Drive-test analysis on the SONIC platform

Raw drive logs in. Defensible answers out.

DriveLens imports the log files your field teams already record, analyses the complete drive automatically and produces the deliverables: findings, maps and reports. It runs fully offline on a normal laptop, and drive logs never leave the machine.

The Problems We Set Out to Solve

Drive testing creates data.
Engineers still need decisions.

Drive testing produces thousands of measurements per minute across a growing number of logfile formats. Turning that volume into decisions remains slow, manual work. These are the four problems DriveLens was built to remove.

01 · ENGINEERING TIME

Analysis takes days

Engineers replay every log chart by chart, theme maps by hand and paste screenshots into slides. A single cluster can cost days, every drive round.

How we solve it: automated analysis reviews the whole drive in minutes and returns ready findings.
02 · TOOL FRAGMENTATION

Every collection tool needs its own software

Field teams record with different tools, and each logfile format normally needs its own post-processing suite, licences and training.

How we solve it: one workstation reads the major drive-test logfile formats in the same project.
03 · RAW DATA

Engineers get raw data, not answers

Conventional tools show plots and event lists. The step from a bad span to its root cause still has to be worked out by hand, for every issue.

How we solve it: every finding comes as a verdict with the evidence behind it already attached.
04 · REPEATED REPORTING

Reporting is rebuilt by hand every round

Results are assembled into customer decks manually: screenshots, tables and commentary, repeated for every cluster and every re-drive.

How we solve it: a finished, editable report is generated from the project in two clicks.
What DriveLens Does

One workstation.
The complete post-processing flow.

DriveLens is a drive-test analysis workstation. It imports the log files your field teams already record, analyses them automatically and produces the deliverables: findings, maps and reports—fully offline on a normal laptop.

01

Multiple logfile formats, one interface

Read the major drive-test logfile formats natively, whichever collection tool recorded them. One project and one workflow for the whole team.

02

Automated analysis at one click

Run voice, mobility, coverage, throughput and 5G analyses across the whole drive and return verdicts with evidence—not just charts.

03

Reporting built in

Generate management-grade reports, theme maps and Excel exports inside the tool, with no separate reporting software.

04

Easy for every engineer

Use one integrated workspace with minimal training. Junior engineers can produce the same consistent analysis as the senior team.

How It Works

Four steps.
One continuous workflow.

From raw log files to a finished report in four steps. The same flow applies to every supported logfile format and every analysis.

01 · IMPORT

Load the cluster

Load a whole cluster of log files in one pass. Phones, datasets and routes are detected automatically, and split recordings merge into one continuous drive.

02 · ANALYSE

Run visible rules

Run the automated analyses. Every second of the drive is reviewed against visible, tunable rules and each finding receives a verdict.

03 · DRILL DOWN

Follow the evidence

Click any finding and the map, charts and signalling messages jump to that exact moment, with every view in sync.

04 · REPORT

Generate the deliverable

Generate an editable deck or locked PDF, theme maps and Excel outputs, ready to send the same day.

Everything in One Integrated Workspace

Every view follows the same second.

No switching between windows or tools. The route map, measurement tables, charts, signalling messages and events all live in one workspace and follow one shared cursor.

One click, every view follows: select any point and every pane shows that exact second
Drag any recorded measurement onto the map, a table or a chart
Import your cell file once to display sites, sectors, azimuths and the live serving cell
Replay and filter the drive, save pane layouts, and use licensed online maps or prepared offline country packs

Automated Analyses That Save Engineering Days

A verdict—not another chart.

Each analysis reads the whole drive, applies an editable rule set and answers one question an RF engineer would otherwise spend hours resolving. The current analyses cover the daily post-processing workload.

01

Voice & call quality

Identify blocked, dropped and poor-quality calls, mute and one-way audio, with the radio and transport evidence behind each problem span.

02

Handover

Classify failed and ping-pong handovers as too late or wrong cell, with serving, neighbour and target evidence.

03

Accessibility

Review service setup, access failures and call-establishment behaviour across the complete recorded route.

04

Coverage & interference

Find weak coverage, dominance and interference conditions with the route-level evidence attached.

05

Sector audit

Audit cell and sector behaviour against the operational evidence collected during the drive.

06

Throughput

Assess data-session performance and the supporting radio conditions across the measured route.

07

5G service

Identify 5G presence, availability and service behaviour within the recorded dataset.

08

Before & after

Compare drive rounds and determine whether a network change improved the measured result.

09

Acceptance scorecard

Apply project thresholds and required percentages to produce clear KPI pass/fail outcomes.

Visible rules. Whole-drive analysis. Evidence attached.

DriveLens is an engineering tool—not a black box. Detection rules remain visible and tunable, every analysis runs across the complete drive, and new analyses can be built around repeated customer engineering requirements.

Evidence Behind Every Finding

Open the engineering story.

Voice Call Analysis

Which calls dropped, blocked or sounded bad—and why?

Determine whether the radio or transport was responsible, with the complete story behind every poor span.
Every call graded for audio quality, with radio and transport evidence behind each poor span
Mute and one-way audio detected when the stream remains alive but one ear hears silence
Setup failures, blocks and drops with the failing transaction attached
A verdict per call and per problem span, with evidence one click away
DriveLens voice call analysis with quality score, RF context and signalling evidence
Handover Analysis

Did mobility work—and which cell pair failed?

Identify failed or ping-pong handovers, classify the cause and expose the trigger-time evidence.
Failures classified as too late, wrong cell or ping-pong
Serving and neighbour levels captured at the failure moment against the configured trigger
Worst source and target cell pairs ranked and ready for the change request
Handover verdict, RF context and signalling ladder aligned on one cursor

Powerful Automated Reporting

The analysis and the deliverable
come from the same project.

Two clicks turn the open project into a finished, management-grade report: a fully editable deck or a locked PDF. The same logs and template always produce the identical report.

DriveLens Questions

Before your demonstration.

The fastest evaluation is a working session using representative log files from your own environment.

Does DriveLens upload drive logs to the cloud?

No. DriveLens runs fully offline on the workstation and the drive logs remain on that machine. Online or prepared offline map backgrounds can be used depending on the deployment.

Which network generations does DriveLens cover?

The SONIC platform and DriveLens workflow cover multi-technology RAN analysis from 2G through 5G, subject to the selected logfile format and licensed analysis modules.

Does DriveLens support more than one collection-tool format?

Yes. It is designed to read major drive-test logfile formats inside the same project workflow. Exact format compatibility can be confirmed during the demonstration.

What reports can DriveLens generate?

Outputs include editable presentations, locked PDFs, Excel exports, KPI theme maps and specialised customer or regulator-style report packs.

Can we benchmark several operators?

Yes. A benchmarking campaign can compare recorded test verdicts and KPIs between operators and feed scorecards, rankings and survey reports.

Can our engineers change analysis rules and report templates?

Analysis rules are visible and tunable. Report templates can also be customised and shared, while delivered report packs can protect required layouts and thresholds.

How is DriveLens licensed?

Analysis modules can be licensed individually, with full-suite packages available. Licences are signed, workstation-bound and can carry an expiry date.
