Fully automated mobile device testing delivers a complete solution

Anritsu Corporation has seamlessly incorporated the new COMPRION SIMplifier hardware in its test setup to provide its customers with a fully automated test solution for speeding up and easing GCF/PTCRB conformance and carrier acceptance testing.

The company has integrated the SIMplifier hardware in its ME7834NR 5G NR Mobile Device Test Platform, which MNOs, chipset and mobile device manufacturers employ to conduct network operator carrier acceptance and GCF/PTCRB conformance tests. Physical SIM cards had to be exchanged for these tests to make profile updates.

"By integrating the SIMplifier in our test setup, we save time, simplify configuration changes and unlock total automation to enable our customers to run tests overnight without the need for a test engineer present. In order to contribute to the expansion of the 5G mobile market, we would like to future strengthen our collaborative relationship with COMPRION," says Keiji Kameda, general manager of Mobile Solutions Division at Anritsu Corporation.

The COMPRION SIMplifier is a compact and portable hardware device that aims to enhance the efficiency of mobile device testing by eradicating the manual process of removing and reinserting the SIM card for profile updates. This is accomplished by integrating a PC/SC card reader and a device connector.

Udo Willenbrink, product manager at COMPRION, explains: "The device is specifically designed to optimise productivity and streamline various test procedures such as GCF/PTCRB protocol conformance testing, regression testing and development testing. In addition, it can be seamlessly integrated into existing test systems, offering versatility for a wide range of use cases. We are pleased that the COMPRION SIMplifier meets Anritsu's requirements for full test automation."
