Telenor IoT has announced a significant upgrade to its advanced test lab in Karlskrona. With new features and equipment, the lab strengthens its position as a central resource for ensuring optimized IoT solutions for customers worldwide. The upgrade of the test lab, initially introduced in spring 2024, adds several new and improved features that further enhance the flexibility and control of the test environment.
The lab now includes an additional test cell, enabling handover scenarios within Sweden, in addition to the existing capability to test handovers between different countries. More advanced radio capabilities have been integrated into the Telenor Sweden network for more detailed testing. New equipment that can simulate any GPS position in the world has also been integrated. This is crucial for use cases where geographical position is important, allowing for testing in various locations without physical relocation.
Telenor IoT’s test lab is located in Karlskrona, in close collaboration with Telenor Sweden’s and Telenor Linx’s own test labs. This provides immediate access to base stations from all Nordic Telenor operators (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and DNA in Finland) with a simple push of a button. The lab serves as a critical resource for customers to test and verify their IoT solutions and terminals at an early stage, before large-scale rollouts. It also offers a unique opportunity to troubleshoot problems by recreating specific scenarios that are difficult to replicate in the field.
