NQDI

NQDI: Scalable, flexible, detailed


processing, investigation and reporting
of network survey data.

Scalable, flexible,
and detailed processing
NQDI is SwissQuals post-processing system
for network optimization and benchmarking
and is based on data produced by QualiPoc
and Diversity product families.

Features
Combines high level KPI
summaries with full access
to detailed drilldowns
Smart adapting GUI is
sensitive to contextual
information
Time synchronization and
correlation of numerous data
layers helps automate fault
categorization

 NQDI goes beyond basic post processing and allows


us to get into extreme detail, even looking at voice and
video MOS scores for individual calls. Thats important
when the delta between being first or second for
quality is just one dropped call.

NQDI provides a detailed analysis of the quality of voice, video, and data services
using primary RF measurements, network trace events and call control parameters
for all radio technologies.
Correlated

Payload

GUI

Centralized

NQDI correlates information from


physical, service, and application
layers in time-synchronized views
using maps, grids, line graphs,
bar graphs, pie charts, tables and
hierarchical lists.

NQDI offers extensive payload


analysis of voice and video
services, with onboard
QoS algorithms supporting
troubleshooting and optimization
the end-to-end services QoS.

NQDI has a smart adapting GUI


which is sensitive to the context of
time & date, technology, operator,
device type, map polygons,
quality thresholds, and events
being displayed.

NQDI is designed as a client/


server application using Microsoft
SQL Server as a data repository
and is fully scalable from a
standalone laptop solution to large
client/server enterprise systems.

Technologies

Automated

NQDI supports all the major


mobile radio technologies,
including GSM, GPRS, EDGE,
WCDMA R99, HSDPA R5,
HSUPA R6, HSPA+ R7,
CDMA2000, EV-DO, IS-136, iDEN,
DVB-H, WiMAX, and LTE.

NQDI has automated analysis


of CS and PS calls with failure
cause categorization that
assists the user in finding the
top most quality degrading
network problems within just
a few seconds.

Layers

Storage

NQDI allows time-correlated


physical and protocol diagnosis
across numerous layers RF, L2,
L3, TCP/IP, RTSP, UDP,H.245,
H.324M, WAP, HTTP, FTP,
streaming media player and more.

NQDI stores detailed information


in the database instead of
aggregated data and raw binary
files, allowing more detailed
analysis, more flexible filtering and
long-term trend analysis.

Smart
Making complicated systems is hard. Making them easy-to-use is
harder still. But SwissQual has taken giant steps in making systems that
deliver complex answers very quickly.
We not only give customers the ability to define their own bespoke KPI
values, but also calculate them in real-time live, during data acquisition.
That means that the KPIs coming directly off the network drives are
those the customer likes to see, without waiting for any post-processing.

PI report generator allows users to create their own custom


KPI reports that are saved in the database and can be
easily shared across your organization. The Excel reports
can contain success rate and average pivot tables with
PDF, CDF and Pie charts. A trending sort function can
group the data into time bins ranging from Hour up to Year.

Map plotting
