Cobham Wireless 2201R GSM-R mobile tester

Cobham Wireless has launched the 2201R mobile tester, designed to test railway GSM-R communications systems.

The tester is lightweight and portable, allowing railway network operators and suppliers of GSM-R radios and modems to validate the correct operation of the radios either in the laboratory or in the field. The same Lector software that provides full access to all features when creating test scripts in the laboratory enables the same scripts to be run, using the Autotest feature, in the locomotive cab.

A replacement for the previous-generation 4202R tester, the product connects directly to GSM-R device types, including high-powered Class 2 radios. With an easy-to-use interface, it also provides fast RF measurements and comes with a full range of features, including voice, data and SMS testing. It also features optional battery operation with up to 2.5 h life. With the handles at each corner and the battery located on the rear panel, it can be unclipped for easy field replacement.
