FLEET, England, June 6, 2011 -

Chipset manufacturers can substantially reduce the cost, risk and time
invested in developing new designs for wireless devices through the use of
host-based testing, states Anite, a global leader in wireless device testing
technology. Host-based Multi-RAT test solutions allow chipset software
implementations to be tested in a PC environment, prior to silicon
integration.

Anite's customers have been able to reduce test and development time by
around 70%. The latest release of Anite's Development Toolset is unique in
supporting pre-silicon multi-RAT testing in a host environment.

"Testing in a host environment is already giving some manufacturers the
edge that others lack, with some of our customers claiming to have achieved
over 70% time savings during software development" said Paul Beaver, Product
Director at Anite. "Where a host approach isn't taken, testing is conducted
on a target device - where the protocol software is integrated into the
silicon. If there are any errors found at this stage the costs of re-spinning
the silicon is very high and very time consuming. Each re-spin of a chipset
typically takes four to six weeks. With wireless devices being developed
faster - sometimes in a matter of months - these delays would directly impact
a chipset manufacturer's bottom line and damage the reputation of the device
manufacturers they supply by delaying the launch of their new devices."

"Anite leads this market by offering the only host-based testing solution
that supports multi-RAT testing. The latest release of Anite's Development
Toolset (DT) with our host platform, SAT(H) provides a complete host test
environment for all multi-RAT test needs, supporting both LTE FDD and TDD
bands," he continued.

The ability to provide multi-RAT protocol stack testing, allows for LTE,
3G and 2G tests to be performed through a single solution and in a host
environment.

Anite's Development Toolset (DT) is a comprehensive suite of tools which
support all phases of wireless terminal development, from pre-silicon
protocol module development through to systems integration and verification.
Used by the majority of leading chipset manufacturers worldwide and with an
extensive LTE technology roadmap and a high level of flexibility and control
in test creation, DT allows manufacturers to test according to their distinct
specifications.
