QP's Field Test Service has been designed and developed to assist our carrier and handset manufacturer customers in ensuring higher quality products to market sooner. Did you know that QP has performed over 90 field tests in 2003, and has successfully performed approximately 30 weeks of field testing in just the past 3 months of 2004!
QP also provides custom field testing
for those customers requiring specific test needs. We will design
test requirements and drive routes applicable to your market areas.

Included in the service is an array of support services that demonstrate QP's commitment to the success of your project! QP Command Central – Communication and Coordination QP Command Central manages project logistics such as flight arrangements, hotels and vehicles. QP also coordinates and manages the call centers, call center operators as well as the test vehicle drivers. In addition, a Field Test Project Manager is assigned to each field test. The Field Test Project Manager works in the QP “Command Central” Corporate Office and ensures that all field test engineers are prepared for testing, tests are prioritized, equipment is ready, MINs are allocated, issues are being addressed, and that the customer is communicated to in a timely, and regular manner throughout the field test cycle. Consistency of Highly Trained Resources Consistency throughout a project contributes to effectiveness in delivering the service. QP’s Technical Field Test Training and Evaluation Program are designed to provide our customers with highly trained resources and a consistent test methodology from project to project. QP test equipment reflects this consistency as well. All QP Field Test Engineers are equipped with the same laptop models and configurations, connectors USB to Serial hubs, reference handsets and software. Test Tools As part of the full service, QP provides all test tools required to deliver the testing at no additional fees. This includes equipment, test software, reference handsets, etc. Flexibility One of the biggest challenges in delivering the field test service is the requirement for extreme schedule flexibility and the ability and stamina to work long hours in a driving vehicle. QP steps up to those challenges with each and every field test. Knowledge of Drive Routes QP engineers are familiar with the test market drive routes provided by Verizon, Sprint (STIC Lab), as well as drive routes used by Bell Mobility Canada and Telus in the Toronto area. QP can also help our customers design custom drive- routes to suit their specific testing requirements. QP Field Test Engineers strategically located QP’s Travel Field Test Team is strategically located closer to test markets. This results in saving our customers time and money when deploying field test engineers to a test market area. MIN activations for reference and test terminals Once ESNs for the test handsets are
provided, QP will activate the terminals using QP MINs. This will
ensure that the Test and Reference handsets are "paired"
and subsequently hash to the same channel.... a very important factor
when testing. Also each MIN will be provisioned with all the necessary
features required for testing.
