The user can select any group of information elements and display their values on the message summary view, eliminating the need to check message details one-by-one.

UNIQUE USER INTERFACE

Reliable and Robust Event Detection Because of the easy access to IEs in the over-the-air signaling messages, 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 configure 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. The algorithms can then be shared with peers or standardized across the organization.
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 mechanism 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 and summary reports can be automatically delivered via e-mail notification to select groups of recipients.

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 measurement data sources, including scanned data and test mobile data, can be imported and synchronized via a pre-defined format or a user-defined configuration file.

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.
