To guarantee user mobility in a cellular network, devices should be able to move seamlessly between cells and between radio access technologies (RAT). However, this important area of device performance is not fully addressed by current standards-based conformance testing. Spirent’s solutions quantify the mobility and inter-RAT performance of devices and chipsets in the lab under real-world network conditions for GSM/GPRS/EDGE, WCDMA, and HSPA.

The 8100 Mobility and inter-RAT solutions provide a controlled environment, reproducing real-life network conditions for consistent and repeatable test results. Spirent’s 8100 automates call reliability performance testing of GPRS/EDGE, WCDMA, and HSPA handsets, data cards and embedded modules under a wide range of handover, 2G to 3G and 3G to 2G reselection scenarios.

Spirent’s 8100 Mobility and inter-RAT solutions are available in a range of scalable, cost-effective options ranging from bench-top to fully integrated platforms. Spirent’s 8100 meets a wide range of testing needs: from R&D customers who require flexibility and customization to operator looking for turn-key and fully automated solutions in their acceptance test plan.
