Test equipment specialist, Comprion, will present the first solution for LTE/USIM handset conformance testing according to 3GPP TS 31.121 USIM Rel8. Comprion SIMfony LTE was developed with support of Rohde & Schwarz, the test and measurement specialist, and will be shown for the first time at Mobile World Congress.
Comprion SIMfony LTE consists of the Rohde & Schwarz network simulator R&SCMW500 and the GCF/PTCRB validated (U)SIM simulator IT³ Platform for conformance testing. The solution will also be available with the preconformance tester IT³ Prove!. The IT³ Platform is the heart of Comprion’s terminal testing solution and is validated as a platform for conformance testing at GCF and PTCRB. Besides the ability to execute predefined test suites, it is a fully configurable analogue and logical card simulator for testing mobile handsets and Smart Card interface technologies.
The R&SCMW500 is the singlebox radio communications tester that supports the largest number of technologies, including LTE. This enables the possibility to run test cases using several radio access technologies on a singlebox which is also necessary for new USIM TCs requiring an LTE/WCDMA or LTE/GSM environment.
“Thanks to the combined expertise of Rohde & Schwarz in network simulation and Comprion in USIM interface testing, Comprion has developed a pioneering solution for combined LTE/USIM testing. The R&SCMW500 integrates perfectly into the SIMfony LTE system.” said Comprion’s Managing Director Michael Wehmeier on the collaboration.
