Nemo Cloud

T E C H N I C A L O V E R V I E W

IntroductionNemo Cloud provides a unique, end-to-end online service that connects various Nemo

products into one powerful, industry-leading solution enabling the remote access and

control of Keysight’s measurement and analytics solutions as well as efficient data

sharing between users.

Nemo Cloud online access and single sign-on provide real-time control and monitoring

of measurement product fleets as well as improved responsiveness and visibility of

measurement projects in the field. The centralized product and fleet control together

with online inventory management give customers the tools to get more out of their

measurement resources and product portfolio. Nemo Cloud services improve product

lifecycle efficiency – directly accelerating the ROI for measurement solution investments.

Nemo Cloud provides a one-stop-shop platform for centrally controlled network testing

from measurement session creation to final measurement reports with Nemo post-

processing tools. It allows network operators to remotely operate Nemo Outdoor, Nemo

Invex II, Nemo Handy, Nemo Autonomous Probe, and Nemo Walker Air test units and

check their status. The location and status of field units, including the driver’s contact

details, are tracked in Nemo Cloud. Configuration settings can be shared to and

between all measurement units within the same project quickly and easily. Nemo Cloud

supports all devices and test protocols currently supported with Nemo tools.


A single user is able to remotely monitor and manage numerous Nemo measurement kits

in the field, thus eliminating the need for two technicians in a test vehicle. Measurement

sessions are created and scheduled in Nemo Cloud’s Projects page and they can be

assigned for individual measurement units or to groups of units. For locally controlled

Nemo tools, Nemo Cloud provides file and configuration sharing between measurement

kits. This reduces preliminary work before the actual measurement project in the field

and eliminates human errors in local measurement kit configuration. Field unit hardware

configurations and test device details can be verified remotely to avoid failed drive tests

caused by malfunctioning hardware. In addition, hardware failures, incorrect scripts and

other issues can be spotted and corrective measures taken immediately instead of, for

example, at the end of a one-week test campaign. By reacting without delay, both time

and money can be saved.

Nemo Cloud supports Nemo Outdoor, Nemo Invex II, Nemo Handy, Nemo Autonomous

Probe, Nemo Walker Air, Nemo WindCatcher, and Nemo Analyze. The Nemo Cloud

service can be acquired either as a SaaS or an on-premises service. The SaaS version

is provided as an all-inclusive hosting service with full system administrator support.

The on-premises service is installed in a user-operated server hardware with full system

administrator support from Keysight. The scalability of the Nemo Cloud service varies from

a few measurement units to massive environments – one Nemo Cloud service installation

is limited only by the number of Nemo measurement units. This limit is set at delivery and

the system monitors the number of devices simultaneously connected to Nemo Cloud.

• Access to fleet inventory – The fleet inventory view displays up-to-date status information of individual fleet units.


Nemo CloudNemo Cloud is designed for the centralized remote management and control of Nemo

field measurement units. The location, status, and measurement results of all deployed

units can be displayed and monitored simultaneously on the screen with Nemo Cloud in

real time.

Monitoring

Nemo Cloud’s Monitoring page enables control of measurements in more detail by

allowing you to monitor units, measurement values and statistics, alert, error and

measurement notifications and measurement results from Nemo field measurement units

and projects in real time. You can easily filter which projects to view – only your own

projects, only active projects, or all projects. The dynamic and highly visualized graphical

user interface enables you to centrally view over 600 key performance indicators (KPIs)

with Nemo Outdoor units, and 200 KPIs with Nemo Handy units, per device, all in real

time. The system can be reconfigured immediately when needed, thus minimizing the

risk of erroneous measurements and enabling you to focus on real-time processing

instead of post-processing.

Figure 2. The Monitoring page offers you a centralized platform for viewing information

regarding your measurement projects.


Figure 3. Nemo Cloud’s Summary section on measured KPIs during one measurement session

offers a centralized view of any key points of interest, allowing you to quickly focus on possible

problem areas.

Viewing alerts, errors and measurement notifications is centralized in Nemo Cloud. With

one click you can see all of the measurement notifications and alerts and errors raised,

enabling you to quickly and efficiently drill down to the source of possible problems.

Since you can react to errors sent by your measurement devices without the delay, your

measurement projects become more cost-effective.

Figure 4. Centralized alarm management enables fast drill-down into possible problem areas.


Measurement KPIs can be plotted on a map in the monitoring view and the

measurement route is colored based on the parameter values. It is also possible to

show site collections and base stations belonging to the site collections on a map in the

monitoring view. The base stations can be filtered based on technology, e.g. you can

select only 5G base stations to be shown.

Nemo Cloud also enables viewing scanner KPI measurement results. The Full Scan

mode displays KPIs for measured channels and cells, while Top-1 mode shows only

the best PCI for a specific KPI value per channel. You can also filter results based on

channels and cells.

Figure 5. Map view displaying site collections and measurement route colored based on KPIs

plotted on the map.

Figure 6. Scanner measurement results in the Results view of the Monitoring page.


