Nemo OutdoorR&S TSMW Scanner

Test and Monitor Complex Cellular Environments and ProtocolsNemo Outdoor from Keysight Technologies, Inc. is an unparalleled network

measurement and optimization solution for perfecting the air interface of wireless

networks. It collects measurement results and geographical coordinates,
