Multi-Mode Signaling Tester For 2G To 4G-LTE Wireless Devices: MD8475A

The MD8475A Signaling Tester is an all-in-one base station simulator supporting LTE FDD, W-CDMA/HSPA, GSM/(E)GPRS, and CDMA2000® 1X/1xEV-DO Rev. A. It supports service and call-processing tests for multimode LTE smartphones and mobiles with excellent cost-performance. A wide range of test environments are supported for the general mobile verification phase, such as max. throughput performance tests, stress tests, and battery consumption tests of multimode LTE mobiles using 2x2 MIMO, as well as LTE-W-CDMA and LTE-GSM CS-Fallback, call connection reliability and stability tests at handover in a 2-cell environment, communication tests at low RF power, and service verification using LTE Multiple-PDN and SMS in a 2-cell environment. In addition, test conditions are easily set using a state-machine-based GUI, cutting test environment configuration work.

Anritsu Company introduces the MD8475A Signaling Tester that offers the capability to test a wide range of applications and operating systems on the latest high-speed, multi-mode LTE devices. The MD8475A broadens Anritsu's market-leading 2G/3G and LTE test portfolio that already includes the widest available range of solutions, extending from R&D to functional test, Conformance Test (CT), Carrier Acceptance Test (CAT), manufacturing, and aftermarket repair.

The MD8475A Multi-mode Signaling Tester has the ability to simulate 2G, 3G, LTE and mixed-generation wireless networks, and enables device manufacturers to conduct end-to-end testing of applications that run on these networks. An enhanced Wireless Network Simulator (WNS) graphical user interface enables multi-mode, dual-cell capability, including handovers between 2G, 3G, and LTE. Since it is Windows 7-based, server applications can be conveniently installed into the MD8475A, for easy one-instrument, end-to-end application testing. Up to eight external servers can be simultaneously linked to the MD8475A through Ethernet connection, as well.

"Powerful applications and easy-to-use operating systems are becoming the keys to success for wireless device manufacturers and carriers selling these devices," said Wade Hulon, vice president and general manager of Anritsu Company. "The commercialization of the MD8475A enables testing of these devices to ensure customer satisfaction, whether the customer is browsing the web, downloading a video, or using GPS to navigate to a restaurant. Anritsu is pleased to continue its leadership in application testing with the introduction of a second-generation product focused on this market."

A multi-format signaling tester, the MD8475A can test multi-mode wireless devices, including GSM/GPRS/E-GPRS, 1xRTT, 1xEV-DO, W-CDMA/HSPA, TD-SCDMA, and FDD-LTE. The highest speed commercially available (Category 3) LTE devices can be tested with the MD8475A, with downlink IP-layer throughput to 100 MB/s (including 2x2 MIMO) and uplink throughput to 50 MB/s. The MD8475A enables test of many types of mobile device applications ranging from traditional SMS/MMS, browsing, and streaming, to advanced applications, such as augmented reality and real-time multi-player gaming. Since high data rate applications have the potential to drain an LTE device's battery very quickly, the MD8475A enables easy testing on the effect of advanced applications on a device's battery performance.

The base price of the MD8475A is $49,938.
