Tektronix debuts load-test system
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 4/1/2005
The LTS21 load-test system for 3G cellular applications employs a patent-pending graphical user interface that lets users create complex, realistic 3G traffic scenarios using objects instead of scripts. Combining control-plane as well as user-plane traffic, it lets customers identify areas of weakness within a network and eliminate trouble spots through deployment of preventive measures.
The LTS21 targets technicians and engineers at network equipment manufacturers testing next-generation mobile data technologies as well as network operators who need to evaluate Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) or General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) network elements before making them operational within a live network. The LTS21 enables customers to test 3G networks with realistic but simulated voice calls and data streams from many thousands to many millions of mobile units.
Base price: $250,000. Tektronix, www.tektronix.com.
