Industry First for 3G LTE Device Testing
21st August, 2009
US : Two companies have announced a new 3G LTE Emulator. The new 3G LTE Emulator from Spirent Communications and AT4 wireless' E2010 Broadband Wireless Test Set will share a joint platform as part of an agreement between the two companies. The end result is enhanced packet core (EPC) network emulation for the real-time 3G LTE Emulator.
The Spirent LTE Network Emulator forms a key element of Spirent's 8100 Mobile Device Test System ( left ). The 8100 provides test coverage for multiple phases of the product lifecycle, from device manufacturer R&D to network operator device acceptance. Advanced test automation helps reduce time-to-market for devices, across a range of air interface technologies. Spirent's 8100 LTE solutions also offer a straightforward upgrade path for customers of Spirent's existing CDMA/EV-DO and UMTS test solutions.
In combination with Spirent's existing CDMA and UMTS network emulators, the Spirent LTE Network Emulator delivers a unique multi-technology, multi-cell capability that enables all aspects of LTE multi-mode (LTE with CDMA/EV-DO and/or UMTS) device performance to be fully tested in the lab prior to commercial launch.
"User satisfaction with LTE device performance will play an important role in determining the success of early LTE deployments," said Charles Simmons, president of Spirent's wireless division. "Network operators and device vendors can now bring to market high performance, best-in-class LTE-capable devices through a rich portfolio of LTE solutions that leverage Spirent's strengths in device performance testing and AT4 wireless' strengths in conformance testing for device certification."
