Drive test - trouble-shooting - in my opinion TEMS, Nemo & Romes are very good.
For reporting/benchmark - Swissqual and Q-Voice.
Tools to avoid: Probe & XCAP
Again, this is my opinion.

My opinion is Nemo Outdoor as DT tool and Nemo Invex as benchmark.
Remember that after you need post-processing tool and Nemo Analizer or Actix are very good.

Best Regards.

My vote is for Nemo Outdoor in DT....easy to use and easy to post precessing...

[dmitry28]

We use Couei and Agilent. Post processing - Actix

[anishjosie]

have used TEMS agilent and ROMES.
ROMES is costly but versatile.NPA is a good post processoer
TEMS is popular, Nemo is simple

[bssmsm]

Do you have some lic for ROMES?

TEMS or Nemo is good. You should carefully check somethings:
- price of and connectable devices. may some retail devices and existing UEs will be used.
- # of connectable devices
- software features (LTE, HSPA, etc). voice test/data test/MOS test.
- price of the software
- post processing tool
- update policy (version update/# of devices/renewal support, etc)

Romes doesn't work like that, not as simple as TEMS/Nemo, etc. Some licences are on the hardware directly so you kind of need to get your company to buy it for you - very expensive but very good.

[ventinel]

i would also recommend TEMS or NEMO

[lihanbok]

All of them are good, because they have world's standard. Up to you and your company, specialy operator request.

Hi all,
There is no a free tool who can open drive test logfiles or convert them into texte format .txt or csv ??

thx

[mimoX]

all time favorite - Tems. others which i find good are Nemo, couei, agilent, romes

[AlexSSS]

I think TEMS is the best. Nemo is good to, and it has open log files format, as for me is a plus.
Agilent sometimes very unstable, so you can get unexpected crush sometimes, its a big minus, but Agilent has not bad RF scanner, is a plus.

Hi,
I vote for Tems.
- you can use it for scanning, MOS, ...
- some Tems devices can connect to 1 laptop at the same time.
- cheaper

[AlexSSS]

Its a strange, because as far as I know Nemo or Agilent or X-CAL at the same configuration (i mean same devices, options, etc...) cheaper then TEMS...
But, maybe it depends of company or country or other factors...

Hi,
I vote for Tems.
....
- cheaper

[mimoX]

when you talking about the cost, yes, tems is pricey if compared with others.

[usama0795]

Actix for Post Processing definitely....for Drive Testing doesnt matter since all of them give u the same things.....

[liana]

For Lte & Wimax testing, i guess xcal xcap is leading the market..

[Jerry]

i vote for atoll, tems and actix.

[slipargolok]

if your Dt got good troubleshooting skil..go to tems..if for beginner, better go to nemo..all tools got pro n cons..just ask your dt team what they prefer...what project currently you doing? verdor, operator or subcon?

[dimooon11]

For Lte & Wimax testing, i guess xcal xcap is leading the market..

XCAL - quite good, XCAP - bad, oh baad...

Hi sasouki,

In case you succeeded to extract (free) the Top1 to TopX data info from the drive test log files then I propose you another free tool (Agileto) on the market which is performing Analisis & Optimisation. Just google on "Agileto"... or simply go to their Agileto GOLD EDITION web page:
