QoS Explorer: Dynamic, On-the-Move Network Testing for Real-World Insights
In telecom, you can’t judge network quality from a desk. Real users don’t stay still — they move through cities, travel between regions, and cross coverage boundaries every day. That’s why lab results, while useful, can’t fully predict the actual customer experience.
QoS Explorer from Azurreo is built for dynamic mobile network testing. By loading professional-grade test equipment, local SIMs, and analysis tools into a vehicle or mobile unit, our teams can measure network performance exactly where subscribers use it — on the move.
Why Dynamic Drive Testing Matters?
Stationary testing can miss the most common causes of user frustration: call drops while traveling, streaming interruptions on public transport, or data slowdowns when moving between cell towers.
Dynamic drive testing solves this by:
Measuring performance across multiple coverage zones in a single session
Capturing real-world mobility events like handovers, roaming transitions, and cell reselection
Identifying geographic “dead zones” and congestion hotspots
Comparing competitor networks under identical movement patterns
How QoS Explorer Works in the Field?
Test Setup – Our engineers equip a vehicle with test devices, RF scanners, GPS trackers, and preloaded SIM cards from target networks.
Route Planning – Routes are mapped to cover city centers, suburbs, rural roads, and key transport corridors.
Live Testing – While in motion, devices continuously generate calls, data sessions, and application usage to mimic real customer behavior.
Monitoring & Analysis – Data is monitored in real time from inside the vehicle or remotely from our control center.
Reporting & Insights – Results are compiled into actionable coverage maps, KPI dashboards, and performance comparisons.
KPIs Measured by QoS Explorer
Call Setup Success Rate (CSSR)
Call Drop Rate (CDR)
Handover Success Rate
Data Throughput (Download/Upload)
Latency and Jitter
Video Streaming Quality (MOS, buffering events)
App-specific Performance (e.g., OTT messaging, browsing)
Benefits for Operators, Vendors, and Regulators
1. True-to-Life Results
Testing in live mobility conditions reveals performance gaps that static testing can’t show.
2. Competitive Benchmarking
Compare your network against others in the same environment, on the same route, under identical conditions.
3. Rapid Problem Identification
Pinpoint specific roads, neighborhoods, or regions where KPIs consistently drop.
4. Efficient Investment Planning
Target upgrades where they’ll have the most real-world impact.
Integrating with Azurreo’s Other Services
QoS Explorer works seamlessly with:
Global SIM Procurement — ensuring we have the right local SIMs for the target networks before the test
Test Equipment Logistics — delivering calibrated, configured devices to the test location
Global Hosting — securely storing and processing collected data for rapid analysis
Typical Use Cases
Pre-Launch Coverage Audits – Validate readiness before announcing network expansions.
Post-Upgrade Validation – Confirm that new towers or capacity improvements deliver promised results.
Roaming Experience Verification – Test roaming quality for inbound and outbound travelers.
Regulatory Compliance Checks – Provide documented proof of service quality for licensing.
Why Choose Azurreo’s QoS Explorer?
Our engineers have conducted dynamic mobile network testing on five continents, in environments ranging from dense megacities to remote desert highways. We understand the unique challenges of dynamic testing — from securing the right local SIMs to dealing with challenging terrain and weather.
With QoS Explorer, you don’t just get a test log — you get a complete performance story told from the perspective of a moving subscriber.
Take Your Network Testing on the Road
When accuracy matters, the only way to know your network’s true performance is to experience it like your customers do in motion.
