Access Internet Through Wireless Hotspot

The wireless hotspot created by the test device can be used to access the internet.

Use by Pilot Watcher to access the internet and refresh the map window.

Can also be used for the mobile phone and laptop to access the internet.

The transmission rate depends on the performance and quality of the RAT.


Private Server for HTTP Upload Test

Pilot RCU 2.0 V10.11 supports private servers for HTTP Upload test.

Users may create their own HTTP Upload server.

Detailed operation can be found at section 10 “A1.Pilot RCU 2.0 User Manual

V10.11”.


APP Facebook Test

Facebook has updated its login protocol.

This version supports Facebook test with the new login protocol.

The test service name is changed to APP Facebook.

Note: Users need to apply for a Facebook account on the Facebook website, use this account

to apply for a corresponding App ID, and write down the App Secret.


GPS with Inertial Navigation System

Inertial Navigation System

A self-contained navigation technique in which measurements provided by accelerometers and gyroscopes are used to track the

position and orientation of an object relative to a known starting point, orientation and velocity.

Pilot RCU 2.0 V10.11 provides a GPS solution with Inertial Navigation System.

Supports service test in the tunnel or densely populated area with high-rise buildings

Facilitates the automatic pinpointing on the GPS measurement plot when the GPS signal is lost or very poor.
