XIV-WTDT Walk Test Drive TestWalk Test

• Our Walk tests are conducted via Smart Handheld Devices

with RF signal recording software to enable our engineers

to trace the RF environment experienced by handheld

users. These walk tests can be conducted in any indoor or

outdoor environments such shopping malls, office spaces,

warehouses, Stadiums, even on trainlines.

Contents Page

Drive Test

• Whereas our drive tests focus primarily in fast

fading outdoor environments where traffic mobility

is important. The drive data captured by our

scanners and smart handheld devices also allow us

to identify what cell towers are serving your users

and which sites are faulty or underperforming.
