Aeroflex adds DC-HSUPA Support to the TM500 Test Mobile

The TM500 DC-HSUPA Test Mobile enables 3G infrastructure equipment manufacturers to perform rigorous performance testing of their DC-HSUPA base station, speeding up the development of infrastructure equipment and its deployment in networks. The TM500 provides the detailed measurement data required by infrastructure engineers for rapid diagnosis of engineering issues, prior to the availability of actual handsets.

Once again the Aeroflex TM500 family has continued its evolution to track the latest 3GPP standards wireless network operators wish to follow, said Tim Beard, WCDMA Product Manager at Aeroflex. As with dual cell in the downlink, we expect the new DC-HSUPA standard to be widely adopted by operators who are looking for ways to improve the performance and extend the life of their existing networks at minimal cost. The TM500 is the first test mobile to support the DC-HSUPA feature.
