ULTS offers the most advanced, comprehensive environment available to test A-GPS-enabled devices for GSM and UMTS networks with the future roadmap to also support testing of A-GLONASS-capable devices. ULTS helps to ensure the success of location-based services, which are highly dependent on A-GPS performance to deliver a compelling user experience.

ULTS test capabilities include protocol verification, RF performance, Over-the-Air (OTA) performance, conformance/certification and operator acceptance. This fully automated, flexible and configurable solution offers Control and User Plane implementations, including complete SUPL support. A baseband interface configuration (ULTS-ADS) for A-GPS chipsets/module development is also available. An OTA test option offers fully-compliant support of the A-GPS OTA tests in the CTIA’s Mobile Station Over the Air Test Plan and full integration with OTA test solutions from ETS-Lindgren and SATIMO.

ULTS is a key module of Spirent’s 8100 Mobile Device Test System which offers an open, scalable multi-purpose test system that is expandable beyond initial testing needs.
