Location-based services (LCS) hold out considerable promise as a valuable revenue generator for wireless carriers. Their extension beyond the realms of the emergency services and into the commercial arena looks set to open up a significant opportunity for wireless carriers to provide their subscribers with value-added applications and services utilizing location-based functionality. Consequently time-to-market and cost-to-market are critical while development complexity is further increased with the addition of A-GPS functionality. To address the rapidly emerging market for A-GPS based devices, while continuing to reduce time-to-market and the need for costly field trials, Aeroflex has created a fully integrated A-GPS test solution based on its well-proven 6103 AIME and 6103 AIME/CT mobile handset test systems. Allowing repeatable, deterministic and automated testing within a lab based environment. The 6103 AIME system and Navigation Laboratories L1 GPS simulator are a fully integrated solution, providing both the cellular and GPS RF output coupled through a combiner within the GPS rack. The rack, as well as housing the GPS simulator, also provides either a single connection to a combined GSM/GPS connection or separate RF connections to the device's GPS receiver and the GSM antenna. 12
