New QualiPoc Android extends technical lead with additional forcing control functions, support for Samsung Galaxy SIII for LTE, and unique on-device expert training.

Solothurn, Switzerland, September 17, 2012.

SwissQual, a Rohde & Schwarz Company, today announced the latest generation of the widely used QualiPoc Android handheld optimization tool, and revealed very strong demand is currently underpinning a large jump in market share.

SwissQual QualiPoc Android is rapidly becoming the reference handheld Android optimization tool against which others are judged. SwissQual was the first company to support Android handset and tablets for LTE, and is constantly extending that lead with new features and unique capabilities.

"When we introduced QualiPoc Android in early 2011 we knew we had a product that was technically well ahead of the field, and it is very pleasing to see that customers agree. After a wide range of field trials around the planet, many new customers are electing to purchase SwissQual’s QualiPoc Android handheld optimization tools, and we are seeing big increments in demand and market share," said John May, CEO.

QualiPoc Android is a handheld radio network optimization tool that contains dozens of features unique to SwissQual. The latest version, released mid-September 2012, includes many new capabilities that extend SwissQual's technical lead. One example is forcing control functions, which offer unique new capabilities in the latest generation of QualiPoc Android.

"Forcing functions are essential to allow engineers to control and monitor the radio resources they are optimizing. SwissQual provided forcing functions on Android devices right from the very first release of QualiPoc Android, and we are happy to introduce further extensions of those capabilities, offering tighter control of resources. SwissQual is the only company able to offer this rich set of forcing functions on widely used Android smartphone devices today, including the very latest Samsung Galaxy SIII for 4G LTE, which is already in service in large numbers," said May.

Each new QualiPoc Android also comes complete with a self-contained, rapid-start, on-board training course for new users. This consists of pre-loaded expert training videos that allow each engineer to self-educate and become productive within moments of receiving a new QualiPoc.

SwissQual will be exhibiting the latest generation of QualiPoc Android alongside other products as part of the Rohde & Schwarz display stand at LTE Asia, 18-19 September 2012, at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, as well as at NigeriaCom, 26-27 September 2012, at the Eko Hotel in Lagos.
