HKCARD Company | CMU200 & CMW500 Nano Test SIM Card — 2G/3G/4G Testing for Mobile Phone Factories & Labs

Why Your Test SIM Card Choice Actually Matters

If you have ever spent an afternoon chasing a failed call setup on a CMW500 bench, only to discover the SIM card was the problem — you already understand what this page is about.

In high-volume mobile phone manufacturing environments and RF testing laboratories, the test SIM card is one of those components that rarely gets talked about until something goes wrong. Engineers focus on the tester, the DUT, the cables, the shielding box. The SIM sits quietly in the tray and is expected to just work — every single time, across thousands of test cycles, across multiple device models, across 2G, 3G, and 4G network simulations.

HKCARD Company manufactures Nano Test SIM Cards built specifically for that expectation. Compatible with both the Rohde & Schwarz CMU200 and the CMW500 platforms, our test SIM cards are used daily in mobile phone factories, device certification labs, and network testing facilities around the world.

Product Overview: HKCARD Nano Test SIM Card for CMU200 & CMW500

Compatible Test Platforms

Rohde & Schwarz CMU200

The CMU200 remains one of the most widely deployed universal radio communication testers in mobile phone manufacturing lines across Asia, Europe, and beyond. Despite being an older platform, it continues to handle 2G GSM and 3G WCDMA production testing reliably in factories that have not yet migrated to newer equipment.

Our Nano Test SIM Card is fully configured to authenticate against the CMU200 internal network simulation without any additional parameter adjustment. Insert the card, load your test script, and the authentication handshake completes cleanly — first time, every time.

Key CMU200 test scenarios our SIM supports:

• GSM call setup and release — MO and MT call simulation
• WCDMA registration and data bearer — PS and CS domain testing
• Rx/Tx power measurement — accurate RF characterization
• BER and BLER testing — receiver sensitivity validation
• SMS functional testing — end-to-end message flow

Rohde & Schwarz CMW500

The CMW500 Wideband Radio Communication Tester is the industry benchmark for modern mobile device testing. From flagship smartphone certification to IoT module validation, the CMW500 handles it all — but only when the SIM card feeding it the right authentication credentials.

HKCARD’s Nano Test SIM Card for CMW500 supports the full range of CMW500 network simulation modes:

• 2G GSM — voice, SMS, and GPRS/EDGE data testing
• 3G WCDMA/HSPA — CS voice, PS data, HSPA+ throughput testing
• 4G LTE — FDD and TDD configurations, VoLTE call testing, data throughput, handover simulation

The SIM parameters are pre-matched to CMW500 default network simulation profiles, which means your test engineers spend zero time troubleshooting SIM authentication failures and 100% of their time on actual device characterization.

Nano Form Factor — Why It Matters on the Factory Floor

The Nano SIM (4FF) format has become the dominant SIM form factor in modern smartphones. If your production line tests current-generation Android devices, iPhones, or mid-range handsets from any major brand, the DUT almost certainly takes a Nano SIM.

Using the wrong form factor — or a cut-down adapter — introduces unnecessary mechanical risk in high-cycle factory environments. SIM tray damage, poor electrical contact, and intermittent authentication failures all trace back to poor form factor matching.

HKCARD Nano Test SIM Cards are:

• Native 4FF format — no adapters, no cutting, no risk
• Dimensionally precise — fits standard SIM trays without force
• Gold contact plated — consistent electrical contact across thousands of insertions
• Reinforced substrate — resists cracking and delamination in automated handling

For factories running robotic SIM insertion on automated test lines, contact us about our high-cycle durability variants rated for extended production use.

Network Support in Detail

2G GSM Testing

Despite being the oldest technology in the stack, GSM testing still appears in production test plans for a straightforward reason: regulatory requirements and global roaming compliance. Many markets — particularly across Africa, Southeast Asia, and parts of Eastern Europe — still carry active GSM infrastructure.

