RF monitoring on Apple's iPhone
October 2009
News
SwissQual, the independent Swiss network quality measurement company supported locally by Concilium Technologies, has announced a new handheld RF monitoring application based on the Apple iPhone. The QualiPoc iQ offers a range of RF monitoring functions such as idle testing of signal levels and Rx Qual together with FTP downlink and uplink tests.
“The large, bright, screen of the Apple iPhone, together with touch screen functionality, allows the native QualiPoc iQ application to offer a wide range of graphical reports. Users can easily navigate between dedicated views and charts, using iPhone functions such as ‘screen flip’ and zoom making the device one of the most modern and easy to use on the market,” says Steve Alves, managing director, Concilium Technologies.
David Gonzalez, SwissQual QualiPoc iQ product manager says, “The iPhone has become very popular around the world and has, in particular, helped to invigorate the use of mobile Internet. In some markets the iPhone ‘effect’ has been credited with generating more than two thirds of the mobile Internet traffic. Although this is still a small percentage of the overall Internet traffic at around 0,75%, it is rising fast.
Salvatore Piazzolla, head of SwissQual product management says, “The QualiPoc iQ is an ideal addition to every RF engineer’s toolkit. It gives him a quick and clear way to monitor and troubleshoot RF issues. With competitive pricing we aim to make it a default part of every radio engineer’s toolkit.”
QualiPoc iQ is the latest addition to SwissQual’s QualiPoc range which includes handheld test solutions based on Symbian handsets together with fixed network quality monitoring units and vehicle based multi-channel systems.
