LTE performance testing
Mobile network operators recognise that customer experience plays a key role in customer retention. LTE 4G promises a higher end-user experience with faster data rates. But, the complexity of new smart devices and new network technology means that in order to achieve this, extensive testing of mobile devices prior to market introduction is becoming more imperative. Performance testing devices in a lab-based environment which replicates ‘real-world’ conditions and scenarios enables operators and device manufacturers to be more confident that their product will meet end-users expectations.
Performance testing plays a significant role in operators’ device acceptance programmes. The Global Certification Forum (GCF) is now starting to introduce performance testing as part of its conformance certification scheme. The mobile device ‘ecosystem’, consisting of device and chipset manufacturers, mobile operators and independent laboratories, is calling for precise, automated, repeatable and reliable performance tests to measure and optimise parameters such as data throughput, impact of signalling, audio quality and radio performance.
Anite offers a comprehensive portfolio of performance testing solutions for chipset and device manufacturers, network equipment manufacturers and mobile network operators for all stages of the development life cycle.
