ADVANCeD, CONfIGURABLe TeST AUTOMATION WITH POWeRfUL ANALYSIS & RePORTINGRecognized by leading network operators and mobile device manufacturers globally, the 8100 Mobile Device Test System makes use of the industry’s leading test executive software, with best-in-class User Interface (UI) and extensive results reporting and analysis capabilities.

Spirent’s UI-based 8100 Development Library tools enable fast and easy creation of custom automated tests for functional verification, integration, regression and pre-compliance. They are also ideally suited to meeting the in-depth analysis requirements of operators’ specific validation and UE acceptance test needs. The tools enable users to configure network topologies and to set RF conditions and cell parameters in one easy step with the Network Configuration tool.

A Step Creation Editor tool enables a definable number of test steps to be created, edited and executed, with regression testing at any stage. These steps can easily be set to test complex mobility scenarios such as Inter-RAT handovers/re-selection between multiple WCDMA and GSM cells with or without fading and noise – all in a few intuitive steps, without the need for complex scripting or equipment down-time.

SAMPLe fIeLD TeST COST SAVINGS

1. Assumptions:

• 10 new devices brought to market each year

• 6 drive tests per device per route

• Average price of drive testing per device per route = US$2,000

• Average number of routes = 5

2. Objective: reduce from 6 to 3 iterations per device per route

3. Annual cost of drive testing:

10 devices x 5 routes x 6 times/route x US$2,000/device/route iteration = US$600,000

4. If drive route iterations could be cut in half through lab-based performance testing,

annual cost savings = US$300,000

HOW MUCH COULD YOU SAVe?

LAB TeSTING HeLPS ReDUCe fIeLD TeST TIMe AND COSTThe cost of finding and fixing device issues in a live network can be very high. Lab testing with real-world simulation capability, used earlier in the device development and verification cycle can tremendously improve the reliability of results and help reduce the costs associated with field/drive testing. With the option for integrated RF fading and noise, users can easily recreate a real-world RF environment in the lab. The custom-design tools help quick modeling and modification of test conditions such as AWGN SNR, multi-path, cell power and much more.

In addition, the 8100 Mobile Device Test System includes 3GPP and operator-specified drive-route models used for testing performance of voice, data and location under various mobility scenarios.

Drive testing, already a complex and expensive activity, is becoming an even bigger challenge with the emergence of multi-RAT, multi-mode, LTE-enabled devices. Drive testing will not be sufficient to address the full range of interoperability issues across a limited number of drive routes for mobility testing. The 8100 Mobile Device Test System offers network operators and device manufacturers the opportunity to shorten the device test cycle and improve the reliability and end-user experience.
