The Spirent 8100 UMTS Radio Access - Performance solutions offer a wide range of high-value test coverage, carried out under realistic conditions using flexible multi-cell, multi-RAT network emulation, including radio channel conditions and interfering cells. Test coverage is grouped into Test Packs, enabling coverage to be matched to testing and budgetary requirements. The Test Packs address 2G and 3G packet and circuit switched environments, as well as full multi-cell mobility scenarios. Data Throughput Test Packs focus on data throughput performance testing of GPRS/EDGE and WCDMA/HSPA devices. In addition to single-cell 2G and 3G call reliability, Call Reliability and Mobility Test Packs also address advanced scenarios such as Inter-RAT Handover, Inter-RAT Reselection and Out of Service Recovery to provide modeling of real-world issues not effectively covered by current standards-based conformance/certification testing. With Development Library options, users can enhance their custom-build R&D testing with more automation and powerful and faster reporting for functions such as protocol, custom-defined RF scenarios, multi-cell, multi-RAT scenario testing. Test Suites tune parameters in a group of core test cases from one or more Test Packs to align with a particular test plan or test standard. Test Suites are implemented and maintained by Spirent to ensure they evolve with the test plan or standard.
