Wireless networks are getting each time more sophisticated and complex.

Traditional optimization tools do not

provide the required information to analyze and optimize the networks.
Drive test represents a significant part of a site OPEX and it must be done several times with different tools.
CelPlan aware of this issue, has developed a new generation tool that addresses the requirements of these
networks.
CellWireless™ brings together what is needed to evaluate and diagnose wireless networks from the technical
and customer experience point of view. It supports 2G, 3G, 4G (FDD/TDD), 5G, Wi-Fi and proprietary technologies.
CellWireless™ comes with support for the entire spectrum and all available technologies, there are no extra
modules to buy. A maintenance fee allows for the continuous upgrade of the software.

The diagram below illustrates CellWireless modules.

- CellAnalyzer™ is a Windows/Cloud application that allows engineers to analyze drive test data collected by
CellWireless™ modules. It has uniquely synchronized views, graphs, and tables. It exports data in csv and
legacy formats (NEMO).
- CellCollect™: it allows the engineer to configure all modules locally or remotely and it controls the resource
usage by the modules. It can be programmed to provide live data at the vehicle or just store the data.
- CellDigitizer™: It is a powerful software defined spectrum digitizer (hardware) and IQ storage software. It
covers the spectrum from 100 MHz to 40 GHz. It digitizes 100 MHz blocks of spectrum, stores them, and
makes them available to the other CellWireless™ modules. It can capture parts of the entire spectrum band
or even the entire spectrum. CellDigitizer™ can switch antennas according to the band been scanned or do a
360 degrees scan using sectorized antennas. This allows for geographic interferer location in a single drive
test, through triangulation.
- CellSpectrum™: It is a geo-referenced lab grade spectrum analyzer software, that displays the digitized
spectrum from CellDigitizer, in real time or in playback mode. It can display contiguous or noncontiguous
spectrum. It provides instantaneous views of the spectrum and a time spectrogram (covering hours or
days).
- CellScanner™: It is a geo-referenced technology scanner, that scans at the same time multiple bands and
multiple technologies. It supports 3GPP 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G; IEEE Wi-Fi and proprietary technologies.
- CellOFDM™: It is a geo-referenced tool that captures and displays LTE frames in 3D. It allows to evaluate
time and frequency fading, as well as correlation between antennas to verify geographically MIMO
effectiveness.
- CellPhone™: It is a geo-referenced Android application that evaluates customer experience (without
customer involvement) against CellServers™ distributed across the wireless network, allowing to pinpoint
the network bottlenecks.
- CellProbe™: It is a geo-referenced application throughput analyzer to CellServers™ distributed across the
wireless network, allowing to pinpoint the network bottlenecks. CelProbe™ can collect an analyze data
from phones, radios, test equipment using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).
- Echo Plus™: It is a tool that collects multi-technology engineering data from multiple phones and displays it
geo-referenced. It is phone independent and the phones do not require special firmware. It supports phones
with Qualcomm and Huawei chipsets. It supports scripts and OTT application testing. It captures data
(including RCC and L3 signaling messages) and voice call information, including call quality.
