5G SA and RedCap USIM/USAT Testing with COMPRION SIMfony MT8000A

Schematic representation of a 5G COMPRION SIMfony setup with UT³ Platform, Anritsu MT8000 network simulator, and a test device

COMPRION SIMfony MT8000A - the ultimate solution for your 5G SA and RedCap conformance testing needs. Developed to meet the strict standards of GCF and PTCRB, this powerful solution combines the cutting-edge technology of the COMPRION UT³ Platform with the features of the Anritsu 5G Radio Communication Test Station MT8000A.

COMPRION SIMfony MT8000A was developed to provide GCF- and PTCRB-listed 5G SA and RedCap conformance tests from 3GPP TS 31.121 and 3GPP TS 31.124 and is designed to deliver automated testing and accurate results every time. And with its listing at GCF and PTCRB as TP226 "COMPRION UT3 Platform and ANRITSU MT8000A," you can rest assured that this device meets the highest industry standards.

Simple licensing
You can swap out the Anritsu MT8000A hardware without having to go through the hassle of requesting new licenses. All that's required is to install the software packages onto the new Anritsu RTD PC.

Prepare for certification
Prove 2 offers a cost-effective alternative to the UT³ Platform for pre-conformance testing, allowing you to optimize your testing process while ensuring compliance with the required standards, and preparing for certification.

COMPRION UT³ Platform is the universal conformance test platform for contact-based and contactless terminal testing
