Anite Takes LTE Data Performance to the Next Level

FLEET, England, July 6, 2011 -

- Best-in-class Solution Adds LTE Device Data Throughput Test
Capability

As LTE promises an enhanced mobile broadband experience, with
data speeds on a par with fixed-line broadband, network operators
and device manufacturers need to consider a comprehensive set of
data throughput tests as part of LTE device acceptance and
evaluation. Anite, the global leader in wireless device testing,
announced today the availability of a new solution - that will
include carrier based scripts for LTE data throughput performance -
to address the need for LTE data performance testing in the
laboratory environment.

The new solution has taken into consideration the data
throughput requirements of major LTE network operators. Anite’s
unique LTE data performance solution is based on SAS (Anite’s
industry-leading network simulator for device interoperability
testing), the Anite 9000 Mobile Test Accelerator platform, and
Azimuth Systems ACE MX advanced channel emulator .  The ACE MX
is architected to meet the needs of OFDM* and MIMO** based wireless
systems in addition to the emulation requirements of 2G/3G systems.
Supporting all industry-standard bands and channel models for LTE,
WiMAX, 2G/3G and Wi-Fi, the ACE MX is renowned for its ease-of-use
and features that support advanced channel modelling and
propagation conditions.

“New mobile devices need to conform to strict industry and
operator specific criteria, and thereby live up to user
expectations when launched, said Paul Beaver, Product Director at
Anite. “With LTE data performance now also under the spotlight
Anite can help ensure that LTE devices will perform as expected and
accelerate their time to market. These new LTE carrier acceptance
scripts offer a cost-effective option for SAS customers who are
also interested in LTE data performance testing.”

“The integration of SAS with ACE MX provides Anite’s customers
with the best-in-class solution for their LTE data performance
testing needs,” says Peter Paglia, Senior Vice President of Field
Operations at Azimuth Systems. “This solution enhances the
consideration of real-world conditions in the laboratory
environment so that customers can test the signalling and data
behaviour of LTE devices in a faster and more cost-efficient
way.”
