Automated Data Testing over Wired & Wireless (Bluetooth®, WiFi, 3G, 4G, LTE)
Networks
Overview:
Communications is dramatically changing as mobility and IP technologies such as LTE, Advanced LTE, WiMax, 3G, and Broadband Internet lead this
transformation. As these technologies are rolled out, basic voice/data quality will ultimately determine the fate of carriers and end equipment
manufacturers.
GL’s VQuad™ NetTest solution provide automated network data testing while supporting Mobile Devices (Android and Apple) and a PC internet
connection.
Using GL’s VQuad™, both Voice and Data Quality can be analyzed simultaneously on a wireless or wired network. Since the GL VQuad™
solution is network independent, all networks are supported including 3G, 4G, WiMax, LTE, and Advanced LTE. In addition all PC based internet connections
are supported including WiFi, Broadband Card (3G/4G/LTE), and Wired Ethernet.

Using GL’s VQuad™ product along with a standard PC internet connection, automated tests including TCP, UDP, HTTP, VoIP, Route, FTP, DNS and
SMS are supported. The PC internet connection can be wired Ethernet, WiFi, or even Broadband card (both LTE and 3G fully supported).
Also, available is the GL’s NetTest package for Data Testing on any supported Mobile Device. Supported tests can be fully automated using the
VQuad™ scripting. While testing mobile devices, the VQuad™ remotely accesses the Android/Apple phone/tablet for initiating the test and
retrieving the results. Both automated remote access along with manual testing is available on the mobile device using the Android/Apple downloadable apps.
The Data tests can be performed while also running Voice Quality tests. In other words, if the network supports both Voice and Data simultaneously,
GL’s solution can support and provide valuable information with regard to data, voice, and video network quality.
GL’s next generation Voice and Data Testing solution along with the result generation is fully automated and can be controlled from a central system or
via a WEB Browser. All test results are automatically relayed to a Central Database where they are accessed via a simple WEB Browser/Viewer.
GL's new VQuad™ Probe is an all-in-one self-contained VQuad™ with Dual UTA test instrument. This
comprehensive hardware device incorporates all the features of the current VQuad™ with Dual UTA unit such as portability and remote accessibility along with
the necessary PC hardware with Win7 OS. The VQuad™ probe can be controlled via Ethernet Remote Desktop (with support for mouse/keyboard) and is of
same length as the current Dual UTA hardware, but about twice as high and 50% wider.
The VQuad™ NetTest for testing data within any network, either PC based or Mobile Device based, is supported within the
VQuad™ Probe.

Mobile Device Controller (MDC)
GL’s Mobile Device Controller (MDC) provides a liaison to all supported Apple/Android based mobile devices for conducting data tests. The MDC
communicates to the mobile devices while accepting commands from VQuad™ and sending test results back to VQuad™. The Data Tests can be
remotely started irrespective if the mobile device is in close proximity of the VQuad™.
Supported specifically for the smart phones, the VQuad™ can send commands to the Mobile Device Controller application residing on the smart
phones to remotely perform automated Data Testing irrespective of whether the device is on a voice call or not. Configuration settings are embedded within
the *.ini file. The testing is fully automated and can be controlled from a central system or via a WEB Browser. All results are sent to the WebViewer™
Central Database via DataImport.

VQuad™ NetTest Events from PC and Mobile Devices
The PC based NetTests using VQuad™ scripting supports any internet connection currently configured on the PC including WiFi, Broadband Card
(3G/4G/LTE), or wired Ethernet. The GL NetTest for mobile devices utilizes the GL MDC (Mobile Device Controller) application. VQuad™ sends commands
directly to the MDC for initiating the NetTest on any connected mobile device. The mobile device will run the specified NetTest irrespective of whether the
phone is on a voice call or not.
- Available tests include TCP, UDP (capacity), VoIP, Route, HTTP (web lookup), FTP, DNS, and SMS.
- Statistics and complete results are available through the WebViewer™ for both Mobile Device NetTests and PC based NetTests.
Note that the NetTest requires a GL Data Server at each target location, and the mobile device requires a GL deployed app (Apple or Android based) for
operation.
