  • Comprehensive conformance test case coverage
  • Fully automated test platform with an easy-to-use user interface
  • Global leading R&D
  • Wide range of upstream enterprise applications

Product Information

SP9500 Integrated Test System is the world's first testing platform that fully meets the requirements of 100MHz channel bandwidth (for the sub-6GHz band), carrier aggregation, downlink 8-stream / uplink 4-stream MIMO, and other characteristics defined in 3GPP R15, R16 and R17 releases. Cascade multiple SP9500 5G Network Emulator Multi-instruments to support larger-scale MIMO and CA for future technological evolution. SP9500 Integrated Test System supports 3GPP defined tests, including RF conformance, Protocol Conformance and RRM Conformance. In addition, SP9500 Integrated Test System supports Network Access Tests and Type Approval tests defined by large operators worldwide.

Test Cases

RF Conformance Test
(SP9500-RCT)

5G User Equipment (UE) RF Conformance Test by 3GPP TS38.521-1(SA) and TS38.521-3(NSA) specifies the performance KPI for validation of UE’s RF characteristics. 3GPP conformance tests assure wireless network capacity, coverage range, intra-RAT and inter-RAT user coexistence performance, etc., can meet the performance requirements. SP9500-RCT supports all UE RF conformance tests defined by 3GPP, e.g., transmitter and receiver characteristics test, transmit power, dynamic output power, transmit signal quality, output RF spectrum emissions, reference sensitivity, maximum input level, adjacent channel selectivity, blocking and spurious response, intermodulation characteristics, and more.

Protocol Conformance Test
(SP9500-PCT)

5G UE Protocol Conformance test verifies the protocol stack layer as defined in 3GPP TS38.523-1. SP9500-PCT supports all the 3GPP NSA and SA protocol conformance tests, including Idle Mode Operations, MAC, RLC, PDCP, RRC, 5GC test, and IRAT (E-UTRA) tests, and more.

RRM Conformance Test
(SP9500-RRM)

5G UE RRM Conformance test verifies the radio resource management performance as defined by 3GPP TS 38.533. SP9500-RRM supports all the 3GPP NSA and SA RRM conformance tests, including the RRC_IDLE state mobility (applicable only for SA), RRC_CONNECTED state mobility, RRC connection mobility control, timing, and signaling characteristics, UE measurement procedures test and measurement performance requirements test, and more.
