White Paper: BTS System Line Sweep And PIM Testing

In this current exciting cellular industry, cellular system performance requirements are at an all time high. This is an extremely important part of the day-to-day operation of a modern telecommunications network and directly reflects on the overall perceived quality levels as experienced by each individual subscriber. We have all experienced dropped calls and poor quality connections while using our cellular devices and these frustrating performance problems directly contribute to subscriber churn, sometimes to a level exceeding 30% of the overall reasons a subscriber decides to change service providers. This has a massive impact for the service provider, as it is a key indicator reflecting the sentiment of the customer. It is not surprising to learn that staff bonus plans take this indicator of performance into account heavily.
