Spirent Tests GPSSpirent Tests GPS

LONDON -- Spirent Communications announced today the release of the first commercially-available single-source solution for automated testing of GSM and WCDMA handsets that support Assisted GPS (A-GPS) location technology. Spirent’s new product, UMTS Location Test System (ULTS), builds on Spirent’s location test expertise, gained through global leadership in GPS simulation solutions for receiver performance evaluation and through the market-leading Spirent Position Location Test System (PLTS) for CDMA.

"ULTS widens our capabilities in the analysis of location technology performance," states Richard Catmur, wireless business development director at Spirent Communications. "Thorough evaluation and qualification of this new capability in mobile devices is critical for successful deployment. As we did in the CDMA marketplace with our PLTS solution, we are offering our GSM and UMTS customers a platform to help assure the A-GPS performance of their mobile devices before they get to market."