Our test SIM supports:

• GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz band configurations
• GPRS Class 10 / EDGE data bearer testing
• CS voice call setup on CMU200 and CMW500
• SMS send and receive functional verification

3G WCDMA/HSPA Testing

WCDMA testing on the CMU200 and CMW500 covers both circuit-switched voice and packet-switched data domains. Production lines testing devices with 3G fallback capability — which includes the vast majority of 4G handsets — need a SIM that authenticates cleanly across both 3G and 4G without profile switching.

Our Nano Test SIM handles:

• WCDMA Band I, II, IV, V, VIII and others
• HSPA and HSPA+ data bearer establishment
• CS voice over WCDMA
• Inter-RAT handover scenarios (3G to 4G and back)
• IMS registration over WCDMA for VoLTE fallback testing

4G LTE Testing

This is where the majority of modern production testing time is spent. LTE testing on the CMW500 covers an extensive range of scenarios, and the SIM card must support clean EPS AKA authentication for the test to proceed.

HKCARD Nano Test SIM Cards for LTE support:

• LTE FDD and TDD mode operation
• EPS AKA authentication with Milenage algorithm
• VoLTE / IMS registration and call setup
• LTE data bearer establishment and throughput measurement
• Inter-frequency and inter-RAT handover testing
• Carrier aggregation test scenarios (with appropriate CMW500 licensing)

Who Uses HKCARD Nano Test SIM Cards

📱 Mobile Phone Factories

High-volume production lines testing hundreds or thousands of handsets per day need test SIM cards that are consistent, durable, and zero-maintenance. Our Nano Test SIM Cards ship pre-configured and ready for immediate insertion into your CMU200 or CMW500 test station.

Factories across China, Vietnam, India, and Mexico — where the bulk of global smartphone production is concentrated — use HKCARD test SIM cards in daily production.

🔬 RF & Protocol Testing Laboratories

Lab environments demand flexibility. Engineers need to run edge-case scenarios, reproduce field failures, and validate pre-production firmware builds. Our test SIM cards support the full CMW500 parameter space and can be supplied with custom IMSI, Ki, and OPc configurations for labs with specific authentication requirements.

📋 Device Certification Centers

Carrier acceptance testing and regulatory certification programs require documented, repeatable test conditions. A known-good test SIM is part of that repeatable foundation. HKCARD supplies test SIM cards to certification houses that run GCF, PTCRB, and carrier-specific acceptance test programs.

🛠️ After-Sales Service Centers

Repair and service operations use CMU200 and CMW500 benches for post-repair functional verification. A durable, reliable Nano Test SIM that survives the handling conditions of a busy service center is exactly what HKCARD delivers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will your Nano Test SIM work on my existing CMU200 setup without reconfiguration?
Yes. Our standard configuration is pre-matched to CMU200 default network simulation parameters. No changes to your test equipment setup are required.

Does the same SIM work on both CMU200 and CMW500?
Yes. The authentication parameters are compatible with both platforms. Many factories use the same SIM card across mixed CMU200/CMW500 bench environments.

Can you supply cards with custom Ki and OPc values?
Absolutely. Share your target authentication parameters with us and we will configure the cards accordingly before shipment.

What is the insertion cycle rating?
Our standard Nano Test SIM is rated for several thousand insertion/removal cycles. For fully automated robotic test lines with very high daily cycle counts, ask us about our extended-durability variant.

Do you support LTE Band 28 / Band 41 / other regional bands?
Band support is determined by the CMW500 configuration and the device under test, not the SIM card itself. Our test SIM supports LTE authentication across all bands supported by your CMW500 license.

Can I order a small quantity for evaluation?
Yes. We supply evaluation quantities for engineers who want to validate compatibility before committing to a production order.

How quickly can you ship?
Standard configuration cards ship within 1 to 3 business days. Custom configured orders typically require 5 to 7 business days depending on quantity.
