The ME7834 Mobile Device Test Platform is an all-in-one platform supporting multisystem mobile terminal protocol CT and carrier acceptance tests. In addition to supporting standalone tests of W-CDMA and LTE systems, the ME7834 can also be configured as a customized integrated environment for InterRAT tests between LTE, GSM, W-CDMA and CDMA2000 mobile systems.
The rapid worldwide spread of 3G mobile phones is the driving the early rollout of new services like LTE (Long Term Evolution) offering faster speeds and lower latency.
Since LTE technology is compatible with 3GPP-defined GSM/W-CDMA systems, triple-mode mobile terminals supporting GSM/W-CDMA and LTE will be needed. Another key feature of LTE is not just support for 3GPP GSM/W-CDMA but is also support for InterRAT with CDMA2000 systems and many CDMA2000 carriers are considering moving to LTE as the mainstream for next-generation mobile terminals.
As a consequence of these trends, R&D into commercialization of multimode mobile terminals is expected to become very active, increasing the needs for measurement systems supporting multisystem conformance tests (CT) and carrier acceptance tests.
