Analysers gain test development tools
Cetecom has signed an OEM agreement to integrate Telelogic's test development tools based on the TTCN standard in its own test systems.
PTCRB is the certification scheme that must be followed by mobile communications manufacturers to obtain an IMEI for mobile devices intended for the North American market, and it is becoming a de-facto standard for those companies aiming to commercialise GSM products in the USA and Canada.
This selected test equipment must provide a high level of confidence regarding the execution of the tests included in the 3GPP TS 51.010-1 standard.
The MINT RF tester is a dual mode test system for 2G/2.5G/3G products that performs automatically the conformance RF test specifications for GSM 850/900/1800/1900, GPRS and WCDMA FDD.
MINT also supports protocol conformance test cases for WCDMA according to 3GPP TS 34.123-3.
Juan Carlos Mora, Product Manager at Cetecom Spain said: "After getting GCF validation in a record time, we are now very proud that MINT is an accepted platform for PTCRB testing".
"We are seeing an enormous interest in the mobile communications industry, and this recognition will strength our position as a leading conformance test equipment supplier for GSM/GPRS/UMTS".
