LBS is a growing market segment involving determining the location of a mobile device for either emergency services applications (E911, eCall, ERA-Glonass) or commercial applications such as social media, RCS, mapping and geo-based advertising. Increasingly sophisticated smartphones, high-speed data rates via LTE and consumer demand for ‘always-on’ interaction means that the number and type of LBS applications will expand massively over the coming years.
Rohde & Schwarz offers a wide range of testing solutions for all aspects of LBS testing, including protocol conformance, minimum performance and OTA. Applicable from development and production to installation, the solutions support the positioning techniques and protocols deployed by mobile network operators.
