SwissQual, the independent Swiss network quality measurement company, has announced the release of a new technology to make drive test data collection processes shorter and more cost effective. This innovation delivers data for analysis through a combination of radically new data compression techniques.

When a drive test car is in operation it can easily generate over 100 Mbytes of data per measurement channel, per hour. If 8 channels are being supported, this means that each car can generate more than a DVD full of data within a working day. Traditionally this has been downloaded by memory stick, DVD, LAN connections or by over-the-air data transmission. The first three methods require manual intervention to physically transfer the data. The third option, whilst allowing for unattended operation and potentially near real time reporting, becomes impracticable with such large data volumes.
