Deutsche Telekom has selected Rohde & Schwarz (R&S)'s CMW500 wideband radio communication tester with the R&S CMW cards GUI to support the rollout of its LTE & LTE Advanced network. The R&S CMW500 and R&S CMW cards will enable Operators to simulate complex network configurations for testing, helping Operators to rapidly develop and roll out new services and technologies such as LTE telephony (IMS VoLTE), LTE Rel.10 carrier aggregation, and security related features such as the Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS), said R&S.
According to the company, the solution allows Deutsche Telekom to verify mobile user equipment throughout the entire mobile ecosystem. R&S also claims that its CMW500 is the only test platform to support all common roaming, mobility and interoperability tests with technologies such as WCDMA, GSM, WLAN as well as IP throughput measurements in LTE up to category 10.
