OULU, Finland and PARIS, May 27, 2010 - EB (Elektrobit), a leading developer of cutting edge embedded
technology solutions for wireless and automotive industries and SATIMO, an
industry leader in electromagnetic field measurements in the microwave
frequency range, announced their partnership on MIMO Over-the-Air (OTA)
testing. The partnership combines the expertise of SATIMO and EB to offer a
test solution that integrates the best performing technologies: multi-probe
spherical measurement geometry, instantaneous calibration of the test system
and high performance radio channel emulator.

"As the end-user performance requirements of new MIMO mobile
devices constantly increase, it introduces new testing challenges for
wireless device manufactures. We are glad to be able to provide a reliable
and easy-to-use solution to the market together with our partner SATIMO" says
Antti Sivula, senior vice president of EB's Wireless Communications Tools
Business.

EB launched industry's first commercially available MIMO OTA
emulator in February 2010. The EB Propsim F8 MIMO OTA emulator can produce
signals in any geometry based channel model for a flexible number of probes.
The emulator is integrated in SATIMO's testing solution, together with a
circular multi-probe arch, an instantaneous calibration unit, an
amplification unit and a radio communication tester. This partnership
provides a fully-operational MIMO OTA testing solution for the Telecom
industry.

"The demand for such a solution has been growing strongly in
the last few months. We are proud to offer thanks to this partnership a
solution that perfectly fits the needs of wireless device manufacturers in
terms of speed, performance and flexibility" tells Gianni Barone, sales
director of SATIMO.
