A collaborative effort has gone underway between Aeroflex and 7Layers, an international group of engineering and test centres to develop a test system that assesses the interworking of LTE-capable terminals, or chipsets with LTE networks and a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC).
The project combines 7Layers’ InterLab Test Solution, LTE-USIM/USAT with the Aeroflex 7100 Digital Radio Test Set. The new system is suited for both conformance and R&D test.
Together the companies have successfully integrated the two technologies for LTE-only test cases, with further extensions of the test case packages in progress.
This enables the user to migrate UICC conformance testing from expensive test systems to a cost-effective solution that allows UICC testing to be performed during R&D.
The solution implements a straightforward graphical user interface and the test equipment involved is simple to control.
A high-level of automation provides highly reproducible results that are aligned to meet 3GPP standards, which is essential in order to achieve GCF and PTCRB certification.