Nemo Cloud enables you to assign various tasks for individual measurement units or

larger measurement fleets within projects. There are four types of projects available:

work order projects, automatic projects, manual projects, and site acceptance projects

(optional).

• In a work order project you create the project and configure work orders in Nemo Cloud. The end-user of the measurement device can select which work order to perform at a chosen time.

• In an automatic project you create the project and configure sessions in Nemo Cloud and the measurement session is started automatically at the scheduled time.

• In a manual project the project is created similarly to automatic projects. The only difference is that with manual projects you do not need to configure the project start and end date or time or schedule measurement sessions.

• In a site acceptance project you create the project and configure test templates and Nemo Cloud generates individual tests automatically. The end-user of the measurement device can select which test to perform at a chosen time.

On the Projects page you are able to easily assign measurement units and measurement

files to configured measurement sessions/work orders/tests.

Projects

Figure 7. The Projects page displays all the projects and project-related information in Nemo Cloud.


Figure 8. In the Sessions view on the Projects page you can create and edit measurement sessions

easily and conveniently with the calendar-based view.

Figure 9. The Projects page is a localized place to create projects and configure the measurement

devices, sessions, email settings for alerts, and data upload location for measurement sessions.


Analytics

The Analytics view provides access to e.g. all analytics reports, that are created

by Nemo post-processing tool connected to Nemo Cloud. To be able to use this

feature, you must have a Nemo post-processing tool is logged in to Nemo Cloud.

In addition, the Analytics view provides access to reporting dashboards. A Nemo

Cloud admin can easily add new dashboards from the Admin – Settings view.

Analytics view is optional in Nemo Cloud deployments, but it can be added to any

Nemo Cloud account need basis.

Figure 10. The Analytics page displays post-processing dashboards and reports uploaded to Nemo

Cloud.

Figure 11. A Nemo Cloud admin can easily add new dashboards from the Admin – Settings view.


Figure 12. The Files view on the Resources page displays the files created with Nemo Cloud

automatically organized into folders according to their type.

Resources

Nemo Cloud’s Resources page consists of two views: Units and Files. In the Units

view you are able to quickly and centrally view measurement units logged into Nemo

Cloud and see information about these units, e.g. each unit´s Nemo product software

version number and all active units connected to Nemo Cloud displayed on a map. A

Nemo Cloud administrator can also manage the product software version number of

a Nemo product. The Files view displays the files found in Nemo Cloud (scripts and

measurement report files) automatically organized into folders according to their type.

You are able to easily remove, download, or upload files in the Files view.


The Units view displays a list of units with a floating license. You can filter units based

on unit name/IMEI, unit type, license, license expiration date (i.e. when the user´s right

to use the license expires), unit pool name, and Nemo Cloud user name.

The Licenses view displays the available license types, comparable units, number of

licenses for each license type, and license usage. In this view, you are also able to

rename licenses and to view what options each license includes by clicking on the

license name.

Figure 13. The License Manger view on the Admin page displays a list of pools.

Administration

In Nemo Cloud´s Admin page you can manage users and licenses. Note that this page

can be accessed only with administration rights.

The User Management view displays the list of user accounts and their respective

information. In this page you can also manage user accounts, i.e. activate, deactivate,

and create new user accounts. Administrative Nemo Cloud users can also create and

manage user groups.

The License Manager view displays a list of pools with optional expiration dates (i.e.

when the user´s right to use the license expires). You can see the number of licenses per

pool, and the number of permissible devices per pool. You can also create new pools

and rename and remove existing pools.


Scripts

On the Nemo Cloud’s script editor page you are able to view and edit existing scripts,

and create new scripts for Nemo Handy and Nemo Outdoor measurement units. Adding

script commands is simple and the order of script commands is easily altered after

adding commands.

Alerts

On the Nemo Cloud’s alert editor page you are able to create alerts and sets of alerts

for your projects. Alert rules can be defined to suit the purpose of the project, and both

creating alert sets and adding them to projects is easy. You can also select an alert set

among the already created sets.

Figure 14. Creating scripts with multiple parameters is simple with Nemo Cloud’s script editor.

Figure 15. With the alert editor in Nemo Cloud you can create sets of alerts customized for your

measurements and projects.


Scanner Configurations

On the Nemo Cloud’s scanner editor page you are able to create scanner

configurations.

Route & Area Plans

On the Nemo Cloud’s route & area planner page you are able to create route plans and

area plans. Area plans, currently available with automatic projects, enable performing

measurement only when a measurement device is within or, alternatively, outside of

a defined area. Route plans are useful when you want to follow a certain route while

performing a measurement. The route is added to a work order in Nemo Cloud and the

work order is passed over the air to Nemo Navigation Assistant and the assigned Nemo

measurement units.

Figure 16. The scanner configuration settings consist of three parts: General, Frequency

Scanning, and Pilot Scanning settings.

Figure 17. In route planner a route is created by simply adding an unlimited number of waypoints on a

map.
