How to test a mobile network
How to test a mobile network?

To get the most out of the investments you have made in mobile network testing solutions, it helps to better understand today’s mobile network structure. Different tests and procedures apply when you want to understand either the performance of the network itself or the performance of over-the-top (OTT) applications running in the network.

How to test a NB-IoT / LTE-M network?

Are narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) and LTE-M just standard add-on to LTE? Not when you look at it from an optimization point of view. When it comes to optimization, networks for IoT applications pose a completely new coverage challenge and good network coverage is essential. Unlike humans, IoT installations, for example in basements, cannot change position to get a better signal.
