Málaga, Spain -- Centro de Tecnología de las Comunicaciones, S.A. (CETECOM),
in Spain, has just launched its newest platform for conformance testing,
MINT T1140-2G, a technological evolution of the well-known MINT family
of test systems, and the first RF conformance test system covering all
of GCF defined test cases for E-GPRS (chapters 13.17.x and 14.18.x of
51.010).
MINT T1140 is a Phase 2+ radio frequency test system based on the
self-developed CETECOM signalling unit MINT E1121, a very powerful base
station emulator which includes baseband fading capabilities, thus
reducing the amount of equipment needed in the system and improving the
overall performance. MINT E1121 hardware is capable of supporting more
than 4+4 slots in E-GPRS mode, providing a clear evolution path to MINT
users and a powerful tool for leading handset manufacturers. |

MINT T1140-2G is a quad-band simulator covering GSM, GPRS, E-GPRS, AMR
and DARP conformance test cases for both GCF and PTCRB certification
schemes, and can be easily upgraded to cover UMTS test cases. The system
is also very modular, allowing different configurations to meet every
testing need, not only conformance, but also R&D.
Andres Moreno, Telecoms Director at CETECOM Spain commented “After a
couple of years in the market with our highly recognised MINT system now
we have been able to launch the most powerful, modular and complete
system for 2G testing. Having developed our own signalling unit with
baseband fading capabilities will allow us to support features not
covered at the moment by any other supplier and make MINT the reference
platform in this market. Industry has been expecting this product for
some time and finally is here”.
