The Ultimate Portable

Benchmarking System
QualiPoc Freerider III marks the third generation
of SwissQuals smartphone-based and portable
benchmarking system for multi-channel walk
and drive test measurement campaigns.
The compact, lightweight, and well-designed backpack system
is equipped with up to 6 smartphones, a powerful RF scanner,
and RF connectors for optional external antennas. The active
cooling system and 4 hot swappable batteries enable uninterrupted
and reliable multi-channel data collection for up to 8 hours.
QualiPoc Freerider III provides extensive functionalities to test voice,
data, video, and messaging to assess quality of service (QoS)
and quality of experience (QoE) from a real end-user perspective.
Optionally, a powerful multi-technology and multi-band RF scanner
from Rohde & Schwarz can be installed.

This empowers its users to implement comprehensive

smartphone-based measurements to evaluate the competitive
situation of QoS and QoE, including the complete information
about the physical RF environment.
Its future-proof concept, the various applications, the
high-performance, and the ease-of-use make QualiPoc Freerider III
the ultimate portable benchmarking system, which sets a new
standard and underpins SwissQuals status as market driver in the
field of mobile network testing.

Inconspicuous, lightweight backpack

Flexible multi-channel
measurements intuitively controlled
QualiPoc Freerider IIIs measurement devices are integrated in a
well-designed, protective core element and essentially consist of:
6 QualiPoc Android
smartphones (slaves)

High-performance RF scanner
from Rohde & Schwarz

Up to 6 commercially available Android smartphones can be

integrated as single measurement probes based on customer
needs and market requirements to ensure maximum flexibility.

Optionally, the multi-technology and multi-band R&STSME

Scanner can be added to simultaneously and seamlessly
measure up to 8 technologies in wireless communication
bands from 350 MHz to 4.4 GHz.

QualiPoc Android tablet (master)

The Android tablet-based QualiPoc Freerider III offers an
intuitive user interface to configure and operate the system
and to monitor the measurement and KPIs in real-time,
including the complete history of every measurement channel.
This powerful setup, based on SwissQuals proven
QualiPoc platform, empowers its users to implement
comprehensive and efficient measurements of todays
technologies. QualiPoc Freerider III reflects the complete
network status (QoS and QoE) from a real end-user
perspective, including the RF environment split by
frequency bands and technologies.

A ruggedized, flexible,
and future-proof hardware concept
The custom designed backpack and its protective core
element are based on a future-proof concept and conform to
CE standards. The sturdy construction of the core element is
