Spirent's Nigel Wright talking with RCR Wireless News about how Spirent provides wireless solutions testing solutions in two main areas:
1) "Device testing space where we emulate the entire network to test performance of devices particularly in network operator acceptance"
2) "Performance of latest LTE Smart Phones and applications running on devices (IMS and VOLTE)"
How? Complete Network in a box for LTE network with multiple cell and complete IMS core that allows them to reproduce issues found in the field.
Major challenges faced by carriers include early interoperability issues and performance challenges over the air with Mimo across multiple bands.
