Accelerate the Introduction of New Mobile Devices
Today’s mobile device users expect a superior experience – both in terms of functionality
and quality of voice and data transfer. Rigorous device testing in the integration,
interoperability and carrier acceptance testing phases enable mobile operators and
device manufacturers to ensure that a device works as intended on the network.
SAS supports the largest number of tests for Tier 1 mobile opera-
tors’ device acceptance programs
Testing devices in the laboratory is a cost-effective, controllable, repeatable and
automated methodology. It allows you to test unexpected behavior in a controlled
environment and launch new devices in a much shorter timescale. SAS also enables you
to meet end-users’ expectations in terms of Quality of Experience, leading to greater
levels of customer retention.
The lab-based interoperability test solution (SAS) from Keysight Technologies supports
the largest number of tests for Tier-1 operator device acceptance programs and has
been proven to cut device test time by 60% compared to performing similar tests in the
field. SAS was the first testing product of its kind on the market for evaluating signal and
data performance of new devices, and has remained the solution of choice for the Top-10
device manufacturers and Tier-1 mobile operators. Users prefer SAS because of its
simple, intuitive graphical interface and cutting-edge functionalities and test cases.
SAS provides an efficient platform for mobile device evaluation based on the test
requirements of major mobile operators, who validate tests supported by SAS as part
of their device acceptance programs. Most SAS acceptance tests are developed and
maintained by Keysight in the form of script packages. SAS offers the broadest test
coverage device acceptance programs for Tier-1 mobile operators including AT&T,
Telefónica, T-Mobile (USA), Verizon and China Mobile. Mobile operators use SAS and
these scripts to verify that a device complies with their specific specifications in a
repeatable and controllable environment.
Efficiently test current and future functionality
SAS provides a user-friendly environment to test key functionalities and new features,
including those not yet implemented in the network. It also enables you to test ‘what
if’ scenarios, which are tests that cannot be performed in the live network. As a state-
of-the-art solution, SAS focuses on the needs of the mobile operator, enabling them to
bring in the latest features of LTE and LTE-Advanced. These include Carrier Aggregation
of up to five carriers as well as early voice testing of LTE devices using advanced EVS
codecs and other VoLTE features.
SAS offers a single testing framework for all major 3GPP technologies (LTE/LTE-A,
HSPA+, WCDMA, EGPRS, GPRS and GSM). It is extensively used for both operator-vali-
dated LTE/LTE-A FDD/TDD data performance testing and for LTE-focused CDMA2000
and TD-SCDMA inter-technology testing. Its support for LTE-Advanced complies with
operator requirements and leads the market with its support of high throughput verifica-
tion driven by multiple carrier aggregation.
Key benefits of using SAS
–– Enhance device quality and
end-user experience
–– Accelerate evaluation and
launches of new devices
–– Significantly reduce device
verification costs
