Large-Scale, 24/7 Mobile Quality Monitoring And Service Level Verification

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers probe the fundamental structure of the universe. CERN’s flagship, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), has a massive underground infrastructure that consists of a 27-kilometer ring of superconducting magnets at an average depth of 100 meters. A mobile network designed for CERN’s needs, with a mix of aboveground and underground infrastructure, ensures area-wide communications.

To monitor and measure communications services in line with service level agreements (SLA), an extensive network of QualiPoc Android Probes from Rohde & Schwarz mobile network testing (MNT) has been installed below and above ground.
