- Page 2 Support for Your Ways of Working TEMS Discovery is available in two separate packages to fulfill your needs: the Standard package which is available in conjunction with TEMS ™ Investigation, and the stand-alone TEMS Discovery Professional version. From TEMS Discovery Professional, users can interact with all data used for optimizing a wireless network, such as: ▪ Measurement data ▪ Network configuration data, including neighbor list data and an unlimited number of parameters ▪ Antenna pattern data ▪ Geographical data, such as vector data, terrain elevation data, and aerial images ▪ Integrated Google Maps or Microsoft Bing Maps ™ ® ™ ▪ Online GIS data downloading ▪ Support of drive test data from other Ascom Network Testing products such as TEMS Investigation and QVoice Companion as well as from Anite’s Nemo product...
- Page 3 TEMS™ DISCOVERY 2.1 Rich Data Display Satellite maps (Google Maps or Microsoft Bing Maps) are fully inte- grated and synchronized with other presentation windows in TEMS Discovery Professional. Data is presented in map views, summary message views, detailed message views, time charts, table views, metric correlation views, histograms, reports, and drill-down point detail views. All views in TEMS Discovery are managed with tabs. Layouts can be saved and restored. Different projects can be opened simultaneously. All time-sensitive views can be seamlessly synchronized. Users are able to view multiple dimensions of data at any point of interest with great ease, and automatic data playback is supported. Menu items and toolbars are placed only in the relevant views to maximize effective screen space. Many tasks can be done with a single click. Full Access to Information Elements TEMS Discovery supports comprehensive message decoding, giving the user full access to information elements. Extracting the value of a key in- formation element (IE) from over-the-air Layer 3 signaling messages is as simple as clicking the desired IE on the built-in IE explorer. The user can select any group of information elements and display their values on the ...
- Page 4 TEMS™ DISCOVERY 2.1 UNIQUE USER INTERFACE Reliable and Robust Event Detection Because of the easy access to IEs in the over-the-air signaling mes- sages, TEMS Discovery Professional provides hundreds of highly reliable and robust sets of call-related events, as well as critical RF problem alerts. The events and alerts can also be further categorized and grouped according to certain user-defined attributes. Moreover, all of the events generated by TEMS Investigation or other data collecting tools are also made available for all display and report views. Highly User-Configurable With TEMS Discovery Professional, the user has the flexibility to con- figure a wide range of items, from simple view layouts to sophisticated report templates and user-defined Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). One reason for this flexibility is that all information elements in TEMS Discovery Professional are readily available to users. The Script Builder application allows users to easily define their own events or alerts, or derive custom metrics (such as event counters, time delay, or composite metrics) based on these decoded information elements. ...
- Page 5 TEMS™ DISCOVERY 2.1 Users can easily embed their preferences and knowledge of best practices into TEMS Discovery Professional by defining parameters, displays, and templates. The experience of optimization experts, advanced users, and senior engineers can be captured within TEMS Discovery Professional and shared as standard across the organization. Powerful Data Filtering and Binning Data can be filtered by criteria including problem sets, geographical location, data collection date, data processing date, network sector groups, and user-defined metric-based conditions. Data binning options include time, linear distance, and grid size. Heterogeneous binning is easy to achieve, even across different regions. Flexible Report Generation TEMS Discovery Professional incorporates a powerful reporting mech- anism that allows the user to customize and generate a variety of different Microsoft Excel-based report templates. Users can easily set up real time ® monitoring, or schedule automatic processing of measurement data. Results ...
- Page 6 TEMS™ DISCOVERY 2.1 FLEXIBLE AND POWERFUL Unique Troubleshooting Features TEMS Discovery Professional lets users troubleshoot rapidly with several powerful features: ▪ Rich troubleshooting and analysis sets ▪ Rapid filtering by user-defined problem set ▪ Missing Neighbor Alerts ▪ Various critical RF condition alerts ▪ Graphical audit/editing of neighbors Easy Import of Needed Input Network configuration data, parameters, and neighbor list data can be easily imported into TEMS Discovery Professional. All parameters can be displayed with color codes or labels, and it is possible to group or search by one or multiple parameters. There are also several creative ways to associate a drive test data point to serving sectors and neighbors. Multiple measure- ment data sources, including scanned data and test mobile data, can be imported and synchronized via a pre-defined format or a user-defined con- figuration file.
- Page 7 TEMS™ DISCOVERY 2.1 Sophisticated Data Organization and Management All processed data is saved in an efficient file structure. Data can be instantly accessed, reorganized (in terms of such attributes as mobile ID and functional labels), and re-combined to create an unlimited number of composite data sets. Data can be easily archived and restored with its structure intact. All data collected during different phases of the network life cycle can be incrementally merged. Meanwhile, each of the raw test files only needs to be processed once. Efficient Data Sharing The processed data can be easily shared by multiple users across the organization, avoiding duplication of work and improving productivity. Extensive GIS Support TEMS Discovery fully integrates Google Maps. In addition, it supports over 100 different GIS file formats for terrain elevation data, raster image data, and vector files. Users can download free high-resolution aerial images and terrain elevation data directly from the US Geological Service and several GIS servers worldwide through TEMS Discovery Professional. ...
- Page 8 www.ascom.com/tems High Speed Data Processing Through sophisticated memory and file management, TEMS Discovery Professional can quickly process large volumes of data. For even faster data processing, a multi-computer distributed processing farm can easily be set up. Extensive Output Capability All metrics can be exported to a variety of output files, including text files, MapInfo Mif/mid files, Google Earth KML files, Adobe PDF files, Microsoft Excel files, and image files (such as GeoTiff, tiff, bmp, gif, png, jpg, and wmf).
