We’ve spent over 9 years building, refining and optimising a complete suite of patent pending custom-engineered hardware and powerful cloud-based software to solve the many problems that have impacted RF measurement and testing for decades.

We started that process by speaking with operators, network integrators, builders and installers globally to understand THEIR needs; then questioning and challenging all the old assumptions that underpin legacy RF testing tools and methods.  

And by re-imagining, from the ground up, how RF measurement data could be better collected, stored, queried and analysed.

One of our resulting solutions is our truly ground-breaking walk testing platform.
CERNO is the easiest-to-use, fastest, most reliable and most powerful walk and drive testing platform that you’ve ever used.

With in-building wireless networks rapidly increasing in complexity we understand that customers need more power and capability in their walk testing solutions.

Each CERNO data collector is fully self-contained, with 6 UEs, onboard compute & data storage, and inbuilt batteries supporting continuous testing for up to 10 hours.

Each of the UE’s can be band-locked, or set to float; and supports easily-scripted active testing to capture voice and data throughput metrics.

All RF metrics and network parameters from layers 1, 2 & 3 output by the Qualcomm modem are recorded in industry standard QMDL log file format.  

Plus, each CERNO can simultaneously capture RF metrics for Wi-Fi networks.

Because our sampling rates are the highest in the industry, and we don’t bin data, you get higher quality measurements with smoother transitions on plots.

And, CERNO is the only RF measurement platform that tests 5G fully and accurately.  Modems can consume up to 30 watts of power when testing 5G networks, resulting in rapid heat build-up that legacy test tools simply can’t manage.  Throttling and fall back to 4G only mode – without notifying the user – can occur within minutes, rendering test data unreliable.  CERNO has been engineered to effectively manage this heat build-up, ensuring that testing of 5G networks continues unimpeded.  

CERNO is the only RF testing platform that ensures that all measurement data – including for 5G networks – is always true and correct.

Complexity of legacy test equipment has always complicated testing, introduced points of failure, increases testing time, and requires skilled and experienced personnel to undertake testing.

CERNO’s unique fully integrated one-box design, and our simple, but very powerful, administration interface allows fast setup and configuration of sophisticated UE and scanner tests, and of scripted data throughput and voice call testing.

CERNO stores test configurations persistently, ensuring that they aren’t lost or corrupted if power is interrupted, or if a rare fault occurs.

Because the CERNO backpack evenly distributes the weight over the tester’s back, fatigue, pain and the likelihood of injury are substantially reduced.

RF testing with CERNO is so simple and reliable that students, janitors and security guards are able to – cost effectively – test RF networks; and people such as miners and defence personnel are able to test in difficult-to-access and secure areas with as little as 1 hour of training.

The poor reliability of legacy test equipment has frustrated testers, and introduced unpredictable delays and costs into your projects for years.

We’ve methodically eliminated almost every point of possible failure inherent in legacy RF testing tools to create the industry’s most robust and reliable testing platform.  

CERNO has been engineered to be resilient, so that there’s no loss of data, or of test configurations or scripts if you suddenly run out of power, or if a rare fault happens to occur.

With reliability of 98% plus, testing with CERNO is consistently faster and less resource-intensive, and re-tests due to faulty equipment are practically eliminated.

CERNO automatically changes from walk testing mode to drive testing mode when a USB GPS receiver is plugged in.  So, the same hardware seamlessly supports all of your walk and drive testing projects – eliminating duplication, minimising cost, and simplifying training and operation.
