spirent octoBox SHIELDED AND OvEr-tHE-AIr DEvIcE tEStINg Spirent octoBox is an RF isolation chamber and portable anechoic (non-echoing) chamber that serves as the test bed for wireless testing in R&D, QA and production tests. Design is optimized for stable and repeatable Over-The-Air (OTA) or conducted testing of Cellular 2G/3G/LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS Devices. ApplicAtions • Mobile Device Design & Testing • Multi Device Testing (Multiple Phones) • Cellular Testing (2G, 3G, LTE) • A-GPS Location Testing • Wi-Fi Testing (802.11n, 802.11ac) octoBox offers a robust architecture that makes it easy to place test equipment, mount devices under test and connect high frequency instrumentation and test bed fixtures. Mounted on a base with casters, octoBox chambers can be stacked and effortlessly wheeled around the lab. Multiple devices or multiple radios in a device under test (DUT) can be tested simultaneously via stable OTA coupling inside the octoBox chambers. WHY spiREnt octoBox? • Modern Design for Wireless Devices – supports wide frequency range from 700 MHz to 6 GHz and provides a flexible antenna mounting system that can accommodate almost all mainstream wireless devices. Spirent octoBox is ideal for testing multi-radio gadgets, such as smartphones and tablets that now support 2G/3G/LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS radios in a single device, making OTA coupling necessary. • stable & Repeatable testing – supports repeatable and accurate OTA coupling by providing superior isolation, absorption and filtering of data and power lines entering the chamber. • High isolation – novel patent-pending octoBox filters maintain high isolation while conducting copper interfaces such as Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, USB, power and other connections through the walls of the chamber to control and power the DUT. spiREnt octoBox sHiElDED AnD ovER-tHE-AiR DEvicE tEsting spiREnt DiFFEREntiAtoRs Spirent octoBox is a modern design specifically optimized for Unlike competitor’s systems, octoBox specifies isolation OTA signal coupling inside. OTA coupling demands superior with data and power cables attached through the walls of the isolation and anechoic conditions for repeatable and accurate chamber. Thus, the octoBox isolation specification reflects the measurements. quality of the feed-through filters that guide data and power cabling into the chamber. spiREnt DiFFEREntiAtoRs spiREnt octoBox coMpEtitoR A coMpEtitoR B DUt variety Phones Yes Yes thin absorber causing signal reflections; unstable vs. DUt Pads Yes No position Femtocells Yes No Aps Yes No Pcs Yes No cellular radio Support 2g/3g Yes Yes Inadequate absorption and isolation for accurate metrics LtE Yes Limited Bands Wi-Fi Yes (MIMO) Yes Bluetooth Yes Yes gPS Yes Yes Frequency range 700 MHz—6 gHz Limited to gSM900 and Isolation vs. Frequency is gSM1800 unclear Isolation Sufficient to measure rX Yes (80dB) Not specified (45 dB) measured sensitivity OtA?
