Drive testing of 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G NR mobile networks

Nemo Outdoor is a laptop-based drive test tool for 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G NR mobile network testing which supports over 300 devices and scanning receivers, from various vendors, all the latest network technologies and latest smartphones. Nemo Outdoor offers a full drive test solution for wireless network testing / mobile network testing, troubleshooting, and optimization.

In mobile network testing Nemo Outdoor’s powerful software platform works with all wireless technologies and with different protocol and application testing options. Nemo Active Testing Application (NATA), the optional Keysight proprietary communications interface, enables simple and productive deployment of smartphones, also non-rooted commercial phones, in data benchmarking and voice quality measurements. With a test terminal and/or a scanner you can perform real-time DSS measurements, missing neighbor detection, pilot pollution analysis, and GSM interference analysis. In addition, with the advanced mobile band scan feature, Nemo Outdoor continuously scans for pilot channels from specified bands and automatically adds them for pilot scanning.


Ensuring wireless network quality for end-users

Nemo Outdoor enables to measure quality-of-experience (QoE) metrics for the services and applications your customers are using, including advanced application test automation capabilities. With the optional NATA functionality, the smartphone measurement results reflect the real end-user experience. This gives customers the capability to understand wireless network quality from end consumer perspective, troubleshoot and optimize the network based on the results, ultimately improving customer satisfaction and reducing churn.


Nemo Outdoor for real 5G NR field measurements

Nemo Outdoor offers the widest range of 5G NR KPIs on the market and support for both 5G NR standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) mode, 5G NR forcing features and for 5G NR carrier aggregation testing. Nemo Outdoor supports real 5G NR field measurements with Qualcomm (X35 RedCap, X50, X55, X60, X65, X70, X75), Samsung Exynos (5100, 5123, 5123A, 5123B, 5133, 5153, 5300), HiSilicon Balong 5000, and MediaTek (M60 RedCap, M70, M80) modem-based devices and 3rd party scanning receivers. The collected metrics include cell measurements, physical channel information, current cell information (for each 5G subcarrier), extensive set of RACH parameters, MAC layer KPIs, RLC/PDCP KPIs, and link adaptation (for each 5G subcarrier) KPIs. In addition, Nemo Outdoor collects 5G QoS measurements including throughputs from different layers and latency.

With scanning receivers, Nemo Outdoor can be used to perform 5G NR drive test measurements with the demodulation of the 5G NR reference signals and it enables simultaneous 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G NR spectrum scan and frequency scan (CW) measurements. Coverage and quality metrics, namely SS-RSRP, SS-RSRQ, SS-CINR, and RSSI, are reported per each SSB reference beam of a cell.
