China Telecom Picks Spirent for Mobile Testing

China Telecom has selected the Spirent C2K-ATS system to test mobile phones before they’re offered to its subscribers. The system will be used for parametric radio testing, signaling conformance testing, data performance testing and location-based services testing.

China Telecom picked the Spirent C2K-ATS system after comparing solutions in several categories. The government-owned giant will use the Spirent system to test mobile devices for compliance to industry standards as well as for application service quality.

Spirent says nearly all of the CDMA and EV-DO mobile device designs deployed in the world today have been tested on its system. In addition to automated conformance testing, the single-platform multi-function tool can be tailored for mobile device design-verification testing (DVT), product integration and debugging, and the resolution of post-deployment issues by quantifying device performance in terms of RF performance, protocol issues and A-GPS performance.
