Zuchwil, June 25, 2014 – SwissQual – a Rohde & Schwarz Company – introduces its third generation multichannel backpack system within the QualiPoc Freerider product family. SwissQual’s smart-phone based, portable, and future-proof Freerider concept has been the preferred choice among top-tier mobile network operators, service companies, and regulatory bodies around the world. Upgrading the proven and well-established Freerider concept with the Rohde & Schwarz multi-technology, multi-band R&S©TSME Scanner, SwissQual underpins its status as market driver setting unparalled standards for portable multichannel mobile network testing products.

New user friendly Campaign Management
SwissQual’s QualiPoc platform is well known for its reliability and performance, and its ease-of-use and flexibility. With the new Campaign Management feature, SwissQual introduces a standardized and structured approach to configure measurements more efficiently. This not only simplifies and shortens the test campaign configuration process dramatically; it also reduces the likelihood of misconfiguration to almost zero.

A ruggedized, reliable, and powerful hardware concept
SwissQual’s Freerider III has been engineered to meet network operator’s and service provider’s inevitably increasing needs to benchmark mobile network capacity and optimize quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE) from an end-user perspective, especially in indoor areas. The custom made backpack, including a robust core element that holds up to 6 Android smartphones and 4 hot swappable batteries, weighs fully equipped with the RF scanner less than 9 kg. An active cooling system featuring 2 integrated fans ensures a reliable and uninterrupted data collection for up to 8 hours.
