Anite Releases Tier-1 LTE Operator Script Package to Speed up LTE Device Time-to-Market

FLEET, England, March 22, 2010 - Anite, a global leader in testing technology for
the wireless industry, today announced the release of its first LTE operator
acceptance script package. The release of CAS (Carrier Acceptance Scripts)
V5.0 constitutes a significant LTE device testing milestone as this is the
first package to support the LTE device acceptance requirements of a major
network operator.

Major operators consider Interoperability Testing (IOT) in the lab as
essential in verifying that new devices will deliver the anticipated mobile
user experience. Today, the largest number of tests for 2G and 3G operator
acceptance programmes are run on SAS, Anite's leading network simulator
solution. The powerful and cost-effective means of network simulation is now
being considered for LTE device interoperability, and CAS V5.0 is the first
Anite script package released to support LTE operator acceptance tests.

CAS V5.0 uses SAS LTE and the Anite 9000 Mobile Test Accelerator to help
identify and resolve device interoperability issues early in the testing
cycle, to ensure that the LTE user experience will live up to customer
expectations. The CAS V5.0 scripts support the formalised LTE device test
requirements of a major, multi-technology, network operator. The scripts have
been written using the intuitive SAS LTE graphical interface, consequently
they are easy to understand and run. Furthermore, these scripts have already
been used to test LTE devices currently available from leading UE
manufacturers.

"Interest in LTE is growing, and Anite is at the forefront of LTE device
testing," says Richard Jacklin, IOT Product Group Manager, Anite. "Using SAS,
the industry-leading 3GPP IOT solution, Anite's 2G/3G operator acceptance
script packages have helped our customers reduce device approval times by
more than 50%. The new CAS package is based on the same 'winning formula' to
accelerate LTE device time-to-market. This is another proof of the
competitive advantage that Anite's LTE testing solutions provide to our
customers."
