Drive Test

End-to-End Coverage, Quality of Service & Network Performance Validation

Drive testing is a field-based method used to measure the real coverage, capacity, and quality of service (QoS) delivered by mobile networks. Our drive-test framework evaluates live RF performance under actual mobility conditions, ensuring that call quality, data experience, handovers, and network behaviour align with operational expectations. By analysing the network in real environments, we help operators identify gaps, optimise performance, validate configurations, and ensure reliable user experience across service areas.

What We Offer

A structured mobility-based evaluation environment designed to validate live network experience, coverage strength, quality parameters, and mobility events.

Coverage, Quality & RF Parameter Assessment

Measurement of RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, RSSI, Ec/Io, PCI/PSC, EARFCN/UARFCN, and cell dominance across routes to identify weak coverage zones, overshoot, interference, and sector performance.

Voice, Data & Mobility Event Testing

Validation of call setup, short/long call performance, call drops, blocked calls, SRVCC, handover success rates, data throughput, latency, and application-level user experience on live networks.

Device & Network Configuration Verification

Assessment of cell selection/reselection, neighbour relations, network settings, and device-triggered engineering measurements using chipset-level parameters.

Ensuring Accurate Network Performance Validation

Our drive-test methodology replicates real user movement to analyse how the network behaves under dynamic scenarios. This includes measuring coverage fluctuations, mobility transitions, voice quality, data performance, and service continuity across varied terrains. Tests also assess recovery from OOS, network responsiveness, session stability, and comparative performance during route variations. Comprehensive logs and KPIs enable pattern identification, troubleshooting, benchmarking, and optimisation decisions. All analysed statistics and measurement outputs are shared directly with the client.

Our Expertise

A holistic mobility evaluation framework built to enhance QoE and ensure network readiness.

SCFT (Single Cell Functionality Test)

Static evaluation of each sector’s coverage and quality parameters to verify site readiness and identify configuration or neighbour-related issues.

Dynamic Drive Test

Route-based testing capturing mobile network behaviour during movement, including coverage quality, call stability, voice/data KPIs, and mobility events such as intra/inter-frequency handovers.

MSV (Multiple Site Verification)

Multi-site assessment to measure network strength, sector boundaries, service continuity, and cross-site interactions in real environments.

Network KPI Analysis & Field Diagnostics

Troubleshooting of signal intensity, quality, interference, call statistics, QoS indicators, handover patterns, neighbouring cell behaviour, and data speed performance with GPS-based geo-referencing.
