Network Synchronisation Testing
In a bid to retain users with high speed video, data and voice services, Network Operators have transitioned to IP/Ethernet backhaul. The day to day success of these services requires a stable and precise frequency reference and precise frequency synchronisation between base stations for successful call signal hand-off between mobile base stations .
GSM and UMTS base stations must hold a carrier frequency accuracy of +- 50 parts per billion over the service life. Slips outside this range cause increased drop outs and poor handovers and impaired data service performance.
Comdate can provide Network Synchronisation Audits of your network that will measure:
-
MTIE ( Maximum Time Interval Error) Measurements
-
Jitter
-
TDEV (Time Deviation) Measurements
-
Long Term Wander Measurements (up to 24 Hours)
and provide a full report within 4 weeks of the measurements.
