Mobile Device Controller (MDC)

Mobile Device Controller (MDC) Software

GL’s Mobile Device Controller (MDC) provides a liaison to all supported Apple/Android based mobile devices for conducting data tests. The MDC communicates to the mobile devices while accepting commands from VQuad™ and sending test results back to VQuad™. The Data Tests can be remotely started irrespective of the mobile device located in close proximity of the VQuad™ or not.

It is also possible to automate the data testing directly from the Mobile Device without VQuad™ intervention. The automated tests can also be iterated or run continuously and the results with CallID and GPS co-ordinates are sent to the WebViewer™ used for mapping.

Specifically for smart phones, the VQuad™ can fully automate the data tests to any GL app equipped phone irrespective of whether the device is on a voice call or not. Configuration settings are embedded within the *.ini file. The testing is fully automated and can be controlled from a central system or via a WEB Browser. All results are sent to the WebViewer™ Central Database via DataImport.

Manage Devices

Manage Devices option gives the flexibility to manage the NetTest supporting devices (with MDC app installed) connected to MDC server. Device details such as PhoneID, UUID, Device Name, Phone Number, Model type, Device settings, Device Status and the last device updates can be verified. It provides option to Delete/Accept/Reject the device connection with the MDC.

VQuad™ NetTest

The PC based NetTests using VQuad™ scripting supports any internet connection currently configured on the PC including WiFi, Broadband Card (3G/4G/LTE), or wired Ethernet. The GLNetTest app for mobile devices work with the MDC (Mobile Device Controller) application to conduct tests on mobile devices. VQuad™ sends commands directly to the MDC for initiating the NetTest on any connected mobile device. The mobile device will run the specified data test irrespective of whether the phone is on an active voice call or not.

• Available tests include TCP, UDP (capacity), VoIP, Route, HTTP (web lookup), FTP, DNS, SMS, UEInfo, SimInfo, and PhoneInfo
• NetTest Video test can simulate the real time streaming protocol (RTP) by utilizing both the GL NetTest VoIP and UDP tests running in parallel. User parameters include Video Codec and Video Resolution with the corresponding Compressed Frame size, Bytes and Packets/sec automatically determined. This test provides video based metrics including Jitter, Packet loss, QOS and Packet rate.
• Statistics and complete results are available through the WebViewer™ for both Mobile Device NetTests and PC based NetTests

Note that the NetTest requires a GL Data Server at each target location, and the mobile device requires a GL deployed app (Apple or Android based) for operation.

Data Tests Results in WebViewer™

Automated NetTest results performed on wireless and wired networks supporting Mobile Devices (Android & Apple) and a PC internet connection are returned to VQuad™. The testing along with the result generation is fully automated and can be controlled from a central system or via a WEB Browser. Net Test results including TCP, UDP, Route, VoIP, HTTP, FTP, DNS, Video Simulation, SMS and Mobile Device Info results such as UEInfo, SimInfo, and PhoneInfo are automatically relayed to a Central Database where they are accessed via a simple WEB Browser/Viewer. The GPS co-ordinates of Mobile Devices such as Device PhoneID, Device Name and the location sent to WebViewer™ are plotted in the Google map.
