Spirent 8100™ 5G Mobile Device Test System
Automated 5G UE Testing for Location, Video and Voice
Fast, comprehensive performance testing of mobile smartphone and
IoT devices for voice, data, video and location technologies with fully
automated, customizable turn-key solutions for carrier acceptance,
standards-based testing and R&D.
The Spirent 8100 system offers congurations for 5G positioning
performance, voice call and audio performance, and streaming video
performance.
These congurations are tailored for the needs of 5G device
manufacturers and chipset vendors who are developing devices
such as eMBB 5G smartphones, “puck” data modems, xed-wireless
premises equipment, and IoT devices.
The 8100 5G system provides R&D testing capabilities, specialized
automated test suites for E911 positioning conformance, and carrier
acceptance test suites for voice, video, data and location services.
Existing Spirent 8100 customers enjoy a seamless upgrade path
from their 3G/4G systems into the 5G domain. Spirent’s TestManager
and TestDrive automation suites, with their world-renowned ease of
use, provide familiar environments for test case development and
execution.
Spirent’s 8100 5G
System supports
your needs today
and prepares your
lab for tomorrow
5G brings unprecedented
challenges to UE testing,
as devices are being called
upon to deliver new levels
of performance in location
accuracy, low latency, and
high data rates.
New use cases abound,
with smartphones now
playing a central role
as video consumption
devices, and with new
verticals using 5G for
telemedicine, factory
automation, and smart
cities.
The Next Gen of
Device Test
The 8100 5G Mobile
Device Test System
combines Spirent’s
industry-leading
automation and ease
of use, 4G LTE, A-GNSS
and indoor location
technologies with 5G
network emulation
to support 5G-NR in
Non Standalone and
Standalone congurations.
The system leverages
state-of-the-art software
dened radio technology
to evolve as 5G evolves,
to serve in mmWave
and Sub 6GHz to realize
Massive MIMO and beam
management scenarios.
5G Positioning Performance
5G promises to bring new positioning technologies over and above what GNSS and 4G-LTE can provide.
5G-NR enables increased OTDOA accuracy, and when coupled with beamforming gNodeB antennas and
beam-tracking UE designs, 5G provides z-axis position data.
Today’s 4G Assisted-GNSS (A-GNSS) devices will
also be impacted by 5G radio as they become
exposed to interference from new 5G bands.
Spirent provides test solutions that help ensure the
4G location performance accuracy of the devices
with 5G radio impact, as well as performance of 5G
devices with 5G location technologies.
Spirent’s 8100 5G system for Location testing
meets today’s needs and provides a seamless
path to maintain alignment with upcoming 3GPP
extensions for 5G’s new location technologies. The
system includes state of the art GNSS simulation,
as well as Spirent’s exclusive Indoor Location
Simulator. These components are combined into a
system that provides industry-leading automated
location performance and conformance testing.
Key Capabilities:
• Easy-to-use graphical UI provides simple test
execution and results analysis
• Test case congurability enables performance
testing beyond 3GPP conformance
• Hybrid A-GNSS plus OTDOA (observed time
difference of arrival) with performance evaluation
• Indoor Location testing using Wi-Fi, Barometric
pressure and Bluetooth* beacons (*roadmap
capability)
• GNSS, Wi-Fi and LTE Record and Playback
• Type approval and conformance certication
(GCF/PTCRB) for A-GNSS, OTDOA minimum
performance and protocol conformance; OMA
SUPL protocol conformance
• Conducted and Over-the-Air radiated testing
for CTIA v3.7 requirements, in pre-integrated
congurations with leading anechoic test
chambers.
