Alcatel-Lucent introduced a Smartphone Wireless Network Analyzer Methodology (SWNAM) that gathers and analyzes 4G packet data to provide an instant picture of network activity. 
Essentially, SWNAM turns a smartphone into a remote monitor for identifying and reporting packet loss and other issues which impact service quality, while aggregating it into a central data correlation tool.
SWNAM monitors the network from the smart-phone user’s view — from the outside, looking in — as opposed to the traditional approach which is to only monitor diagnostic data from inside the network core, looking out towards the end user. Alcatel-Lucent said this allows operators to proactively collect critically needed diagnostic data to detect, troubleshoot and resolve any problems which compromise the service experience.http://www.alcatel-lucent.com
