comprehensive radio interface data recorded with Nemo Handy is optimal for network
planning, roll-out, tuning, verification, optimization, and maintenance. The application
performance metrics are vital in mobile service benchmarking and quality of service and
quality of experience evaluation. Continuous recording of radio interface metrics ensures
that the causes for less than satisfactory service quality can always be found.
Nemo Handy can be used either as a regular phone with the application logging in the
background, or as an active measurement tool with real-time data. Nemo Handy’s small
size and extensive measurement capabilities make it the ideal tool for performing indoor
and outdoor measurements. Nemo Handy logs and displays geographical coordinates
using the mobile’s internal GPS receiver.
All network parameters supported by the terminal’s mobile trace interface, including
signaling messages, are logged and made available for playback with Nemo Outdoor,
Nemo Analyze, Nemo WindCatcher, or third-party post-processing tools.
The 5G NR support in Nemo Handy enables operators and network vendors to test the
advanced features and performance of 5G NR networks in busy and crowded indoor
spaces. Currently, Nemo Handy supports 5G NR measurements with Qualcomm X50/
X55 and Samsung Shannon chipset-based devices (pending device availability). The
collected metrics include RACH information, TX power, rank (MIMO mode), modulation,
MAC throughput and BLER, signal strength, and quality metrics of the SSB beams. In
addition, Nemo Handy collects QoS measurements including throughput and latency.
Nemo Handy supports 5G NR scanner measurements using PCTEL IBflex and PCTEL
HBflex scanner devices. The collected metrics are NR-ARFCN, physical cell identity, and

which work order to perform at a chosen time.
Perform site acceptance and verification testing in the field in a very smooth, cost-
effective and user-friendly manner. Load site information to Nemo Cloud and view the
sites on a map with detailed site information. The imported sites can be selected and
assigned to a measurement project. Acceptance tests for selected sites are generated
automatically by Nemo Cloud. In addition, a Nemo Cloud user can pre-define pass/fail
acceptance criteria during a measurement project configuration. When a Nemo Cloud
user has finished configuring a measurement project and has published the project, the
Nemo Handy device in the field receives a testing guide for selected sites. A field user
selects the site to be tested from the map view in Nemo Handy. Next, by selecting a
sector to be tested, Nemo Handy guides the field user to the right testing location. Once
a field user is in the right spot, he/she begins pre-defined site testing. The field user
can have instant feedback based on a Nemo Cloud user’s defined pass/fail criterion.
In addition, a Nemo Cloud user can have the same feedback in real-time with the
comprehensive set of reported KPIs in Nemo Cloud´s Monitoring view. Separate Nemo
Handy Site Acceptance license option is needed for this edition.
Build and accept new sites faster and easier with Nemo Handy´s single site verification
option. You can configure the needed tests and acceptance criteria, after which Nemo

During the automated testing mode, the data views are visible, but you cannot
control the measurement or use forcing features. Log files can be automatically
sent to an FTP or HTTPS server. In automatic mode, Nemo Handy can also be
remotely controlled with SMS messages to start and stop measurements and to
send the log files to the server.
IP packet capturing
Application level data can be captured with Nemo Handy. The data is collected
in a separate log file in .pcap format. Pcap files can be processed with Nemo
Outdoor, Keysight’s Nemo post-processing tools, or Wireshark. By default, full IP
capture, including IP and all the layers above, is logged. Pcap log files can be very
large if no filtering is applied. Therefore, it is practical to apply filtering to capture
only the protocol layers of interest. Capture filter rules are defined in the standard
Wireshark filter format.
Nemo Handy provides indoor map support with an easy-to-use interface that
includes zoom and pan tools. Digital images can be imported to Nemo Handy and
converted into map files (.tab), or you can take a picture of a floorplan with the
phone’s camera to be used in Nemo Handy as an indoor map. The iBwave map
format is also supported.
The scale of the map can be set based on a known distance on the map and
the geodetic coordinates of the map can be set based on two known coordinate
positions. Nemo Handy also enables geocoding indoor floorplans on top of
Google Maps. You can modify existing floorplans that are not geocoded directly
from the Nemo Handy interface. The measurement route can be drawn on the
map with markers or by using the GPS information.
