Nemo Active Probe

Cost-effective 5G network monitoring probe for high-volume deployments

Are you satisfied with how much testing networks is costing your company? Is there a need to increase automation in your network testing processes?

As the number of 5G network rollouts has increased drastically, wireless service providers must perform continuous 24/7 remote monitoring of the network to secure services in key locations, ensure good customer experience across a range of environments, and perform proactive quality of experience (QoE) monitoring to identify issues before end-customers do.

Keysight´s Nemo Active Probe is an autonomous field unit for unattended, remote-controlled measurements. Ideal for performing automated, large-scale measurements, Nemo Active Probe can be deployed discreetly in vehicles and fixed locations, such as airports, offices, campuses, and shopping malls as well as in moving vehicles, such as trains, taxis, delivery trucks, and ships.

Fully automated 5G network measurement solution

24/7 cloud-based testing enables operators and network providers to secure a continuous quality of service while reducing costs. Keysight combines Nemo probes with Nemo Cloud and Nemo Analyze to provide an end-to-end solution to remotely monitor live networks and visualize key performance indicators in real time. High test frequency ensures constant visibility into the network quality of service and helps solve potential issues before those become visible to the end users. 

The solution lets you focus on the problem spots rather than on collecting information, enabling a completely automated data-processing chain from the field to an open workbook with analysis results. A single user can monitor and control in real time numerous fixed and mobile field units from a centralized location, enabling immediate response to alerts and errors. Automation enables remotecontrolled measurements without the need for a supervising drive test engineer in the field. Time spent on network testing is reduced by 20% and time spent on manual field-testing work by 80% - directly streamlining OPEX.

Future-proof and operationally reliable equipment

Nemo Active Probe is available as a one-handset version equipped with Nemo measurement software and uplink access with continuous data connectivity to a remote server. Effective thermal control with a fan and active cooling element ensures that your 5G test devices do not overheat and remain functional during long-lasting test campaigns.

The deployed Nemo Active Probe units can be upgraded with the latest Nemo measurement terminals ensuring flexible and future-proof autonomous testing of the latest technologies. Nemo Active Probe supports all major technologies and the latest Android-based smartphones. Service measurements for data and voice are also supported, including voice call and voice quality testing with POLQA v2 and v3, and social media testing with apps. The supported network and service testing capabilities are determined by the Nemo measurement terminals used with the Nemo Active Probe.
