1. A method comprising:
selecting a reference unit for Over-The-Air (OTA) testing of a wireless device, the wireless device having a plurality of antennas supporting a plurality of protocols at a plurality of frequencies;
wherein the selecting comprises:
responsive to conducting one or more tests for a plurality of test items on a plurality of units via an OTA testing station, collecting test result values for each of the plurality of test items;
calculating a sum of all errors for each of the units, wherein the errors represent a deviation from an average result for each of the test items;
determining a unit which exhibits a lowest sum value of all of the errors, wherein the unit is determined as a reference unit for calibrating the OTA testing station;
testing the wireless device with the calibrated OTA testing station;
configuring the wireless device based on the testing via the calibrated OTA testing station, the configuration enabling modification of the connectivity of the wireless device.
