Spirent helps accelerate deployment of UMTS Location Based Services
December 2, 2003
Spirent Communications announced the release of the first commercially-available
single-source solution for automated testing of GSM and WCDMA handsets
that support Assisted GPS (A-GPS) location technology. Spirent’s new product,
UMTS Location Test System (ULTS), builds on Spirent’s location test expertise,
gained through global leadership in GPS simulation solutions for receiver
performance evaluation and through the market-leading Spirent Position
Location Test System (PLTS) for CDMA.
“ULTS widens our capabilities in the analysis of location technology
performance,” states Richard Catmur, wireless business development director
at Spirent Communications. “Thorough evaluation and qualification of this
new capability in mobile devices is critical for successful deployment.
As we did in the CDMA marketplace with our PLTS solution, we are offering
our GSM and UMTS customers a platform to help assure the A-GPS performance
of their mobile devices before they get to market.”
GSM and UMTS network operators around the world are beginning to deploy
high accuracy location technologies, one of the most popular of which
is Assisted GPS (A-GPS). This effort is driven by commercial Location
Based Services (LBS) opportunities as well as government emergency service
requirements, such as the American E911 mandate. As part of the deployment
effort, the location accuracy performance of the network and mobile devices
must be established.
Spirent’s ULTS product is fully integrated and enables comprehensive
A-GPS performance analysis of GSM/GPRS mobile devices in the lab, helping
to reduce the time and cost associated with extensive field trials. With
Roadmap WCDMA support the product will enable full A-GPS performance analysis
of UMTS terminals. ULTS performs both physical and protocol layer analysis
and supports user and control plane implementations. The open architecture
of the system allows for future upgrades, enabling support of Location-Services
test cases as they are developed by the 3GPP.
Spirent Communications’ wireless test solutions aid in all phases of
mobile handset development and deployment for the world's leading chipset,
handset and infrastructure manufacturers and mobile service providers.
Spirent is considered by the industry the "one-stop-shop" for CDMA handset
performance and certification testing. Among its accomplishments, Spirent
has introduced the first and only integrated solution available to test
location-capable CDMA phones, a critical element of assisting manufacturers
in meeting the U.S. FCC E911 requirements. Spirent has leveraged its success
in mobile performance and certification testing in the CDMA market to
also bring comprehensive performance analysis to the GSM and WCDMA market.
