Signalling tester simulates wireless networks
Anritsu has introduced enhanced Wireless Network Simulator software for its MD8470A signalling tester - a basestation simulator for mobile terminal application software development and verification.
This new test concept means that developers will no longer require access to live test networks and infrastructure to be able to test and develop new attractive mobile-based services.
The MD8470 supports multiple communications systems including W-CDMA and GSM/GPRS, offering integrated system simulation from RF to core network gateway.
Using the MD8470A, the press of a single button provides the developer access to a test environment that is configured and managed on an integrated PC, and provides a true "over the air" RF link to 3GPP compliant handsets.
After the tests have been performed, simulation results can be analysed with the protocol message decode function.
Using the built in control PC, data, servers and content can all be stored and managed within the test equipment.
The MD8470A sits alongside Anritsu's MT8820A, MD8480B and MX786201A, providing developers with a family of test solutions for system simulators and wireless handset testing.
