XCAL P8E

Versatile 3-in-1 Benchmarking Platform

XCAL-P8E packages drive test, unattended benchmarking and an in-building test solution into a compact, lightweight and powerful tool.

The P8E can support up to eight mobile phones that can be provisioned to benchmark a range of competitors over all key mobile access technologies like 2G, 3G, LTE and WiMax. Thanks to its lightweight chassis, it can also be easily used in walk tests.

The unique feature of Accuver’s benchmarking solutions is that the user can swap out mobile phones so that only the most current and commercially available phones are used in testing. This is absolutely vital because, ultimately, these tests should be as real to life as possible.