In Nemo Handy, there are two ways to track the location of the Nemo Handy unit
indoors and place waypoints, i.e. markers, automatically. With the automated
location mapping feature, a tracking module is used to position the Nemo Handy
unit and the measurement route is is automatically displayed on the device´s
screen. The automatic indoor positioning feature enables placing markers
automatically by utilizing camera and other sensors on the terminal to get the
speed and position indoors when GPS is not available. The faults in the network
can be pinpointed accurately, ensuring reliable analysis of the results and allowing
you to concentrate on the actual troubleshooting instead of on adding markers on
the map while walking.
Nemo Handy enables the exchange of project information directly between the
iBwave Planner and Nemo Handy. The iBwave Planner and Nemo Handy both
run on the same device using the IBWC file as a common medium. This allows
you to create a floor plan in the iBwave Planner, switch to Nemo Handy for the
measurements, and switch back to the iBwave Planner to create a preliminary
design.
When indoor antenna sites are built, you have the possibility to create the antenna
files with Nemo Handy´s BTS Editor. Optionally, serving cell or existing cell/
antenna information can be used when antennas are added. Also macro network
sites can be added. Testing of indoor antennas is crucial after the installation
to make sure that all antennas are transmitting properly and with correct signal
strenght. Analysis of RF ingress shows how much the macro network is causing
interference inside the building.
Nemo Handy provides map support with an easy-to-use interface that includes
zoom and pan tools. See the measured route with color-coded parameter values
in real-time on a live map and observe network parameter values on the map.
Outdoor route coloring is based on the selected parameter’s values, and user-
defined or pre-defined limits and color sets.
With Nemo Handy you can view the base transceiver station (BTS) icons on a
map. While performing measurements, the BTS that the measurement device is
connected to is highlighted with a user-defined color. Furthermore, notification
icons can be viewed on the route.
Forcing features
Nemo Handy supports band locking, LTE cell locking, system locking, scrambling
code locking, carrier locking (GERAN, UTRAN, EUTRAN), and Adaptive Multi-Rate
(AMR) audio codec activation. The locks are terminal-specific.
Notifications
Nemo Handy offers a set of audio notifications, notification icons, and pop-up
messages that can notify you of important measurement events. Customize the
notifications to suit your measurement requirements. Other notification features
include individual notification activation/deactivation through the Nemo Handy user
interface and the notification history view screen.
Scripts
Expand your measurement capability with Nemo Handy by using script files to
run measurements. When a script is used, Nemo Handy makes voice and video
calls, and FTP(S) and HTTP(S) data transfers automatically. You can use scripts
to automatically test HTML browsing, SMS messages, email send or receive,
external applications, and ping. Create conditional, system-triggered scripts with
indefinite wait periods that end when a specific system becomes active or when
triggers initiate a voice call. With nested scripts (scripts inside scripts) you can run
complex automated measurements combining several scripts. Create and edit
Playback
After a measurement ends, view measurement files immediately, or at a later time,
easily with Nemo Handy’s Playback feature. All data views are available for use in
playback.
When the memory card is full, the log file recording feature automatically stops
and no more data can be recorded. After logging has stopped, you can save the
file with the default name, save the file with a new name, or delete the file. You can
also upload the log file to an FTP server directly from Nemo Handy. The optional
idle logging function enables logging outside actual measurement sessions.
After your measurement session, instantly produce a report in PDF format. View
it on your measurement device or send it via email to your office or client. Upload
the report to any remote server along with the measurement files for archive
purposes or for more detailed analysis.
Nemo Handy supports Nemo Cloud. Nemo Cloud connects Nemo products,
measurement and analysis processes, and data feeds into one end-to-end solution,
enabling streamlined operations and improved responsiveness of measurement projects
in the field. The measurement data files from Nemo Handy can be automatically
synchronized with Nemo Cloud either during or after measurement sessions. The
automatic data flow between Nemo Handy and Nemo Cloud makes receiving,
monitoring, and analyzing data in near real time both easy and efficient.
Nemo Post-Processing
Nemo Handy produces measurement files in Nemo file format (.nmf) so measurement
files do not need to be converted before post-processing. Measurement data can be
exported from Nemo Handy either by using a data cable or a memory card. A detailed
description of the Nemo file format is included on the product USB. The file format
description contains all recorded events and their parameters, and facilitates easy post-
processing with Nemo Outdoor playback, Nemo Analyze, Nemo WindCatcher, or third-
party post-processing tools.
