Comprehensive LBS Lab Testing Accelerates Time-to-Market

What are the Key Location Based Services Testing Issues?

Location-based services (LBS) are being rapidly deployed by wireless service providers worldwide. Test specifications for position location technologies are being developed by organizations such as 3GPP2 (IS-916), the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) and leading CDMA and WCDMA carriers. Originally driven in the U.S. by the FCC Enhanced 911 (E911) ruling, LBS has moved beyond emergency services to a growing range of commercial applications.

Wireless service providers need to meet or exceed industry specifications in order to compete and thrive in the rapidly expanding wireless market.

Spirent Solves Your Critical Test Challenges

Spirent Communications offers the world’s first commercially available, automated systems to test CDMA, WCDMA and GSM mobile devices using A-GPS location technology. Spirent is taking a lead role in the development of test requirements and specifications for commercial location technologies, working with all key players to develop test requirements.

While current industry standard tests define only minimum-performance specifications, Spirent’s systems evaluate performance well beyond these baseline test scenarios to identify performance breakpoints under real-world nominal and adversarial conditions.
