Anite Delivers First-to-Market TD-LTE Protocol Test Solutions for Mobile Devices

Leading Manufacturers Choose Testing Platform To Accelerate Development Of The First Devices

FLEET, England, February 16 - Anite, a global leader in testing technology for the wireless industry,
today announced the industry's first protocol test solution for TD-LTE
devices. The Anite solution is already helping to push forward pioneering
implementations of TD-LTE. 4G chip maker Sequans Communications is utilising
Anite's Development Toolset to test the chips and USB dongles for the first
trial TD-LTE (Long Term Evolution for TDD spectrum) network at the World Expo
2010 in Shanghai.

"The Chinese mobile operator market is driving TD-LTE technology forwards
at tremendous speed," said Paul Beaver, 3GPP Business Unit Director, Anite.
"The schedule it is setting for the trials and deployment of TD-LTE is
throwing down the gauntlet to manufacturers to deliver the user equipment
that will showcase the performance of the new networks. By providing the
first protocol testing solution, we're helping manufacturers to stay ahead,
accelerating the rate of development and speeding device time to market."

"Sequans aims to be at the heart of LTE. Anite is helping us stay in
front by speeding time to market for our LTE chipset and protocol stack
development," said Bertrand Debray, VP of Engineering, Sequans
Communications. "Anite's Development Toolset offers great flexibility -
providing the means to emulate the behaviour of an eNodeB as we verify the
performance of chipset designs, but also helping us to assess compliance with
the TD-LTE standard."

Pressure to bring devices to market sooner places a greater emphasis on
testing that helps to verify designs, identify and resolve errors at each
stage of development. Anite's Development Toolset provides a single solution
to facilitate an integrated test process - starting with pre-silicon and
software-only protocol development tools that help developers test designs
before the final chipset hardware is ready, through to advanced development
tools to aid design-verification testing in target hardware.

Anite's Development Toolset builds upon a common software core that is
shared by all of Anite's protocol test solutions. This modular approach means
that today's achievements with TD-LTE will also accelerate the availability
of Anite's test solutions for later phases of testing, such as conformance
and interoperability testing, and which will be required to make the
commercial deployment of TD-LTE a success.
