Cellular Network Emulator: Overview

The MAXEYE Technologies MWT100/200 Cellular Network Emulator is a universal wireless signaling tester for validation of various RF and wireless standards including cellular standards (4G LTE/5G NR), Connectivity standards ( WLAN and Bluetooth), Audio, Video and Navigation Broadcast standards ( AM/FM/RDS/DAB/DVB/ISDB-T/GNSS). MWT 100/200 cellular network emulator is a complete integrated solution that supports parallel testing of multiple User Equipments (UEs) or mobile devices compared to the traditional single UE testing, adding significant advantages in improving test performance.

The MAXEYE Technologies MWT100/200 wireless test platform offers the support for the latest 4G LTE and 5G NR features, making it ideal for testing mobile devices such as smart phones, tablets, automotive infotainment, telematics, eCockpit and many other devices. For smoother testing and faster debugging, the MWT 100/200 Basestation emulator presents various statistics to users to measure performance and validate the functionality. An extensive log is also made available for each protocol layer within the basestation. This can expedite testing and measurement at every stage of the product development from design to deployment.
