- Adeunis, the French specialist in IoT sensors, announces the launch of the Field Test Device (FTD) network tester dedicated to cellular communication technologies based on NB-IoT and LTE-M standards.
- Already available in a LoRaWAN version, this tester has been enhanced to analyze the quality of NB-IoT and LTE-M cellular networks and support the deployment of IoT projects. It is designed for companies wishing to optimize the radio coverage of their IoT solutions.
- The new version of the FTD tester is combined with a mobile application dedicated to setting test parameters and analyzing results.
“Analyzing network quality is essential to guarantee the feasibility and success of IoT projects, validating deployment options and the realization of the use cases envisaged. Featuring an intuitive interface, FTD enables the required analyses and detailed diagnostics to validate every aspect of the project. This instrument is indispensable in the complex environment of multi-operator cellular networks”, explains Jean-Luc Baudouin, Adeunis Webdyn Managing Director.
The Field Test Device (FTD) enables real-time testing and analysis of the quality and coverage of all NB-IoT and LTE-M cellular IoT networks present on a site, thanks in particular to measurements of indicators such as RSRP, RSRQ or SNR. This makes it possible to evaluate the performance of different operators’ networks worldwide.
Parameter setting and results analysis
This network tester is coupled with a dedicated mobile app, available on Android and iOS, which lets you configure network tests, view results in real time and export them. The app also lets you geolocate each test point on a map or building plan, to get a detailed view of network quality indicators at different locations.
The application also features radiomapping functionality, with visualization of the data collected and the ability to export and share the reports generated. This feature offers the ability to geolocate and contextualize network tests, with coverage mapping on Google Maps or building plans, with comments and photos added for each test point, and automatic generation of an analysis report.
The FTD is compatible with all single- and multi-operator nano-SIM cards. This means it can be used anywhere in the world.
