We are happy to present you with the new 4.0.12 upgrade to Echo Studio! This new release includes a range of added features including improved cell display on map, support for Bing maps, waterfall display for spectrum scan, and other improvements. See full list of the upgrades below!

Improved cell display on map

In addition to new color coded cell site icons it is possible to select if cell sites are displayed on active system or all systems.

MIMO page for 5G

New pre-defined MIMO page for 5G shows information on all MIMO antennas.

WIFI data added to NMF export

NMF export now includes export of WIFI measurements also when converting echo format to NMF format.

Waterfall display

New waterfall display added to spectrum and power scan views.

New map types

Added support for Bing maps and hybrid maps for Google map data.

• Fixed issues parsing LTE RRC messages with some phone models
• Fixed issues detecting no-service in NMF export and loader
• Fixed file converter issue, where state of previous conversion could affect next conversion when converting multiple measurements
• Fixed measurement end time after crash recovery
• Fixed signaling view’s name filter to show all items started by key text
• Fixed issue with call statistics in NMF loader
• Fixed events not processed in file conversion
• Fixed wrong 5G bandwidth shown with certain phones
• Fixed file converter GPS coordinates issue

The new version will be pushed to Cloud shortly and it will be offered as an automatic update.

In addition, a tip if you are uncertain about updating: you can always configure the version you want to be installed in the Cloud. The version can be specified on a sub-account basis, so you can assign a different version for one user for verification and propagate the update to the rest of the users once verification testing has been done.

Happy upgrading!
