Combined Evaluation of Multimode LTE Smartphones and Mobile Terminals

22 July 2011 - Anritsu Corporation announces their new MD8475A Signaling Tester - a complete test solution for multimode Smartphone and mobile terminals which support high-speed LTE communications system as well as being suitable for chipset and mobile telecom operator acceptance testing. The MD8475A also operates as a base station simulator supporting both 2G and 3G GSM/GPRS/EGPRS, W-CDMA/HSPA and CDMA2000® 1x/1x EVDO technologies.

Using the MD8475A, developers are able to run call-processing and service tests of multimode LTE smartphones and mobile terminals, without having to create complex sequence programs. In addition, the MD8475A is able to test CS-Fallback and handover between LTE and 2G/3G systems and boasts higher R&D efficiency and configurable test environments. A built-in PC running Windows 7 OS eliminates the need for an external PC controller and server, which helps cut the space footprint for personal benchtop test environments.

The MD8475A supports every test required for R&D of multimode LTE Smartphones and mobile terminals, including basic call processing (voice, packet, and SMS/MMS tests), max. throughput with 2x2 MIMO environment, battery current consumption, CS-Fallback and handover.
