As of Tuesday, December 16, 2011, A-GPS Over-the-Air (OTA) device testing is mandatory per the CTIA’s Test Plan for Mobile Station Over the Air Performance. If you’re not ready now, let us show you how to get there.

Conducted-mode testing does not account for GPS antenna performance, and live network testing is not repeatable. On the other hand, lab-based OTA device testing is a key enabler of accurate GPS/A-GPS performance.

Spirent offers the industry’s most extensive range of GPS/A-GPS OTA device performance testing solutions so that the impacts of antenna placement, form factor, interference and more can easily be characterized under real-world conditions.

Automated, customizable testing offers the flexibility to change frequency bands, assistance data, required response time, accuracy and the number of test iterations, allowing you to reduce test times and tailor your testing to your specific needs.

As the recognized industry leader in GPS test and simulation systems, Spirent offers full support for both A-GPS and A-GLONASS OTA testing of CDMA, UMTS and LTE devices and chipsets. Fully validated A-GPS test solutions support a variety of OTA chambers (anechoic, reverberation or bench-top RF) and can be integrated with solutions from the industry’s leading chamber manufacturers. In addition, Spirent solutions offer performance testing that goes well beyond the standards to meet a wide range of testing requirements, including those for operator acceptance.

CATR is using Spirent’s SR5500 and VR5 wireless channel emulators, in conjunction with an anechoic chamber, to investigate and validate approaches to MIMO OTA testing.
  • PCTEST Selects Spirent for Industry’s First Over-The-Air Testing of GPS in LTE DevicesMar 22, 2011Spirent today announced that PCTEST Engineering Laboratory will use the Spirent 8100 Location Technology Solution for Over-the-Air (OTA) testing of GPS in LTE and multi-mode devices. PCTEST is a CTIA Authorized Testing Laboratory (CATL) for certification and is also authorized to carry out third party certification testing for leading wireless operators, including Verizon Wireless.
  • Spirent and Bluetest Collaborate to Advance Mobile Device RF TestingFeb 15, 2011Spirent Communications and Bluetest AB, a leading supplier of reverberation test systems, today announced their collaboration to advance Over-The-Air (OTA) test methods for mobile devices. Through their collective research and development, these two industry leaders will dramatically improve the time and reduce the cost required to deliver a superior user experience to mobile subscribers.
  • Spirent Announces Major Innovation in LTE MIMO TestingFeb 14, 2011Spirent Communicationstoday announced the addition of MIMO Over-The-Air (OTA) Environment Builder software to its wireless channel emulation product line. When equipped with this new capability, Spirent’s wireless channel emulators can be used to predict user experience of MIMO devices prior to deployment. The innovative new software reduces the complexity and uncertainty of chamber-based MIMO OTA implementations for LTE device performance testing.
