SiGNALS Research Group – During the week of February 8th we conducted what is arguably the most scientific and exhaustive independent performance analysis ever conducted of an LTE network(s).
SiGNALS Research Group – During the week of February 8th we conducted what is arguably the most scientific and exhaustive independent performance analysis ever conducted of an LTE network(s). During our tests, which were almost entirely conducted in vehicular or pedestrian mode, we transferred nearly 186GB of data, or nearly twenty-five times more data usage than what a typical fixed broadband user consumes in an entire month.
As part of this research project we had the opportunity to use XCAL LTE drive test tool and XCAP LTE post-processing tool from Accuver. To the best of our knowledge the XCAL/XCAP solution was the only solution available at the time which could interface with the Samsung and LG LTE solutions, not to mention other vendor’s HSPA+ or Mobile WiMAX chipsets, and this capability proved invaluable during this entire effort.
