The enhanced VQuad solution from GL Communications provides an automated method to test all types of data to and from the Smartphone, confirming performance, quality and reliability. With the introduction of GL’s NetTest a variety of data tests can be performed directly from the mobile device and controlled remotely from the VQuad script.

Tests include TCP, UDP, HTTP, VoIP, FTP, DNS, SMS, and Email, basically a full array of tests to definitively confirm the performance of the network (and the Smartphone device).

The VQuad software is enhanced to support Four Dual UTA's on a Single VQuad system which allows up to eight devices configured simultaneously, performing voice quality testing along with a variety of other analytical tests.

Supported Dual UTA interfaces include 2-wire FXO, Bluetooth (including support for VoLTE), Balanced, Mobile and Push to Talk (PTT).Typical networks supported by GL's VQuad - Dual UTA hardware/software include Wireless (VoLTE, LTE, 4G, 3G) via Bluetooth or wired headset, Broadband Internet (LTE, 4G, 3G), VoIP SIP, PSTN, and TDM.

Automated testing using GL's VQuad includes the ability for scripting with variable parameters for improved flexibility, portability with mobile drive testing, and remote accessibility using CLI or WebViewer.

The WebViewer provides centralised data retrieval along with mapping to Google Maps and analysis of Voice and Data. In fact, GL's mobile test solution provides the flexibility of connecting to any network, any service, and any interface.

VQuad supports new Video Conference Testing using the VAC (Video Application Controller) for both manual and automated (scripted) tests. For redundancy and load sharing, VQuad and File Monitor and VQT support connections to as many as four remote Central Systems. Full access for modifying these connections (along with any VQuad related configuration) is available directly from the WebViewer. Enhanced VQuad remote functionality supports most all available commands.

EnhancedWebViewer now includes a consolidated console view to monitor virtually all results including VQT, VQuad and NetTest from a single screen. This view can be customized adding additional events and threshold levels making the Console a one-stop-shop for Network Analysis.

The WebViewer Network Status is enhanced with improved look and feel (especially remote operations) along with additional functionality. Network status is provided for ALL VQuad Nodes, ALL VQT nodes, ALL File Monitor nodes and ALL Mobile connections. In other words, from the WebViewer, the user can see exactly what’s happening within the entire network and control and change settings on any node connected to the central system.
