Drive Testing Solutions for Rent or Hire
At Livingston, we pride ourselves on being one of the worlds leading suppliers of drive test solutions for rent, lease or hire. With €2m of inventory to support this important business, we are able to provide the tools that you need to get your drive testing project completed in a way that minimises your equipment ownership costs.
The performance of a mobile network is a key issue, particularly for network operators and infrastructure manufacturers.
Performance measurements are mostly undertaken using drive test solutions that consist of drive test software, scanning receivers and either specially configured mobiles or datacards as appropriate for the mobile standard to be measured. Results are evaluated and reported using the drive test software.
Engineers and experts are then able to interpret the results either directly from the drive test system or using advanced analysis tools.
Many of these tools are available through Livingston for rent or hire, so select the area that you are interested in to see what equipment we have available, or call us to talk to a sales engineer who will be able to help you with your testing needs.
Drive Testing for 2G Networks
Drive test software solutions for GSM, EDGE, GPRS and CDMA networks.
Whilst there is a natural focus on new technologies and equipment, for voice applications the existing 2G infrastructure is still very important, and extensive. These networks still require maintenance, refurbishment and optimization to ensure quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE) on legacy GSM and CDMA networks.
A selection of 2G drive testing tools available for rent or hire are listed below. If you do not find what you are looking for then please contact our sales engineers, who will be very happy to help you either by telephone on +44 (0) 208 614 4055, by email or complete the form below.

Drive Testing for 3G Networks
Drive test software solutions for W-CDMA,HSDPA, HSPA and HSPA+ networks
With much of the current focus aimed at new technologies and equipment to support LTE, for may users, and operators, the existing 3G infrastructure is still very important, and extensive. These networks still require maintenance, refurbishment and optimization to ensure quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE) especially with the continued popularity of the smartphone and tablet based computing. Drive testing of these 3G UMTS networks remains an essential activity to help operators maximise their returns from their considerable investment in this spectrum and associate infrastructure.

Drive Testing for 4G Networks
Drive test software solutions for LTE and WiMAX networks
The LTE specification provides downlink peak rates of 300 Mbit/s, uplink peak rates of 75 Mbit/s and QoS provisions permitting a transfer latency of less than 5 ms in the radio access network. LTE has the ability to manage fast-moving mobiles and supports multi-cast and broadcast streams, whilst operating in a number (currently 44) of frequency bands around the world and employing both frequency division duplexing (FDD) and time-division duplexing (TDD).
It is essential that these networks are well planned and optimized to allow operators to maximize their returns on investment (ROI). Likewise for installers and contractors, the ability to rent the right LTE drive test solutions for each project enables them to affordably work on any requirement that comes their way.

2G Scanners
Scanners for GSM, EDGE, GPRS and CDMA networks
2G (GSM, EDGE, GPRS and CDMA) drive testing with scanning receivers gives wireless operators direct, accurate knowledge of the real-world RF propagation characteristics of their network whilst effective benchmarking requires solutions that include scanning receivers capable of simultaneously measuring a wide variety of bands and protocols without loss of performance.
Signal interference from a variety of sources commonly disrupts wireless networks, resulting in poor coverage and dropped calls Scanning receivers often incorporate additional tools such as spectrum analysis to help identify and tackle interference.

Benchmarking
The need for benchmarking mobile networks is driven by both customer expectation and regulatory compliance:
Operators and service providers need to have confidence that they are providing their customers with expected QoS (Quality of Service) levels especially in relation to their competitors. Thanks to increasing social intelligence, consumers soon develop views as to which network provides them with the experience that they expect. And as usage increases, our tolerance for dropped calls and poor data rates reduces. This quality of experience (QoE) becomes an important KPI for customer satisfaction.
Regulatory authorities need benchmarking to ensure that operators are delivering to minimum agreed service levels for the population.

Indoor Testing
With over 60% of mobile use taking place indoors, it is important that these indoor networks are optimised to cope with a high density of subscribers. Likewise service providers, mobile operators and regulatory bodies need to be able to test, optimize, benchmark and troubleshoot a variety of wireless technologies including GSM / GPRS, EDGE, W-CDMA, HSPA, HSPA+, CDMA, Wi-Fi, and LTE.
Indoor testing presents some challenges in that it requires a portable power source, invariably there is a lack of GPS signal as well as accessibility and security issues.
