TEMS™ Pocket

Personal air interface test tool for WCDMA and GSM

 Use GPS to position your measurements with latitude/
longitude, altitude, and speed to ensure full use of data
collected with TEMS Pocket.

• Measures EGPRS and WCDMA data perfor-

mance
• Provides cell control options including locking
on RAT, locking on cell, channel and band, and
modifying cell barred behavior
• Supports FTP for network troubleshooting and
logfile transfer
• Automates call handling, logfile recording, and
transfer to server via FTP
• Allows data collection in places that are hard to
reach with traditional drive-test tools and methods
• Offers powerful functionality and ease-of-use in an
extremely convenient size

Logfile recording
TEMS Pocket can store logfiles in the internal phone
memory or on a memory card. Sony Ericsson mo-
biles support Memory Stick Duo or Memory Stick
Micro cards and Nokia mobiles support miniSD cards
