K2Air for Monitoring LTE Networks

K2Air LTE Uu Monitoring Probe
ss7 testing

With the intelligence in the LTE radio network situated on the edge of the network in the eNodeB, traditional wireline monitoring tools are no longer capable of providing the deep dive insight into radio network element behavior and RF performance necessary for effective system integration and verification activities. Tektronix Communications, continuing in its role as the unparalleled innovator of emerging mobile technology performance monitoring and troubleshooting solutions, meets these new challenges by complementing the existing LTE test tool suite with the K2Air air interface probe. The K2Air air interface probe provides real-time, promiscuous mode, air interface monitoring capabilities via CPRI and is seamlessly integrated into the Network & Service Analyzer" (NSA") to provide vendor and carriers alike with a 360ï°, end-to-end view of LTE network and services.
