Google ViSQOL support
Introducing Google ViSQOL: an objective speech quality model with all Echo Tools. Echo tools now include support for ViSQOL voice quality measurement in addition to POLQA voice quality measurement.
Adding ViSQOL voice quality measurement to a voice call test
ViSQOL comes free of charge with all Echo tools and will be offered as an upgrade automatically to customers with a valid support plan. With ViSQOL, you can measure speech quality without any expensive licenses. In addition, ViSQOL is a floating feature same as any other feature with Echo tools. This means that the feature is included in your Echo tool on supported phones and tablets regardless of the device’s make and model! For both POLQA and ViSQOL, Echo tools support mobile to mobile (M2M) and mobile to fix (landline) speech connections.
For more technical details on ViSQOL contact your local Enhancell sales.
Snapdragon 888 support
With this upgrade, Echo handheld tools support the latest Snapdragon 888 chipset-based phones. You can upgrade your test phones to Snapdragon 888 chipset-based phones completely free of charge due to Echo’s flexible floating licenses!
Advanced settings
Settings in Echo handheld tools have been rearranged for easier access to frequently used settings. Less frequently used settings have been moved under Advanced settings in the settings menu. This makes it quicker to browse and find those settings you need more often and on the other hand, with the new arrangement, the less used settings can be found under one category as well.

Indoor map cleanup
This upgrade includes also automatic indoor map cleanup for old indoor maps to save storage space in your measurement device. The cleanup feature deletes indoor maps that have not been used for 30 days to free up space from your device. However, the maps are not lost since indoor maps are always uploaded to Cloud automatically and can also be restored from Cloud to the device at any time as long as the device is connected to the internet.
