Introduction:
The Anritsu MT8212E Cell Master is a compact handheld base station analyzer. It was specifically developed for cell site technicians. The Anritsu MT8212E will meet virtually all the measurement needs for a cell site of 2G, 3G and WiMAX networks. The Cell Master features over 30 analyzers in one to meet virtually every measurement need. Standard features are:
- Cable and Antenna Analyzer: 2 MHz to 4 GHz
- Spectrum Analyzer: 9 kHz to 4 GHz
- Power Meter: 10 MHz to 4 GHz
Cell site technicians and RF engineers can use the Cell Master MT8212E to accurately and quickly test and verify the installation and commissioning of base stations and cell sites, for optimal wireless network performance. It is equally suited for on-going maintenance and troubleshooting in order to help ensure the operation of wireless network infrastructure.
From Anritsu:
The MT8212E Cell Master™ Base Station Analyzer is the smallest, lightest, and most economical solution for 2G/3G/4G, and WiMAX base station transmitter testing and ISDB-T and DVB-T/H digital broadcast field testing. It’s ideal for installation and commissioning as well as for maintenance and troubleshooting.
This optimal combination of base station test capabilities in one handheld device eliminates the need for several independent test instruments. This reduces the number of tools the user must carry and learn to operate. Whether it’s sweeping cables, making power measurements, finding interference, troubleshooting base station signal quality, or verifying backhaul performance, the Cell Master MT8212E is the ideal all-in-one instrument to help keep your network up and running.
In addition, easyTest Tools™ allows experienced users to Create, Deliver, and Display on-screen work instructions. These work instructions make life easier for less-experienced cable and antenna sweepers. Direct benefits include more accurate testing, repeatable results, and less rework.
