Interoperability test solution for GPRS market needs

10 October 2001 Test & Measurement

Tektronix has released a new option for testing mobile handsets for general packet radio system (GPRS) compliance. GPRS is the wireless 2,5G standard that handles IP data as well as voice traffic. GPRS interoperability test functions for Tektronix' K1297-G20 protocol analyser answers the need among mobile handset manufacturers and network operators for quick and easy tools to test and verify their emerging GPRS-compliant products.

The new GPRS interoperability software for the Tektronix K1297-G20 protocol analyser simulates the presence of an entire GPRS network when connected to a basestation subsystem (BSS). With the GPRS software users can connect more than 1000 mobile phones sending and receiving data traffic on the simulated 'GPRS network'.

Via the Gi-interface users have the capability to access the Internet or a local web server on the K1297-G20 protocol analyser for end-to-end diagnostics. With extensive test suites for logical link control (LLC), subnetwork dependent convergence protocol (SNDCP) and GPRS Mobile Management/session management (GMM/SM) protocol layers and a broad range of exercises for emerging designs, the K1297-G20 with GPRS software is currently the only complete solution available for verifying the proper interaction of GPRS mobile terminals and the network switching subsystem.

Tektronix' K1297-G20 is a full-featured, compact protocol analyser which can be configured for a wide range of protocols. It supports multichannel and multiport protocol testing and incorporates a broad selection of conformance test suites.
