4G 5G UE Simulator
A UE Simulator software able to simulate a large number of LTE, LTE-M, NB-IOT including NTN, RedCap and 5G NR including NTN UEs sharing the same spectrum. Technical doc
The Amarisoft UE simulator stands as an optimal solution for facilitating functional and performance testing in 4G networks. Operating as a 3GPP compliant LTE, LTE-M, and NB-IOT UE, it excels in simulating numerous UEs concurrently within the same spectrum.
The AMARI UE Simbox emulates multiple UEs supporting LTE and LTE-A.
The AMARI UE Simbox emulates multiple UEs supporting LTE-M.
The AMARI UE Simbox emulates multiple UEs supporting NB-IOT category NB1 and NB2. It also supports Non Terrestrial Network (NTN) NB-IOT.
Depending the AMARI UE Simbox platform, and the eNodeB configuration, it can emulate up to 1000 concurrent active UEs.
Depending on the AMARI UE Simbox platform, and the eNodeB configuration, the product can deliver up to 800 Mbps in downlink and 300 Mbps in uplink.
Intra and Inter eNB handover are supported.
The AMARI UE Simbox can aggregate multiple TDD and FDD LTE cells for high throughput testing.
Thanks to our partner Simnovus add-on, the AMARI UE Simbox support VoLTE.
Selective logging and display of all layers of 3GPP LTE as well as useful graphs and analytic tools. Log example
Extensive WebSocket API allowing to send remote commands to UE Simulator software to ease test automation. Tutorial
Easy configuration thanks to JSON files with example configurations already included in each software release.
Running on top of standard Linux in user space mode allowing easy integration with IP services.
Embedded traffic generator provides a controlled environment for reproducible results as well as a variety of traffic types such as TCP, UDP and HTTP.
On the downlink side, depending on the simulated UE path loss, the channel simulator modifies the PER of PDSCH and PDCCH and updates measured RSRP/CQI and modifies the uplink signal level accordingly. Tutorial
Highly optimized software supporting multiple UEs and cells
Early access to 3GPP features for rapid validation of features under development.
Support of a wide range of FDD and TDD frequency bands even nonstandard ones. Tutorial

AMARI PCIe SDR 2x2 is a software defined radio (SDR) card using AD9361 2x2 RF transceiver. It supports MIMO 2x2, FDD and TDD operations in any frequency between 500 MHz and 6GHz. It has an integrated GPS for precise time and frequency synchronization. The cards can be easily chained thanks to a provided cable allowing clock and PPS propagation in between the cards. This will facilitate testing of higher MIMO layers and carrier aggregation. The total bandwidth of the card is 56 MHz, and its output power is around 0 dBm depending on the used frequency. The card requires at least gen 2 PCIe slot. This RF is used in AMARI Callbox Mini, AMARI Callbox Classic and AMARI UE Simbox LTE Series products.

The software employed across all AMARI UE Simbox Series products remains uniform. The key distinctions among the Simboxes arise from variations in hardware specifications, including CPU power and the number and type of SDRs. These variances result in differences in capacity, encompassing factors such as the number of cells, cell bandwidth, MIMO layers, and the quantity of emulated UEs. Specifically, the AMARI UE Simbox LTE Series is purpose-built for LTE eNodeB testing and offers five different variants to support 1, 64, 128, 256, or 1000 UEs.
