Overview

The recently released vMobile™ is a handheld ultra-portable device that brings true mobility to voice and data quality testing for any mobile phone and any mobile radio, changing the way automated drive and walk testing is performed. The vMobile™ is simple to set up and operate for running quality tests in order to benchmark both mobile phone networks and mobile radio networks.

The vMobile™ handheld device supports fully automated audio testing for mobile phones (any phone, any carrier, any network) including Voice Quality using POLQA, Delay measurements, Audio Dropout analysis, and full call control with Call Fail and Call Drop metrics. All tests include GPS location for plotting results and events within Google Maps using the GL WebViewer™.

In addition, the vMobile™ device supports fully automated audio testing for mobile radios (including connectivity to any 4-wire analog device). This allows remote testing of mobile radios with automated PTT (Push to Talk) along with Voice Quality and Delay measurements. All functionality and configuration of the vMobile™ is provided using the remote web-based Console and Console App (installed on any Android/iOS device).

The vMobile™ handheld portable hardware includes two Bluetooth® modules (connecting to two mobile phones simultaneously), a 4-wire analog port with PTT for connecting to any mobile radio or any analog headset interface, an embedded Wi-Fi module for communicating to the Central System, and an onboard GPS receiver. The user can easily select either Bluetooth or Analog mode. The embedded Wi-Fi supports remote operation along with remote audio analysis and sends all results/events to a Central Database, accessed through GL’s WebViewer™ (web browser).
