Spirent Communications plc has announced that its UMTS Location Test System (ULTS)  is now able to validate all assisted-GPS (AGPS) test standards by providing a single test platform that runs all the validated A-GPS test cases required by the Global Certification Forum (GCF) and the PCS Type Certification Review Board (PTCRB).

With the recent validations of the 3GPP TS 51.010 GSM Signalling Test Cases, Spirent ULTS now supports validated WCDMA and GSM test cases from 3GPP Standards TS 34.171, TS34.123 and TS 51.010, as well as the OMA SUPL V1.0 ETS.

In addition to conformance testing, the Spirent ULTS offers users the possibility to test the AGPS RF performance in challenging simulated environments, such as urban canyons and deep indoors. The test system incorporates a 12-channel GPS simulator based on technology developed by Spirent Positioning.
