Stop Paying the 20% Re-Test Tax
For decades, RF professionals accepted a harsh reality: 1 in 5 walk and drive tests requires a re-test due to equipment failure, data corruption, or unreliable performance. Each re-walk costs $5K-$15K, and each re-drive costs $20K-$50K in wasted labor, travel, and venue access fees. CERNO's 99% reliability eliminates this industry-accepted tax on your time and budget.

Built for Reliability, Simplicity, and Performance
Three core advantages that eliminate the re-test tax and accelerate your testing workflows and time-to-deliverables
99% Reliability. Zero Re-Tests.
Engineered for 99% reliability, CERNO prevents data loss from thermal throttling, power failure, or corruption. Eliminate costly re-tests and ensure your data is always secure.
- 99% reliability vs 80% industry standard
- Eliminate $5K-$50K re-testing costs per incident
- True 5G testing with no heat-induced throttling or fallback to 4G
Unmatched Speed and Efficiency
Start testing in 10 minutes, not hours. Our intuitive drag-and-drop script builder and automated channel scanning eliminate complex setup. If you can use a smartphone, you can use CERNO.
- Configure and start testing in 10 minutes vs hours with legacy tools
- Never lose more than 3 seconds of measurement data, even if you run out of power mid-test
- Automated channel scanning eliminates programming errors
Test More, Faster
Test up to 3x more networks at once than legacy tools. CERNO handles 24 networks on a walk test and 72 on a drive test, completing a week's work in a single day.
- From boot-up to test completion of up to 24 networks to walk test reports in a day
- From boot-up to test completion of up to 72 networks to comprehensive drive test maps & queries in a day
- Comprehensive, industry-standard QMDL log files
One Device for Every Testing Scenario
One versatile device for every testing scenario - reducing CAPEX and OPEX by eliminating multiple single-purpose tools. Use the same unit in a backpack for walk testing or mounted in a vehicle for drive testing. One device. Every scenario.
Walk Testing
Lightweight backpack rig (12.1kg / 25lb for a 24 UE configuration) with even weight distribution reduces physical strain and risk of injury.
Drive Testing
Automatically convert to drive testing mode by connecting the GPS Puck. Roof-mounted setup eliminates vehicle-induced attenuation for true, accurate data.
Auto Identify Bands & Channels
Auto scan before testing to accurately identify all deployed bands & channels - ensuring that tests are complete and eliminating errors.
Fast Start Feature
Pre-configure tests in the office. On-site, the user simply powers on the device to start testing automatically.
Test Every Band on a Single Walk/Drive
Scalability that allows you to test every operator-technology-band combination on a single pass for complete insight into service quality, and elimination of the need for scanners.
Simultaneous Testing of Voice & Data With Each UE
Increase productivity by running separate voice call and data throughput test scripts on each of the inbuilt UEs at the same time.
