ETSI EN 303 345 LTE-R Communication System Testing
The ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) standard EN 303 345 defines the specifications for LTE-R communication systems used in railway communications. This standard is critical for ensuring interoperability, reliability, and performance of communication systems across different railway networks. The primary focus of this service involves testing and certification according to these stringent requirements.
The LTE-R technology forms a crucial backbone in modern railway systems, facilitating the exchange of data between various components such as train control centers, signaling equipment, onboard systems, and ground-based infrastructure. These systems must operate reliably under harsh environmental conditions, high-speed mobility, and stringent electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to ETSI EN 303 345 to ensure that our testing services deliver accurate results aligned with industry standards. We employ state-of-the-art test equipment and follow a rigorous process to simulate real-world scenarios, ensuring that the systems meet all specified performance metrics.
Our expertise lies in providing comprehensive testing solutions for LTE-R communication systems, covering various aspects of compliance with ETSI EN 303 345. This includes:
