Multi-device user experience test solution for LTE cellular products

This innovative design and production test solution is designed for simulation of real-world scenarios for cellular voice, web browsing, streaming media and other services.

LitePoint®, a leading provider of wireless test solutions, today announced the launch of the LitePoint IQcellTM multi-device cellular signaling test solution, which enables user experience testing of LTE cellular devices.

Designed for mobile device original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) , IQcell is used to test the performance of mainstream device features such as mobile hotspots, VoLTE calls, web browsing and streaming. Testing of these applications is done under a wireless connection to simulate a real user experience scenario. The user experience is critical to testing today's incomparably complex devices, which ensure that the device works as designed in the hands of customers.

IQcell provides a fast and efficient way to accurately locate the root cause of user-reported faults so that the equipment repair service center can use the IQcell and IQservice software to perform radio frequency (RF) parameter testing of the customer's reworked handset . In this way, equipment manufacturers and telecom operators can repair faulty handsets instead of replacing handsets that were easily repaired with new ones, saving costs.

Adam Smith, Director of Product Marketing at LitePoint, said: “The user experience is the key to a device's success. IQcell helps OEMs and service centers see what users see, rather than translating certain parameter measurements into a user's actual experience with the product. Continuously improve the testing experience to make it faster and less expensive, allowing more equipment to be cost-effectively tested. IQcell saves test time and reduces test costs, which eliminates the need for equipment manufacturers to take product quality risks Because they can quickly and efficiently perform various types of signaling tests on multiple devices simultaneously. "

Technical highlights

The IQcell is available in 2- port and 8- port configurations and supports LTE-FDD , LTE-TDD , WCDMA/HSPA and GSM standards. The IQcell 2- port configuration quickly diagnoses the cellular radio quality of IoT devices, and the automated test system is capable of detecting cellular radio strength by running a pre-set set of test cases. The IQcell 8- port configuration enhances test capabilities while testing four devices operating on four independent cellular mobile networks, each with a dedicated measurement system for high-speed, high-accuracy and technology-specific parameter determination.
