WHAT IS SAS?

SAS is a versatile network simulator solution that enables you to quickly evaluate
mobile devices in the integration or interoperability testing (IOT) phase

• SAS enables you to simulate a

2G/3G/LTE/LTE-A network in the lab

• SAS enables you to simulate TD-SCDMA and

CDMA 2000 networks for LTE focused inter-
technology tests
• SAS offers a broad 2G/3G/LTE/LTE-A test
coverage of major mobile operators’ device
acceptance programmes

• SAS complements the Anite Development

and Conformance Toolsets, using the same
platform
