TM500 Network Tester

Delivering Network Performance and Capacity
The TM500 Test Mobile family is in use with almost every base station manufacturer across the world, and can be regarded as the de facto standard for network testing via RF.

Overview

The TM500 is a scalable test system for validating network performance as experienced by end users, across multiple cells and different radio access technologies. With integrated data services it is able to measure the complete performance of the network, from RF through to the packet core – this includes interaction with other users, the simulated RF environment and mobility, accurately replicating real-world user behaviour profiles such as web browsing, emails, downloading files, video streaming and Voice over LTE (VoLTE), together with mobility across the radio access network.
