Nemo OutdoorQualcomm-Based NB-IoT and LTE-M Terminals

Measure and Monitor the Newest Wireless Network Technologies with Powerful Drive Testing

Nemo Outdoor from Keysight Technologies, Inc. is an unparalleled network

measurement and optimization solution for perfecting the air interface of wireless

networks. It collects measurement results and geographical coordinates,

and these measurement results further provide valuable information for

network planning, roll-out, tuning, verification, optimization, maintenance, and

benchmarking purposes. Nemo Outdoor is always among the first-to-market with

support for the very latest technologies. This technical data sheet lists parameters

and features available with Qualcomm chipset-based NB-IoT and LTE-M devices

and Nemo Outdoor.

1 The test devices tested and sold by Keysight Nemo Wireless Network Solutions are intended for testing purposes only. Software changes in devices may limit their normal use. Keysight Nemo Wireless Network Solutions does its best to provide test devices without any l imitations but it is not always possible. Keysight Nemo Wireless Network Solutions assumes no liabil ity if any commercial application or feature is blocked or l imited due to software or other device-related modifications. If the test device is moved to another country or used in the network of another operator than initially ordered, it is possible that the device does not support all network features. Keysight Nemo Wireless Network Solutions assumes no liabil ity in any cases.
