At VIAVI, we recognize that maintaining dependable, secure, and high-quality communications is essential for critical mission services. Interruptions or reduced service in public safety, transportation, utilities, or airport communications can lead to significant real-world impacts.
That’s why EVOIA Drive Test was designed: to give suppliers and operators the tools they need to guarantee performance, reliability, and safety 24/7.
If you want to gain network acceptance, or actively test and optimize existing operations, then EVOIA Drive Test is essential.
That’s because it is easy to test network radio coverage automatically or on demand and identify interference issues.
EVOIA Drive Test data is collected using installed racks, trolleys or backpacks, depending on requirements and budget.
Test runs can be conducted as single events or as part of a regular schedule in both manual or unattended mode.
All results are then displayed inside EVOIA Assure, the monitoring and troubleshooting platform.
And with guaranteed support for GSM-R until 2040 and readiness for FRMCS and beyond, EVOIA Drive Test is suitable for testing today’s networks while ensuring a smooth path into the future.

Collect & analyze rail telecoms performance data
VIAVI makes it easy to collect all the necessary data to test and measure mission critical and railway telecoms networks, such as: GSM-R, 4G, TETRA, LTE, 4G, 5G, MCPTT & more.
We can help customers select the right EVOIA Drive Test system for their needs and budget, with the option to scale up their investment as required.
We are MCX ready – are you?
Many MCX operators in some markets are moving from TETRA and GSM-R to other telecom standards including 4G, 5G and FRMCS (the Future Railway Mobile Communication System).
And in some cases, the timetable is already set. For example, GSM-R is forecast to reach “end of life” around 2030, when manufacturers are currently planning to withdraw their support.
VIAVI is already working with rail operators looking to install and operate rail telecoms networks using 4G & Mission Critical Communications (MCPTT, MCPTX, MCVideo and MCData). We also can provide 5G testing capabilities.
Additional Services
VIAVI can supply solutions for test vehicles and wagons, attended and unattended solutions, as well as standalone and portable kits.
Our solutions are all supplied with appropriate training, support and maintenance packages tailored to meet different client operational processes and environments.
