The Keysight Technologies (Agilent HP) 8922S is a stand-alone GSM mobile station test set designed for incoming inspection and mobile repair. Featuring a built-in GSM base station emulator and extensive signalling capabilities, it enables comprehensive mobile device testing without auxiliary hardware. Its band coverage can be extended to DCS1800 and PCS1900 when paired with the Agilent 83220A/E frequency extension.
