallway. “ “ Indoor demographics are stressing mobile networks, requiring both operators and NEMS to increase their focus on indoor testing to guarantee their services and revenues.

Easy as 1-2-3
With three simple operating modes or testing and user flexibility, RANAdvisor letsabsolutely anyone conduct tests, giving providers ultimate resource flexibility.
OneTouch
Oneouch mode lets anyone who can power on the phone perorm pre-configuredtests without any intervention. Results can be automatically transerred via FP to acentral server or detailed analysis.
TestMeNow
Te estMeNow mode offers additional flexibility or users without requiring detailedknowledge o the actual RF. estMeNow can be configured to perorm three tests, a
voice test, an HP test (connect to a website), and an FP (Put and Get) test, so pro- viders can test their network the way their customers use it. Users can preconfigure, oramend, these three simple tests to veriy the three key services delivered to customers atthe push o a button and simple pass/ail indicators. Again, all results are captured andstored and can be transerred via FP to a central server or detailed analysis.
Engineering Mode
Engineering mode provides ultimate flexibility letting usersexecute any test while giving providers access to all the mea-surements and tests being perormed. Te flexible graphicalsequencer lets providers pre-configure complex test scenar-
ios that engineers can execute manually, or the device can beconfigured to execute them automatically.
Users access all functionality via a simple GUI and

Use a Handheld to Test the Network the Way Subscribers Use It
Customers use voice, web, and e-mail in parallel, so providers must be able to testtheir network the same way. Tat’s why JDSU introduced the unique parallel testsequencer. Te sequencer lets users create and run serial and parallel test sequencesdirectly on the device which simplifies user test case setup when stress testing thenetwork. Te graphical display updates as the test is running to provide the statuso every test. Tis capability clearly shows which tests are running as well as whichtests have passed or ailed. Tis highly graphical solution provides unoreseen flex-ibility and visibility on a handheld network test tool.
RANAdvisor Handheld supports complex serial and parallel test scenarios that cannow be perormed using handheld devices. A simple GUI lets users configure testsby simply touching the test and running it serially or in parallel, which was neverpossible in a handheld device until now. Te easy-to-understand screen displays
serial tests rom top to bottom, with parallel tests shown in the same row.
Engineers can even share test sequences with other users to achieve consistent test-ing across dispersed teams.
Unattended Operation
Users can also remotely start and stop tests by sending an SMS rom a controllingdevice to either single or multiple test devices. Tis capability allows or deployingRANAdvisor Handhelds at an unattended location and sending an SMS to start/stoprecording with results sent (optionally) to a central server or analysis. JDSU also pro- vides an application or Android phones that will send the start or stop SMS to one ormultiple RANAdvisor Handhelds.
Synchronize Multiple RANAdvisor Handhelds via Bluetooth
Te ability to control and synchronize up to seven handhelds, typically located ina backpack, rom a control handheld is very useul or indoor collection. Whenrecording is started on the controlling handheld, a Bluetooth message is sent toremote handhelds, instructing them to begin recording. Tis guarantees synchro-nization which is crucial during this type o testing. During outdoor collection,location inormation is synchronized via GPS.
During indoor collection, users can use pre-defined waypoint files that guide themthrough a pre-determined test route or use the “I-am-here” capability to ollow a
different route. Each waypoint or I-am-here action on the control handheld resultsin a message being sent via Bluetooth to all remote handhelds, synchronizing theirposition and test results within the test route with the controlling handheld.
Tis capability provides a scalable, portable test solution or recording with up toeight devices: one control device and up to seven devices in the backpack. Tis typeo solution is useul to veriy multiple operators in parallel, generate load at a spe-cific location, test small cells, or test WiFi hotspots.

View Cells on a Map
A cell site database can be loaded into the device that shows the actual cell sitesbeing communicated with on one display.
• Loads cell site files (compatible with drive test files)
• Shows site locations on indoor and outdoor maps
• Shows serving cell or current location
• Shows cell site name on parameter list view
Geo-Locate Indoor Testing
Increased testing o indoor environments requires the ability to locate measure-ments on a map without GPS satellites. Creating waypoints and using outside GPSmeasurements makes it easy to view indoor measurements on the mapping inter-ace. Also, it allows or logging the height o the measurements to create complex views o multistory buildings.
• Create and use waypoints to direct collection routes
• Simpliy indoor map location using GPS outside the building
• Log indoor map height when testing multiple floors
Lock to a Specific UARFCN
When deploying a new cell site, adding a new overlay requency at an existing cell-site, or revalidating the existing requencies deployed, it is sometimes necessary tolock to the selected requency or testing..
Te JDSU solution can lock the device to a specific requency (UARFCN) guaran-teeing that it will remain at that requency despite network conditions so users cancomplete the test and validate the requency band.
When testing an existing or deploying a new requency, engineers must be able toorce/lock their phone to the specific UARFCN under test, irrespective o where
they are within the cell coverage area. Using only a commercial handset like theSamsung Galaxy SIII, JDSU can lock to a specific WCDMA requency (UARFCN),eliminating any possibility o handovers to other UARFCNs or technologies helpingproviders generate revenues aster. Unlike other orcing solutions, JDSU uniquelyoffers this capability on popular commercial handsets like the Samsung Galaxy.
Te key benefits are enhanced testing speeds and the ability to generate revenuesaster rom new requencies.

Test a Specific LTE EARFCN
Similar to UARFCN testing, you can test a specific EARFCN or LE on selectedSamsung Galaxy devices. However, a current limitation in the Qualcomm chipsetprevents locking, and handovers may still occur. When using EARFCN preerencemode, testers remain at a fixed location within the cell coverage area.
Lock to a Specific CDMA Channel
Several occasions require deploying a new cell site, adding a new overlay requencyat an existing cell-site, or re-validating existing requencies. RANAdvisor can lock adevice to a specific CDMA channel, guaranteeing that it will remain on that channeldespite network conditions. Tis eliminates handovers so users can complete testswithout interruption.
Forcing Indicator
RANAdvisor will alert users when orcing is enabled. It is common or engineers toshare devices, and this alert lets engineers decide i they want to remain locked to aspecific channel/requency or reset back into normal operation mode.
RRC/NAS Protocol Support
When perorming data tests, all IP protocol is captured by the device and can be ana-lyzed with the JDSU SAR protocol analysis solution. PCAP files are Wireshark®compatible.
