TM500 Test Mobile from Aeroflex support multiple handsets

TM500 Test Mobile from Aeroflex is the first in the market to support multiple UE (user equipment, or handset) emulation in conjunction with measurements for the 3GPP W-CDMA Release 8 DC-HSDPA (Dual Cell High-Speed Download Packet Access) standard, says Aeroflex. The TM500 DC-HSDPA Multi-UE Test Mobile enables 3G infrastructure equipment manufacturers to test their DC-HSDPA base stations under conditions of increasing user demand, speeding up the development of infrastructure equipment and its deployment in networks.

The Aeroflex TM500 DC-HSDPA Test Mobile provides low-level control and configuration; it combines detailed measurement data required by infrastructure engineers for rapid diagnosis of engineering issues.

The TM500 DC-HSDPA Multi-UE Test Mobile now supports the ability to test a base station and network against a multiple handset configuration. By using TM500, base station and core network designs can load tested, stressed, and optimized for ensuring performance.

"The Aeroflex TM500 family is continually evolving to track the standards roadmap that wireless network operators are following," said Tim Beard, WCDMA product manager at Aeroflex Test Solutions. "We expect the new DC-HSDPA standard to be widely adopted by operators who are looking for ways to improve the performance and extend the life of their existing networks at minimal cost. The TM500 is the first test mobile to support multi-UE capability for the DC-HSDPA feature."
