Tempo launches versatile AirScout Mobility wireless performance test platform

May 19, 2021

The flexible AirScout Mobility platform from Tempo Communications validates wireless performance of 5G, LTE, Wi-Fi, TETRA, P25, and other networks "much faster and at a fraction of the cost of other drive test solutions," claims the company.

The flexible AirScout Mobility Solutions Wireless Performance Tester platform can be used for both outdoor drive testing, as well as in-building networks.

Tempo Communications on May 18 announced the launch of its AirScout Mobility Solutions Wireless Performance Tester platform for validation of 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, TETRA, P25, and other technologies.

The company says the flexible platform can be used for both outdoor drive testing, as well as in-building networks. It is designed for network technicians and RF engineers who need to perform network optimization and report performance metrics.

As reckoned by Tempo:

AirScout Mobility conveniently and seamlessly tackles three challenges facing the today’s tower technician: current solutions offer hardware locked solutions, require extensive training, and comprise an expensive upgrade path for new phones or technologies. The latest mobility-oriented offerings from Tempo build on the AirScout portfolio, which has already gained a reputation for reliable speed testing for Wi-Fi and Ethernet applications.

AirScout Mobility utilizes an innovative cloud-based licensing and app configuration to deliver a testing cellular solution that goes beyond others on the market in terms of flexibility, performance, scalability, and ease of use. With Tempo’s AirScout Mobility, users receive a “floating” license which allows it to be used on any Android-based phone, as long as the app is loaded.

Cloud-based licensing also makes remote control functionality possible. As a result, the test can be performed by any network optimization engineer remotely, while the local technicians perform the walkthrough. Additionally, upgrade paths are controlled through app updates via the cloud with no cost to the user. This essentially means that all future phone firmware updates as well as technology updates (e.g., 4G to 5G) will be supported at no cost to the user.

"AirScout Mobility offers exclusive advantages over any other performance tester in the market," contends Roger Paje, vice president of wireless solutions with Tempo Communications. "It has the industry's simplest hardware, the industry's most cost-effective and flexible cloud-based licensing plan, and the industry's only remote-control drive test features. The bottom line is it makes performance testing easier, faster and more cost effective than any other solution available today.”
