Rohde & Schwarz thus offers a compact solution for reproducible end-to-end functional tests and standard- compliant conformance tests of eCall and ERA-Glonass modules. The prescribed conformance tests can be performed with the test solution. Manufacturers and suppliers use these tests to check whether the installed modem properly initiates an emergency call in the event of a motor vehicle accident, correctly acquires the relevant data and sends it via the mobile network, and is able to establish a voice connection to the PSAP. Test houses and vehicle manufacturers use this solution for type approvals and for other tests requiring the emulation of mobile networks, such as location- independent testing of a car telephone. This market-first certification of an eCall test solution by an independent body demonstrates that Rohde & Schwarz is an extremely reliable partner for the automobile industry – the majority of leading global OEMs use the R&S CMW500 wideband radio communication tester and rely on the field-proven Rohde & Schwarz test solution. Currently the company is also developing test features for the next generation eCall over LTE system and making the corresponding solution fit for the future and for testing new vehicle telematics units. Along with eCall, Rohde & Schwarz supports the automobile industry with test solutions for e.g. V2X communications (from a vehicle to other users). The technical basis The R&S CMW-KA094 application software specifically developed for eCall is based on the R&S CMW500 platform in combination with the R&S SMBV100A GNSS simulator. The software simulates a PSAP and controls the R&S CMW500, which emulates a mobile network in the lab. It also controls the GNSS simulator, which provides the position data of the accident location. The R&S SMBV100A additionally supports the GNSS receiver performance tests in accordance with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/79 Annex VI. The eCall test solution can be fully automated with the R&S CMWrun sequencer software for further conformance

Anritsu offers World’s First LTE Category M Turnkey Measurement Solution for Lowering Costs of Mass Produced NB- IoT Devices Software Options for MT8870A Universal Test Set provide automated measurement solution for testing and evaluating RF TRx characteristics. Anritsu Corporation has announced a LTE Category M software release for the Universal Wireless Test Set MT8870A to support RF tests of LTE Category M devices. The release includes Category M FDD Uplink Tx measurement software (MX887065A), Category M FDD Downlink Waveform files (MV887065A) and Fully Automatic Measurement Program, providing fast and automatic testing (Tx power, frequency, modulation accuracy, modulation sensitivity, etc.) in accordance with the 3GPP LTE Category M RF test specifications. LTE Category M, a Cellular IoT standard included in LTE-Advanced Pro, is a wireless technology based on License Band LPWA in parallel with NB-IoT. As well as anticipated smart city and freight tracking applications, it is expected to be adopted by emergency warning systems due to its support for voice communications. But a key issue for a smooth rollout of the service is
