In 2010 our Test
Fest theme was “LTE”. Although customer expectation and experiences will always remain a critical
focus for the Verizon Wireless Network Device Evaluation Team, with the launch of Long Term Evolution (LTE) in 2010, that
focus needs to cover LTE Performance, as well.. The launch of LTE was extremely successful in 117 markets. In order
continue to provide the best customer experience through the most reliable network in the country, the Network Device Evaluation
team must remain focused on delivering the best 4G experience. This goal will be accomplished by consistently and methodically
Measuring LTE Performance. Verizon
Wireless will lead the way by Measuring of LTE performance during UE-RAN interaction covering the following key aspects: Compliance with clearly defined 3GPP specifications
(TS36.xxx series). Stability of DL receiver sensitivity in measuring of RSRP / SINR
/ RSRQ, taking into consideration of combination of Single/MIMO Antenna reception, potential macro / micro interferences. Stable & proper UE DL CQI / Rank reporting. Accessibility call flow
performance that is consistent and comparable to established VzW performance expectations, in setting up of RRC, Attach, EPS
Bearer with all VzW offered APN, Service Requests. Consistent inter-RAT behavior, which highly
affects user perception of presence & stability of VzW LTE service. Throughput and other associated
performances (BLER / Packet Loss / Latency) measure up to VzW KPI testing requirements under specified RF and loading conditions. Properly obey S1/X2 Handover call flow with RAN, and with consistent performance. Properly obey RAN LTE session control timers (i.e. T3402 / T3412), without generating unexpected & wasteful LTE
session update activities. Properly obey current and upcoming VzW Data Retry and Band 13 UE
requirements, i.e. UL output power & Emission requirements.
Understanding
that Verizon Wireless goal is to launch LTE in 175 additional markets by end of 2011, delivering
highest quality devices will be crucial to the success of this goal. We, at the Verizon Wireless Device Validation lab, need
the support and expertise of all of our device vendors, suppliers, test houses and equipment manufacturers to help
bring products to market that exceed not only lab expectation, but Verizon Wireless customer expectations as well.
We recommend attending Test Fest for the full two days, Wednesday, November 2nd and Thursday, November 3rd.
Sessions will begin promptly at 8:15am EST and end at approximately 5:30pm. The break out sessions will be held on the
second day, Thursday, November 3rd and will begin promptly at 1pm EST and end no later than 4pm.
We look forward to seeing you in November.

The Verizon Wireless Device Evaluation team wants to ensure all vendors get the most benefit from the
conference; therefore, we have some rules that must be adhered to: Vendors must have a current Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with Verizon Wireless and have a valid business
reason to attend Test Fest. Due
to fire capacity limits set forth by the facility, companies will be limited in their number of attendees.
Tickets/Name Badges will be sent out prior to Test Fest. No one will
be admitted into the seminar without a ticket/name badge. Registration for Test Fest will be
done on-line via this website, which has been setup exclusively for Test Fest. Please refer to the left hand
side of the webpage and click on "Registration". Registration will begin on September 12th, 2011
and will end on October 7th, 2011. All display tables must be requested via website and will be pre-assigned.
One display table per vendor. Space is limited so only sign up for a display table if you are going to use it.
Please Note:
Verizon Wireless CPE Lab reserves the right to limit the number of attendees.
