Small cells improve cellular network coverage
for a fraction of the cost and time needed for a traditional
cellular tower
LitePoint, a leading provider of wireless test solutions,
announced today that the LitePoint IQxstream cellular test system
has been approved by Qualcomm to test their small cell cellular
chipsets.
Small cell manufacturers using Qualcomm chipsets can use
LitePoint’s easy-to-deploy test solution to test multiple devices
at once; enabling them to get to high-volume production rapidly and
with high quality — saving time and money.
As demands for higher data consumption and support for a high
density of users increase, small cells offer a proven solution.
They provide carriers with a significant advantage in dramatically
improving service for their customers without the substantial time
and costs required for land, permitting, and materials to build new
cellular towers. In addition, small cells improve coverage indoors
where building materials and electrical devices can interfere with
the user’s signal.
“There is a great deal of cellular data growth expected in the
next few years. The existing infrastructure won’t be able to meet
all of this demand. Carriers are starting to deploy small cells,
which are critical to providing the network capacity needed in
densely-populated areas,” said Adam Smith, Director of Product
Marketing at LitePoint. “LitePoint is committed to meeting that
testing need and our IQxstream is an excellent solution for fast,
low cost, high volume small cell testing and we are pleased to be
validated by Qualcomm.”
Technical Highlights
The IQxstream is a multi-device cellular testing solution
for the verification and calibration of cellular smart devices,
modules, and small cell base stations. The system includes options
for single or multi-device testing and multiple-input, multiple
output antenna configurations. Optional software configurations
include measurement suites for all leading cellular standards,
including LTE and LTE-Advanced Pro.
IQxstream implements a non-signaling testing methodology that
enables advanced testing strategies and up to four devices to be
tested in the same time it traditionally takes to test one, saving
considerable time and money for device makers.
