<h1>Performing Dual Band functionality tests</h1>

<p>Before introducing Dual Band functionality into the network,
some tests have to be performed to ensure that the basic actions operate without
faults in systems such as <a href="NED?action=retrieve&amp;identifier=general_glossary&amp;edition=13&amp;language=en&amp;coverage=global&amp;encoding=xhtml_1_0&amp;component=data&amp;item=data&amp;pointer=id05084#id05084" onclick="openSmallPopup(event,'NED?action=retrieve&amp;identifier=general_glossary&amp;edition=13&amp;language=en&amp;coverage=global&amp;encoding=xhtml_1_0&amp;component=data&amp;item=data&amp;pointer=id05084#id05084');return false" shape="rect" target="_blank">MOC</a>, <a href="NED?action=retrieve&amp;identifier=general_glossary&amp;edition=13&amp;language=en&amp;coverage=global&amp;encoding=xhtml_1_0&amp;component=data&amp;item=data&amp;pointer=id05083#id05083" onclick="openSmallPopup(event,'NED?action=retrieve&amp;identifier=general_glossary&amp;edition=13&amp;language=en&amp;coverage=global&amp;encoding=xhtml_1_0&amp;component=data&amp;item=data&amp;pointer=id05083#id05083');return false" shape="rect" target="_blank">MTC</a>, <a href="NED?action=retrieve&amp;identifier=general_glossary&amp;edition=13&amp;language=en&amp;coverage=global&amp;encoding=xhtml_1_0&amp;component=data&amp;item=data&amp;pointer=id05515#id05515" onclick="openSmallPopup(event,'NED?action=retrieve&amp;identifier=general_glossary&amp;edition=13&amp;language=en&amp;coverage=global&amp;encoding=xhtml_1_0&amp;component=data&amp;item=data&amp;pointer=id05515#id05515');return false" shape="rect" target="_blank">SMS</a>, cell reselection and different handover strategies

<p>These tests are performed with one dual band BTS as a part
of the system and with single and dual band mobile phones with engineering
functionality (basic functionality tests), or with a bigger configuration
with 2 BSCs and multiple DB cells (operational tests).</p>
