Proprietary hardware
The Monitor Master platform consists of stationary remote agents
which run tests over numerous different types of wireless and fixed bearers
(GSM, GPRS, UMTS, HSDPA, CDMA, PSTN, WiFi, or LAN). These agents can be
situated anywhere in the world and are centrally controlled by the Quality
Manager management system.
Central management
Quality Manager provides easy access to test scheduling, test script
editors, data warehousing, and reporting engines – a single point of access
to control and benefit from the whole system.
sim multiplexing
Each modem in an agent uses a local SIM card or a SIM stored in a cen-
trally located SIM server. Any SIM in the SIM server can be delivered to any
one of the remote agents over an IP connection and used for testing. This
approach allows SIMs and agents to be located in totally different countries
or continents, with easy SIM management from a central location.
