lte protocol testing test equipment conformance testing telecommunication

This page provides information on LTE protocol test equipment from leading manufacturers. These equipments are primarily used for testing the upper layers/interfaces of LTE devices (eNodeB/UE) with other network elements, adhering to the SAE architecture. This is particularly useful for protocol conformance testing as per the 3GPP TS 36.523 LTE protocol conformance solution (PCT) document.
