Abstract

The invention relates to a method of testing the quality of mobile wireless networks which rules out subjective influences as much as possible in the evaluation of quality.According to this invention, a number of test subscribers are equipped with mobile wireless terminals, each being assigned a special telephone number, whereby each test subscriber can communicate over a mobile wireless network selected individually from a quantity of several mobile wireless networks. The selected mobile wireless network is kept anonymous with respect to the test subscriber and is changed at certain intervals. Acquisition of the network quality perceived by the subscribers is performed promptly.
