AirAccess C2K CDMA Network Emulator
TAS Wireless Communication Test Systems

AirAccess C2K is a powerful, easy-to-use air interface performance analysis solution for CDMA terminals. Spirent’s AirAccess CDMA Network Emulator has the power and flexibility to perform rapid analysis A terminal performance as well as being scaleable to complete IS-98, CDG Stage 2 or Location-Based Services test systems. AirAccess is a highly configurable, real-time CDMA network with a dynamic state machine engine.

 
C2K-ATS CDMA2000 Automatic Test System
TAS Wireless Communication Test Systems

C2K-ATS is the industry’s most complete solution for evaluating CDMA2000 mobile devices. C2K-ATS is a fully integrated system that is dramatically easier to use than any available alternative. The system combines TASKIT software with advanced test instruments for a comprehensive test platform. The system's TASKIT/C2K test executive software automates test execution to enable a large number of test cases to be run in a relatively short time.

 
Air Access WCDMA Network Emulation
Powerful air interface performance analysis solutions for WCDMA terminals

The Spirent AirAccess WCDMA offers powereful, real-time network emulation using an embedded "active" state machine engine. AirAccess WCDMA emulated a live WCDMA FDD network much more closely than do script-driven protocol testers or manufacturing-oriented base station emulators. With its simultaneous multi-RNC, multi-node-B emulation of WCDMA networks, AirAccess WCDMA also enables testing of a wide range of mobility secenarios including soft and hard handovers.

 
AirAccess CDMA Network Emulation - Mobile IP/DMU Option
AirAccess Offers Mobile IP Test Capabilities

The Mobile IP option for AirAccess C2K and AirAccess 1xPLUS provides emulation of a Home Agent (HA), Foreign Agent (FA) and related network entities necessary to test a mobile terminal's ability to interoperate with a Mobile IP-capable network. This AirAccess option provides the ability to exercise the over-the-air Mobile IP messaging between a mobile terminal and a network.

 
APEX Applications Test System
Wireless Applications Performance Test Platform

Spirent’s APEX Applications Test System automatically evaluates wireless devices and data clients, testing for efficiency and the quality of the user experience. Software modules automate the testing you need, with no scripting required.

 
TAS CIL CDMA2000 Interference Lab
A powerful new test system designed specifically designed to test cdma2000 wireless terminals and base stations

The TAS cdma2000 Interference Lab (TAS CIL) combines the features of the new TAS5600C Universal Interference Emulator with the impairments found in the TAS4600A Noise & Interference Emulator. The system provides adjacent-channel and co-channel interference used for testing 2G and 3G mobiles and base stations.

 
EV-DO Automatic Test System
Industry's only integrated solution for EV-DO Minimum Performance Testing

EV-DO ATS delivers a complete, automated test solution for parametric performance analysis of EV-DO mobile devices. It is a fully integrated test system that is dramatically easier to use than any available alternative. The system's TestDrive test executive software automates test execution to enable a large number of test cases to be run in a relatively short time, reducing the required level of valuable engineering resource dedicated to test strategy execution.

 
PLTS Position Location Test System
TAS Wireless Communication Test Systems

Spirent Communications’ CDMA Position Location Test System (PLTS) is the first commercially available single-source solution for comprehensive, automated testing of mobile-based wireless position location technologies. These technologies are being rapidly deployed by CDMA network service providers around the world, driven in the United States by the FCC Enhanced 911 (E911) ruling and in Asia and North America by the commercial potential of Location-Based Services.

 
U-ATS FLEX Systems - UMTS Automatic Test System
Scalable, flexible and automated systems for UE RF performance testing

U-ATS FLEX Systems form a unique family of highly-automated performance analysis solutions, scalable to meet the requirements of a wide range of budgets and applications. FLEX Systems are fully scalable to cover a range of customer requirements, from early R&D to pre-conformance testing. The systems' control software adapts to a range of equipment configurations and permits automated control of custom equipment and UE.

 
U-ATS Conformance System - UMTS Automatic Test System
Single Turnkey System for RF and RRM Conformance Testing of WCDMA UEs to TS 34.121

The U-ATS Conformance System is a highly automated, rigorously calibrated system designed to meet a range of UE conformance test requirements, including those of chipset developers, UE manufacturers and test houses. U-ATS ensures highly accurate, repeatable test conditions and measurements through the use of automated RF signal switching, signal conditioning, and level calibration.

 
UDM - Universal Diagnostic Monitor
A full featured Diagnostics Monitor (DM) for CDMA devices

The UDM provides extensive monitoring and control capabilities that can be used by development engineering, test engineering, manufacturing, certification laboratories and service providers to analyze and certify both CDMA device and network performance.

 
ULTS UMTS Location Test System
Integrated Solution for Performance Testing of A-GPS GSM and WCDMA Mobile Devices

The UMTS Location Test System (ULTS) is a fully integrated solution that enables comprehensive and repeatable Assisted GPS (A-GPS) performance analysis of GSM and WCDMA mobile devices in the lab, helping to reduce the time and cost associated with extensive field trials.

 
Universal Tool Suite (UTS)
The first step in automated closed-loop testing and integrated provisioning solutions

UTS is a software platform that allows the development of applications and test systems that can be used with any CDMA device that supports the UTS architecture. This is accomplished through the implementation of a UTS Device Driver.

 
SR5500 Wireless Channel Emulator
Wireless Channel Emulation

SR5500 emulates wideband radio channel characteristics such as time-varying multi-path delay spread, fast fading, slow shadow fading and channel loss. The instrument replicates real-world conditions, making it possible to isolate performance issues early in the development and design verification cycle. Optional AWGN and extended frequency ranges further enhance the real-world conditions emulated by the SR5500. Early optimization of performance accelerates time to market and minimizes post-deployment issues.
