REMOTE TEST UNITS
 FOR  
TEMS
 AUTOMATIC
The next generation of autonomous test units has 
arrived. The RTU contains multiple test devices. 
The unit is smaller, more powerful, and more ro-
bust than our previous mobile test units, with 
support for up to three embedded measurement 
devices. They support voice and data for GSM/
GPRS/EDGE, WCDMA R99, and HSPA, including 
AMR-WB.
Small and durable, the new Remote Test Units can be deployed nearly any-
where. They fit well in taxis, buses, trains, delivery trucks, and even on ships 
and ferries. For fixed testing, they can be easily deployed in public areas 
such as airports, offices, and shopping centers. It is even possible to stack 
RTUs for even more flexibility.
Comprehensive service and network information is collected by the 
RTUs. Because they are powerful as well as easily deployed, the RTUs allow 
TEMS Automatic to perform a wide range of valuable tasks: benchmarking, 
optimization, quality assurance monitoring, and service performance 
monitoring are among them.
The RTUs have advanced autonomous operation and are controlled 
remotely from the TEMS Automatic back-end server. The timing, location, 
and type of testing can be configured in this way. Even software and firm-
ware upgrades can be performed remotely. 
The RTU can be configured together with one Transceiver Test Unit 
(TTU), which is a small boxed solution containing a Sierra Wireless MC8700 
embedded module that is mounted to the RTU itself. An external scanner, 
either a Scanning Receiver Unit (SRU), a PC-Tel EX or PC-Tel EX mini (also 
mounted on the RTU) is also available. 
The RTU itself holds up to three embedded measurement devices 
(Ericsson F3607gw and, or Sierra Wireless MC8700), an 8 slot SIM switch, and 
a dedicated data upload modem, together with a GPS. The RTU operates 
without a fan, which represents an important enhancement, particularly for 
in-building deployment as a fixed test unit.
