LTE DEVICE TESTING
Many wireless operators are deploying 4G LTE technology at a rapid pace and have seen an influx of 4G devices to complement the network. However the success for the wireless operators depends on having stable and robust 4G devices that enhance user experience. This is possible if these new devices are tested thoroughly in different functional and feature areas. w2bi’s LTE device testing solutions offers a unique opportunity to wireless operators and device manufacturers to test such devices before they are launched and mass produced.
w2bi’s LTE Q-GENERIC® automated test product combines its proven test automation platforms with multiple network emulators from leading vendors to address the unique requirements of operator specific device compliance test plans. Complementing w2bi’s existing certification platforms for 2G and 3G networks, it bundles all the elements needed for effective LTE device certification, enabling operators and its suppliers to deliver quality tested LTE devices to market faster. Providing a completely automated solution, it accurately implements operator test plans with subsequent validation on reference devices at customer labs
