“With TETRA Air Interface Encryption being implemented into more TETRA networks, it has become an issue to maintain TETRA mobile stations on a base station simulator such as a radio test set. The new Auto-Test II option overcomes this problem by using the radios in an engineering or service mode, controlled by the 3920 Digital Radio Test Set. Aeroflex has implemented this solution in close cooperation with leading OEMs. We ensure the test steps and limits are fully in line with service requirements,” said Tom Riedl, Aeroflex product manager, Ismaning, Germany.
“Modern TETRA terminals are the best equipment made for professional use, but they are used in very harsh environments. Regular maintenance using the Aeroflex 3920 with Auto-Test II ensures that faulty radios are detected before their failure has any serious impact on user safety,” Riedl said.
The new option for the 3920 Digital Radio Test Set enables a fast and reliable test. It ensures the lowest possible downtime of radios. With the intuitive user interface it is also possible to have an easy-to-use test set in the field with low test uncertainty.
