SOFTWARE / SYSTEM DESIGN NEW PRODUCTS & SERVICES Aeroflex Reduces LTE Mobile Test Times For Service Centers Aeroflex Limited has announced that the latest upgrade to its Lector software provides improvements in the speed of mobile device RF tests in service centers. Lector 7 software achieves a remarkable doubling in LTE test speed for a range of mobile devices. Test times for a reference multi-band mobile device* using the Aeroflex 7100 LTE Digital Radio Test Set with Lector 7 have been improved by an average of 53 percent. It now takes 3 minutes 5 seconds to complete the full set of LTE tests with Lector 7 as compared with 6.5 minutes with the previous version, Lector 6.83. For a full test script covering multiple 2G/3G/4G bands, test time is reduced from 10 minutes to less than six minutes, a saving of more than 40 percent in test time. The 2G/3G/4G final tests were performed using a 7100 for LTE and an Aeroflex 4400 Mobile Phone Tester for 2G/3G, although a 2201 Service Tester can also be used in place of the 4400. "Speed of test is a critical factor in high volume service centers," said Roger Perry, product manager at Aeroflex. "The substantial reductions in overall test time achieved with Lector 7 reinforce the cost-saving advantages service centres can achieve when using Aeroflex solutions for testing mobile devices." *Using a European version of a popular Android smartphone as device under test.
