IQcell-5G Signaling Callbox Test Solution

5G NR FR1 & FR2 Test Solution

IQcell-5G is a simplified 5G signaling test solution designed for end-of-line manufacturing, software regression & functional performance testing.

Purpose built to validate RF parametric measurements, end-to-end throughput, MIMO, mobility, and user experience testing across cellular and cellular capable connectivity devices such as smartphones, CPE’s, laptops, tablets, hotspots & much more.

RF parametric verification to assure fundamental call connectivity & reliability

Perform in-channel transceiver measurements such as power, EVM, carrier leakage, directly impacting radio link continuity, device call registration, data upload-download, mobility and much more
Active antenna pattern measurements in addition to total radiated power (TRP), total isotropic sensitivity (TIS) testing, to determine transmission reliability, receiver sensitivity & hardware signal quality

Ensure quality of service with BLER, throughput & MIMO test

End-to-end data throughput with a built-in iPerf server
FR1 multicarrier MIMO support with up to 2 CC 4×4 MIMO & 4 CC 2×2 MIMO configuration
Receiver sensitivity and physical layer error estimation with block error rate (BLER) measurements

Software regression to ensure repeatable & stable UE performance

Daily/Weekly regression of critical metrics such as RF parametric, throughput, handover across varied bands, bandwidths, power levels, modulation scheme, etc.
Simple and efficient way to evaluate the impact of SW changes on essential HW characteristics
Ideal for finished product quality check, multi-SKU validation and HW & SW prototyping

Validate end-user satisfaction with user experience test

Coverage for real world scenario test such as MO/MT call, SMS, file transfer, audio loopback, web browsing, to ensure final product performs as expected in consumer hands
Idle & connected mode mobility test across 5G & LTE to validate seamless interoperability and connectivity
Functional verification of multiple SIM’s and remote provisioning & testing of embedded SIM’s (eSIM)

Increased production throughput with multi-cell, multi-device architecture

Support for up to four independent FR1 cells providing four times higher test capacity ideal for a high-volume production environment
Lower cost of test with support for up to 32 UEs in OTA test environment
Smaller footprint with built-in iPerf server eliminates the need for an external server PC
Reduced manufacturing test & development time with IQfact-s automation tool enabling execution of essential RF parametric & throughput test cases

Modular architecture with flexible design to accommodate changing test needs

Modular architecture & licensing model facilitates support for either or both FR1 and FR2 frequency range
Flexible design allows easy transition from standalone (SA) to non-standalone (NSA) mode by simply adding an optional LTE anchor
Optional support for legacy cellular technologies – WCDMA and GSM

Reduced test flow development and execution time

Built-in web-based GUI enables real time RF parametric measurements, visualization, and analysis
IQfact-s automation test tool enables easy customization & development of test flows for hardware/ software regression under varied conditions, such as bands, bandwidths, modulation schemes, power levels, etc.
