Epitiro Launches LTE Test Suite

CARDIFF, Wales - World’s First IP-Focused Laboratory and In-Life LTE Test Solution

Epitiro, the broadband communications authority, today announces the LTE
Test Suite, the world’s first packet-domain test solution for UMTS long term
evolution (LTE) device manufacturers and mobile network operators (MNO). The
suite is comprised of LTELabTM and ISP-I TM LTE.

LTELab is designed to empower LTE cell designers and MNO product
assessment engineers with the ability to test an LTE cell under real network
stress. Over 200 simultaneous LTE-based broadband sessions can be established
as can an unlimited number of other mobile voice and data sessions (2G, 3G,
3.5G, HSDPA). LTELab’s ability to generate and monitor the performance of
these types of traffic in a lab environment is a distinct advantage over test
gear that only simulates network conditions.

For early LTE movers entering field trials, Epitiro has added a new
portfolio of LTE analysis features to ISP-I, its flagship broadband
monitoring platform. Enhancements include the ability to accurately measure
broadband speeds in excess of 300Mb/sec as well as modifications to reporting
and database formatting.

“LTE is an exciting technology that will revolutionise broadband services
if it meets customer expectations.” said JP Curley, Epitiro’s chief technical
officer. “We’ve designed the LTE Test Suite so that test engineers can create
any type of concurrent traffic scenario and fully understand performance
under load.”

Epitiro’s unique product/service offering is a combination of technology
and interactive support, with engineers available to custom-design tests and
provide 24-7 monitoring of testing on-line. Further, the LTE Test Suite has
exceptional report-generating capability and allows users to quickly and
easily see test performance data in a variety of formats.

“The industry needs to get to grips with end-to-end IP networking,
high-speed data throughput, latency and application-specific issues.” stated
Curley. “Our LTE Test Suite and interactive support will help manufactures
create best-possible LTE cells and enable MNOs to successfully buy and deploy
LTE infrastructure.”
