Radio Modules
Narrow band radio modules• Performance similar to commercial (aka real) UEs
• Each module only supports two specific bands
• Suitable for OTA testing (e.g. drive testing)
Multi-band radio modules (MBR) • Can support any radio frequency 400MHz – 4GHz
• New LTE-U radio card 400MHz - 6GHz
• New Compact Radio Card (C-MBR)
• Consequently can support any LTE band currently specified or to be specified in the future.
* Only suitable for testing in a lab environment with direct cabled connections to the
eNodeB under test
Currently TM500 can support 2 or 3 radio cards per chassis.

Fast integration of new applications that appear in the market• D500 Support of 6 TM500 (6 different testers) maximize return on investment.
Realism in the lab• Simulations of thousands of UEs distributed across cells with mobility and real data applications replicates real
world in the lab.
• Mobility & Channel models is a TM500 option
DiversifEye500 “Per flow” architecture• Enables performance measurements for every emulated client or end point on per application basis
Thresholding capability• For quick exposure of issues in a large system
• Makes it possible to identify issues in a large load system
