Emetrics is a solution provided by Enextgen Wireless that assists users to visualise network availability in a location while Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) use same during network deployment to assess the RF signal strength, among others.
Usable (brown) or better (yellow, blue, green) Emetrics provides reliable basic internet connectivity. As such, a consumer looking for reliable internet connectivity only needs to avoid red Emetrics bins.
In other words, once the bin is not red, Emetrics has rated it as having high-enough signal quality for reliable basic mobile internet connectivity.
Since Emetrics is only concerned with signal quality, other core network issues (excessive latency due to traffic congestion or other core network issues) might still lead to poor internet connection experience.
In that case, consumer can look at throughput and ping ratings for the bin, if available, for additional sense of the likely cause of any poor connectivity experience.
The Mobile Number Operator (MNO) can use the enterprise version (access-controlled) for additional analysis.
Use-case examples:
A typical example is a United States business executive who stayed at the Lilygate Hotel in Lekki. Before she left the United States, she browsed Emetrics to look for the best mobile network to subscribe to during her stay and found MTN and Glo but not Airtel or 9Mobile.
She found that both MTN and Glo had good LTE coverage quality.
Then she checked information on throughput and latency and found that Glo had acceptable values for both.
She chose Glo. She did not consider Airtel or 9Mobile because she did not see reports on them.
While she would have been happy with MTN, she chose Glo because the additional information on throughput and latency provided additional assurance.
The site installer or installation crew can now collect site acceptance verification data using Enextlog installed on their mobile phones.
They can drive a route designed by the engineer for verifying correct antenna cabling and orientation without knowing anything about Radio Frequency.
The assigned engineers can use Emetrics to analyze correct antenna orientations and cabling from their desks. Antenna cross-cabling including diversity connection cabling issues can be identified and corrected.
Use Emetrics for acceptance verification for new clusters. After all cell sites have been properly installed and integrated into the radio access network, the cluster engineer has a drive team without any technical know-how collect Enextlog along a verification drive route.
Emetrics allows the assigned engineer to verify desirable interaction among all cells within the cluster. Overshooting sectors can be identified for additional down-tilting.
Handoff failures or absence can be identified and corrected. Even excessive packet delays or throughput deficiencies can be spotted using Emetrics.
Acceptance Go-No-Go decision can be made without any additional expensive data collection and or analysis tools.
Analytics on the collected Enextlog data can be used to define various criteria for network acceptance. For example, the percentage of bins with Downlink throughput above a specified value can be one threshold. Percent of geo-mapped bins with throughput classification in the brown range can be yet another.
The proprietary version is available through contract negotiation with Enext Wireless or Enextgen Wireless.
