Verifying Positive Train Control (PTC) radio performance in the field is no easy task. That point was proven recently when a Class 1 national railroad believed its PTC radios were drifting out of tolerance. When the OEM radio supplier challenged the field test results and began charging thousands of dollars in service fees, the railroad needed a reliable and accurate test process. Thankfully, Anritsu developed a solution that has saved the railroad money while also ensuring the PTC network is operating according to specification.

By working closely with a Tier 1 national railroad, Anritsu developed a test solution to quickly and accurately test PEP radio power without to avoid very costly RMA and NFF fees. Additionally, railway technicians can now use the LMR Master with the PTC Analyzer option to troubleshoot and remediate issues they were unable to address previously.
