Spirent introduces entry-Level Multi-GNSS simulator

Telecom Lead America: Test and measurement company
Spirent Communications has introduced its new GSS6300M Multi-GNSS simulator.

The company said that the new simulator is designed
for integration, verification and production testing where a quick and accurate
functional test is needed. Also, the platform supports simulation of signals
from individual or combined GPS/SBAS, GLONASS and Galileo constellations, with
eight satellites per constellation.

 

The GSS6300M is designed for customers who want an
affordable, easy-to-use multi-GNSS test system with the quality, reliability
and support that is expected from Spirent. The GSS6300M enables testing of
fundamental receiver functionality including time to first fix, sensitivity and
accuracy,” said Rahul Gupta, product manager with Spirent’s Positioning
Technology business.

 

The GSS6300M supports two modes of operation that are
integrated into an Automated Test Equipment (ATE) environment or using
Spirent’s powerful SimCHAN software.

 

For automated operation, the GSS6300M can be
synchronised with other equipment and controlled remotely over Ethernet,
IEEE-488 (GPIB) or RS232 interfaces. The SimCHAN software interface supplied
with the GSS6300M enables the user to create unlimited scenarios and specify
parameters such as user position, date and time. Both modes support precise
user control over power level and atmospheric effect selection.

 

The company added that its GSS6300M is now available for
order. A field upgrade pack is available for existing Spirent GSS6300 customers
who want to leverage the multi-channel capabilities of the GSS6300M.

 

Spirent incorporates Epitiro technology

 

Recently, Spirent Communications selected Epitiro as
its technology partner. Now, Epitiro’s technology will be incorporated into
the Spirent Test Center Live solution.

 

The company said that the integration of technologies
will provide IP network performance measurements from mobile smartphones and
fixed line computers.
