REMOTE TEST UNITS FOR

TEMS™ AUTOMATIC

The next generation of autonomous test units has

arrived. The RTU contains multiple test devices.

The unit is smaller, more powerful, and more ro-

bust than our previous mobile test units, with

support for up to three embedded measurement

devices. They support voice and data for GSM/

GPRS/EDGE, WCDMA R99, and HSPA, including

AMR-WB.

Small and durable, the new Remote Test Units can be deployed nearly any-

where. They ﬁt well in taxis, buses, trains, delivery trucks, and even on ships

and ferries. For ﬁxed testing, they can be easily deployed in public areas

such as airports, ofﬁces, and shopping centers. It is even possible to stack

RTUs for even more ﬂexibility.

Comprehensive service and network information is collected by the

RTUs. Because they are powerful as well as easily deployed, the RTUs allow

TEMS Automatic to perform a wide range of valuable tasks: benchmarking,

optimization, quality assurance monitoring, and service performance

monitoring are among them.

The RTUs have advanced autonomous operation and are controlled

remotely from the TEMS Automatic back-end server. The timing, location,

and type of testing can be conﬁgured in this way. Even software and ﬁrm-

ware upgrades can be performed remotely.

The RTU can be conﬁgured together with one Transceiver Test Unit

(TTU), which is a small boxed solution containing a Sierra Wireless MC8700

embedded module that is mounted to the RTU itself. An external scanner,

either a Scanning Receiver Unit (SRU), a PC-Tel EX or PC-Tel EX mini (also

mounted on the RTU) is also available.

The RTU itself holds up to three embedded measurement devices

(Ericsson F3607gw and, or Sierra Wireless MC8700), an 8 slot SIM switch, and

a dedicated data upload modem, together with a GPS. The RTU operates

without a fan, which represents an important enhancement, particularly for

in-building deployment as a ﬁxed test unit.
