Richardson, TX –– Anritsu Company announces that its ME7834L Mobile Terminal Test Platform has been certified by Softbank as an approved test system for its mobile terminals. With the certification, the ME7834L supports all Softbank-approved communications protocol tests at test houses. The ME7834L is a world-leading test system with 100% verification.

The ME7834L supports both the GCF requirements, as well as Softbank’s in-house protocol tests, enabling certification tests of LTE/UMTS smartphones, tablets, Wi-Fi routers, and other products delivered to Softbank. Acceptance tests at test houses are required to verify interoperability between mobile terminals and Softbank’s network.

The ME7834L system platform includes the MD8430A Signaling Tester to simulate a base station, as well as an external PC with SIDE software for controlling the MD8430A to automatically run test scenarios. Approximately 40 companies worldwide are now using more than 400 of this popular SIDE software. The ME7873F and ME7873L Anritsu RF Conformance Test Systems also support RF tests run by Softbank-approved test houses.

Along with certification testing, Anritsu's full lineup of test solutions plays a key role in developing devices such as smartphones, tablets, Wi-Fi routers, and communications modules, as well as in supporting communications services, such as assured signal quality and network installation and maintenance.

Anritsu will continue partnering Softbank’s newest technology rollouts with the latest test solutions.
