Anite launches enhanced emulation capacity for LTE-A testing

FLEET, England, February 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

    Unrivalled multi-link emulation capacity in a single Propsim F32 box enables up to
150% CAPEX saving

    Anite, a global leader in wireless equipment testing technology, today launched a
major multi-link emulation enhancement to its Propsim channel emulator platform,
significantly increasing the performance testing capacity of LTE-Advanced multi-mode
chipsets, devices and base stations and enabling users to save up to 150% in test tools
CAPEX compared to investing in multi-box solutions.

    The enhanced multi-link emulation capacity in a single Propsim F32 box eliminates the
need to synchronise several emulator boxes - this speeds up the development and
verification of new devices and base stations. With this new platform release, users are
able to create larger test scenarios in a lab environment, with twice as many devices and
base stations as any other solution available on the market. LTE-A device testing with
large lab setups enable users to conduct more realistic performance testing, accurately
testing the end user experience in the live network.

    Propsim F32 enables comprehensive testing of new LTE-Advanced features such as Carrier
Aggregation, ICIC and eICIC (enhanced Inter Cell Interference Coordination) using
real-world like scenarios for each user independently. With enhanced emulation capacity,
Propsim F32 now supports performance testing of four LTE devices and four LTE base station
cells, or up to ten LTE devices connected to two base stations when conducting Carrier
Aggregation or handover testing.

    'Users benefit from huge productivity gains thanks to our latest Propsim innovation,
which offers twice the testing capacity of any other available solution', says Paul
Beaver, Products Director at Anite. He continues: 'The unique multi-link emulation
capacity coupled with leading LTE test scenario creation tools makes Propsim an unrivalled
testing solution for LTE-A Carrier Aggregation and HetNet performance testing.'

    The multi-link emulation capacity enhancement is available as a simple software
upgrade for customers with an Anite maintenance contract. The platform enhancement
increases the emulation capacity of Virtual Drive Testing
