Long Term Evolution (LTE) – Network Diagnostics and Monitoring Solutions
With the massive increase in mobile data traffic, and as networks continue to converge towards all-IP infrastructures, many operators are considering LTE, or Long Term Evolution, a new network technology first defined in 3GPP release 8 which promises to be an all-IP network infrastructure that will dramatically decrease the cost of delivering high-value multimedia services and applications.
Given the advantages, LTE also introduces some unique challenges for network operators that must be overcome in order to profitably deliver high quality services and applications. Coming from a 2G/3G environment, operators have come to understand what specific network parameters impact their network and services. In the all-IP LTE environment, network behavior is less understood and requires new tools and techniques optimized for an IP environment. Interoperability is also a major issue since most operators deploying LTE will be doing so alongside their existing 2G/3G legacy networks, and in some cases, alongside 4G technologies such as WiMAX.
No doubt - when it comes to LTE, operators will need to adopt a strategy that takes into account the necessary flexibility and breadth of technologies required to profitably manage, optimize and troubleshoot their networks and services.

GeoProbe G10
Based on the industry-leading GeoProbe, the NEBS-compliant GeoProbe G10 platform features a distributed architecture optimized to handle high volume IP traffic.
LTE Functional and Load Testing
To increase the accuracy of development test activities, 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.
LTE access and Core network elements simulation and emulation, in depth decoding of protocols, including Uu interface protocols are the applications you need to successfully test your projects and confidently bring your products to the market
LTE Evolved Packet Core (EPC) Network Performance Analysis and Troubleshooting
Tektronix Communications' LTE EPC solution provides real time, end-to-end network visibility and trouble-shooting capability for operators deploying LTE networks. With increasing customer expectations for high-quality multimedia services, and with mobile data traffic on the rise, network operators around the world are looking towards LTE as a more efficient and profitable means by which to deliver bandwidth intensive applications, such as voice over IP, streaming video, video on demand, at a lower cost and with a higher quality of service. As part of the Network Intelligence Portfolio, the LTE EPC monitoring solution supports operators migrating from both the 3GPP (GSM/UMTS) and 3GPP2 (cdma) technologies.
