TM500 TM N e t w o r k Te s t e r
The TM500 is the industry standard network test platform, used by all the major infrastructure vendors worldwide to validate their networks under realistic usage and loading scenarios.
Enabling true end-to-end data generation and analysis
Measure the complete performance of the network
“the speed of technological developments demand
test
solutions to continually evolve�
The TM500 can be regarded as the de facto standard for network testing via RF. The TM500 validates networks by simulating mobile devices connecting to the network under test. The TM500 family is based on a common highly conďŹ gurable hardware platform, for testing eNodeBs and network functionalities, performance and capacity.
It has the ability to connect to tens of base station sectors, emulating tens of thousands of mobile devices and modelling real RF channel conditions. Using advanced mobility models and real-world user data applications to create true ‘end-to-end’ scenarios and validate the network performance as experienced by end users.
By continuing to innovate when it comes to new features, the TM500 continues to stay ahead of market need, empowering network operators to prove network performance under real-life usage conditions before the availability of actual device hardware.
Enabling improved delivery time, performance & quality
Features and Advantanges Test Scenarios A set of core test case scenarios allows the user to assess the performance of network features within a loaded network environment. The TM500 supports multiple real stateful data applications enabling true end-to-end data generation and analysis per emulated mobile device. Test cases can easily be configured for thousands of application data flows, and allocated to different mobile device groups with different traffic profiles.
User Operation The design, scheduling and analysis of complex test cases is made easy via an intuitive graphical user interface. Test scenarios managing thousands of mobiles having individual mobility and data applications profiles can quickly be created and executed within a drag-and-drop environment. Upon test completion, measurements and KPIs canbe viewed or exported to third party tools for post processing and advanced analysis.
Real Data Services The TM500 Family supports multiple real stateful data applications enabling true end-to-end data generation and analysis per emulated mobile device. Test cases can easily be configured for thousands of application data flows and allocated to different mobile device groups with different traffic profiles. Performance KPIs and Statistics To enable complete performance analysis, the system produces a comprehensive set of measurement logs, KPIs and protocol metrics during and after each test case run.
