Key facts
SmartBenchmarker allows mobile network operators and service providers to perform accurate and advanced benchmarking tests that are not only in line with the latest standards and methodologies but also reduce CAPEX and OPEX.
All relevant information at your fingertips – system overview & real-time results
The SmartBenchmarker software facilitates configuration, execution and monitoring of benchmarking test campaigns.
The GUI offers a detailed system overview as well as test results from the connected probes and scanner in real time.
Probe 'live monitoring' for real-time view
Advanced alarming and notification functions allow SmartBenchmarker users to save time. They can customize the collection and processing of events and notifications and only need to actively monitor the tests when prompted.
The configurable smart alarming allows test supervisors to be notified via email or text messaging.
Alarm and notification center
All raised alarms and other system notifications are conveniently displayed in the center, keeping users well informed on any system issues.
SmartBenchmarker executes tests directly on smartphones, using the devices’ native software.
The test results reflect true end-user behavior since SmartBenchmarker probes are based on commercially available device firmware and standard Android apps.
SmartBenchmarker also supports and integrates high-end hardware modules such as the VRB and TCM. Combined, they are the leading solution for end-to-end assessment.
TCM with smartphone
Use same data collection equipment for drive and walk tests
The SmartBenchmarker building blocks include the measuring devices, smartphones and R&S®TSMx scanners.
Smartphones can be seamlessly ported and used as standalone QualiPoc solutions. Combined with an RF scanner and a minimal license fee upgrade, the smartphones can also be used in a portable system such as Freerider.
This kind of modularity and flexibility not only reduces capital expenditures, it also minimizes the number of testing devices needed.

Reduced in size - delivering the max
Future-proof concept using built-in RF antennas
The test device containment (TCM) module sets optimal conditions for uninterrupted data collection in a stable environment. It ensures maximum data quality for large-scale benchmarking campaigns and offers the following key product benefits:
- Enables the use of unmodified test devices (smartphones) and their built-in RF antennas.
- Ensures stable thermal environments and uniform conditions for all test devices to ensure comparable results.
TCMs in a VRB in action
The TCM is fully compatible with Benchmarker II. Up to 16 TCMs can be installed in the special SwissQual vehicle roof box (VRB).
The reference benchmarker
Benchmarker II is a fully fledged solution for large-scale drive-test-based quality of experience benchmarking campaigns. It allows mobile operators and testing service providers to assess and compare service quality (QoS and QoE) based on the most comprehensive set of key performance indicators (KPI) and accurate test scenarios.
Benchmarker II
Highly reliable hardware platform designed for drive testing – shock and vibration proof in line with automotive standards
The phone mounting wall (PMW) is a lightweight, yet robust way to mount 4 smartphones into a drive test car for a benchmarking campaign.
A USB hub delivers power for safe and reliable operation of the smartphones.
It can easily be installed into a car and allows both side-by-side and vertical cascading.
