Ranlytics

Big news for our US region. Dan Todd has joined us as Business Development Manager for the Americas - and we could not be more excited to have him on board. Dan is a 25-year veteran wireless leader with experience spanning strategic coverage solutions, enterprise engineering, and nationwide venue deployments. He has guided best-fit RF solutions across carriers, integrators, and enterprise customers - and has spent a career working inside the very networks we build tools to test. He knows the infrastructure, the pain points, and the people. Dan will be driving our US expansion and deepening Ranlytics' partnerships across carriers, integrators, and enterprise customers. The US market is a major focus for us, and having someone with Dan's depth of experience leading the charge is exactly what we needed. If you are working on network testing or monitoring in the US and want to see what CERNO, KALLO, or RAN-DPS can do for your team, Dan is the person to talk to. Welcome to the team, Dan. Let's get to work.

We design, develop, and build our technology in Australia. Always have. Today, that's officially recognised. Ranlytics is now a licensed user of the Australian Made logo - and we couldn't be more proud to carry the green and gold kangaroo. Our team spans Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia. But at the centre of it all, our Artarmon facility on Sydney's North Shore is where the hardware gets built. Every CERNO, every KALLO, every LURA - designed, built, assembled and shipped from there. When you're building technology that critical infrastructure operators, government agencies, and carrier networks depend on, you want to know exactly who built it, where, and how. We can answer all three. We sell into 20+ countries. Our hardware is deployed on campuses, in government facilities, and across carrier networks around the world. Every unit carrying that kangaroo was built right here, by our team. Proud to carry the kangaroo.

The biggest bottleneck in wireless network testing isn't the hardware. It never was. It's what happens after. Gigabytes of QMDL log files manually dragged into legacy desktop tools after a walk test. Hours of processing. Reports that only one or two people in the entire organisation can actually interpret. And for continuous monitoring, alerts that go nowhere because no one has the context to act on them. The data is there. But it's locked away. We built RAN-DPS to fix exactly that. Whether it's finishing a walk test with CERNO or streaming continuous monitoring data with KALLO, RAN-DPS ingests it all in minutes - no dongles, no local storage, no waiting. Engineers get a rich environment for deep-dive analysis. Stakeholders get a simplified view that answers the questions they actually care about. One platform. One dataset. Zero data silos. We talk a lot about the hardware. But this is what makes it actually useful. We're booking live demos now - send us a DM to lock in a time.

Testing 18 different networks at once usually means wasting your first hour on site just untangling cables. We thought about writing a caption explaining how CERNO does it better. We could talk about how it packs up to 18 UEs to test everything from 2G to 5G SA/NSA simultaneously with 99% reliability. We could talk about the auto-start, auto-scanning, and thermal management that stops throttling dead in its tracks. We could also talk about how it produces industry-standard QMDL log files that are available in near-real time via the RAN-DPS. But then we thought... we'll let the engineering speak for itself. Here's what it sounds like setting up a massive, multi-network walk test in just minutes. Click, zip, snap, and go. Sound on.

We're excited to share we're officially a member of ARCIA - Australia's radio and critical communications Association! We're obsessed with ensuring that critical communications networks perform when they are needed most. Joining ARCIA is a natural step for us, as we share their commitment to shaping the future of radio and critical communications in Australia. We look forward to collaborating with the broader ARCIA community to advocate for robust spectrum management and drive innovation in how we test and monitor these life-safety networks. A big thank you to Paul Davis and the wider ARCIA team for the warm welcome at last weeks networking dinner, pictured below with our Sales Director Leanne Ramsay. We can't wait to get involved in the upcoming conferences and events!

If a critical cellular antenna failed on your campus right now, how long would it take you to notice? If you're relying on someone to complain, it's already too late. When you operate a campus with 700+ buildings, cellular and radio coverage isn't just about streaming lectures. It's about the emergency call boxes actually working. It's about campus police radios connecting in the basement. It's a massive duty of care. But here's the uncomfortable truth: most campuses are flying blind. You can't walk-test 700 buildings every day. So you assume the network is fine. And in an emergency, that's a terrible strategy. We've been working with a massive Tier 1 university in North America to fix exactly this. They're putting KALLO's in every single building across six campuses. Not to check a compliance box, but to get 24/7 proof that all three US carriers and their P25 safety radios are actually working. It's already paying off. During the rollout, KALLO picked up a downed antenna - purely through network data, before anyone even reported it. When you're responsible for tens of thousands of people, guessing isn't good enough. Continuous monitoring is just table stakes. Have a read of the case study in the comments below.

For emergency services, a dropped call isn't an inconvenience. It's a crisis. But testing the P25 networks they rely on has always been clunky. You strap a scanner to a technician's back, walk the floors, and get a snapshot of that exact moment. If a new building goes up next door a month later and ruins the RF environment, you probably won't know until someone reports a dead zone. We wanted to fix that. KALLO now supports continuous, real-time monitoring and active testing for P25 digital radio networks. We packed the capabilities of those massive scanners into a single device that scans up to 30 Band/Technology combinations every 5 minutes - for both cellular and P25 simultaneously. It captures active call metrics, RRC events, and SIB messages, all managed OTA. Just plug it in and see exactly what's happening on your network, right now.

Building a $20,000 network sensor is easy. But that price point - and the bulky hardware - makes massive deployment impossible. You cannot put an expensive sensor in every corridor of a hospital or stadium. To eradicate network blind spots, you need a completely different approach to the economics and engineering of RF testing. Meet our KALLO. Look at the size of this device. In that single, compact unit, we have packed the capability to scan up to 30 Band/Technology combinations every 5 minutes for both cellular and P25 networks. But KALLO has evolved beyond just monitoring. It is now a fully-fledged test and diagnostic tool. We have added active testing for data and voice calls. We capture passive cell metrics, active call connection metrics, and now RRC events and SIP messages. It is a true 'set and forget' solution with full OTA administration. No site visits. No manual walk tests. Just plug it in for unprecedented, real-time network intelligence at scale.

Australia is changing how mobile coverage is defined.   Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has just introduced new industry standards, creating a consistent baseline across all networks. It’s a major step forward for transparency and a welcome update for the industry.   But as we adapt to these new rules, it highlights a bigger conversation.   Standardising predictive models is a great start, but coverage isn’t just what’s predicted on a map. It’s what actually works on the ground, in real time, when it matters most.   For regional communities. For commuters. For emergency services.   To truly understand that experience, we eventually need to move from predicting coverage to actually measuring it. Real data. Real environments. Real accountability.   The new standard sets a baseline. The next step is gathering the hard data behind it. It's one of the reasons why we built LURA - a lightweight way to turn everyday fleet vehicles into measurement tools, so we can finally see the reality on the ground. How much of a gap do you still see between coverage maps and on-the-ground reality?

The industry is taking notice. Last week we submitted our response to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA)'s draft mobile coverage mapping standard, arguing that predictive modelling is no longer fit for purpose. Communications Day (CommsDay) covered our submission, highlighting the core issue: Australia needs actual, on-the-ground measurement, not just better guesswork. When coverage maps are critical national infrastructure, "close enough" is a risk we can't afford. Read the full article below to see why we’re pushing for a pathway to real, saturation measurement.
