UTRAN Testing
Around 70% of 3G network problems are related to radio interface issues. A careful optimization of the 3G radio access network can have a huge impact on the ultimate quality of service perceived by 3G subscribers. Unfortunately UTRAN was not designed to be monitored with a level of complexity presented to maintenance and optimization engineers. Moreover Iub and Iur links are encrypted, contain proprietary vendor protocols and transport high load.
To allow you win the UTRAN monitoring challenges, Tektronix provides unmatched expertise and an unparalleled portfolio of UTRAN testing solutions, ranging from functional test products, through our advanced RF Field Test solution to troubleshooting and network and service analysis.
UTRAN Functional Testing
To increase the accuracy of development test activities, and to keep your development projects time and costs under control, you need to rely on industry leading functional test solutions. Anticipated availability of protocols, interfaces and complex test scenarios including simulation and emulation of the key network components gives you a competitive advantage and allows you to bring your products to market earlier and with higher reliability. UTRAN simulation and emulation, in depth decoding of protocols, including Iub interface protocols are the applications you need to meet the challenges of UTRAN functional testing.
UTRAN Performance Analysis and Troubleshooting
The toughest UMTS testing challenges are related to the complexity of monitoring and troubleshooting the UTRAN. Tektronix’ network and service analysis solutions provide full visibility into labs and live network traffic through multi-interface traffic analysis tools which help you isolating root causes of UTRAN network and service problems faster and more effectively. The innovative approach implemented by Tektronix allows you to perform full and accurate protocol decoding and troubleshooting combined with KPIs analysis and end-to-end traffic correlation.
