CETECOM Selects Anite's Propsim F32 Channel Emulator for MIMO OTA Testing

FLEET, England, October 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    Future-proof solution allows test house to perform device testing compliant with CTIA

                       standardised MIMO OTA performance test plan

    Anite, a global leader in wireless equipment testing technology, today announced that
its Propsim F32 Channel Emulator [http://www.anite.com/propsim#.Vh4XDvlVhHw ] has been
selected by CETECOM for its anechoic MIMO Over-the-Air (OTA) test laboratory in the U.S.

    The laboratory has been set up to perform device testing compliant with the CTIA
standardised MIMO OTA test plan released earlier this autumn. Propsim F32 supports all
CTIA channel model requirements
[http://www.anite.com/businesses/handset-testing/news/anite-accelerates-mimo-ota-device-testing ]
(both MIMO and Transmit Diversity testing) allowing users to comprehensively and
quickly verify that mobile devices meet expected industry requirements.

    CETECOM selected Anite's Propsim F32 for its unique ability to support LTE and
LTE-Advanced device testing, incorporating up to 32 channels in a single unit, thereby
simplifying set-up and reducing cost. Propsim F32 offers test laboratories and device
manufacturers an easy upgrade path, which includes multi component Carrier Aggregation as
well as support for frequencies up to 6 GHz enabling the testing of Wi-Fi capable devices.
Its superior emulation accuracy and quicker test execution result in more reliable test
results and quicker device assessment.

    Manufacturers are introducing MIMO capable LTE devices
[http://www.anite.com/propsim/mimo-ota-testing-tools#.Vh4Wv_lVhHw ] equipped with multiple
antennas to enable users to access higher data rate applications, which is driving the
need for new testing methodologies incorporating the device antenna performance.

    Anite has for more than ten years collaborated with CETECOM, a leading service
provider for consulting, testing and certification that works with major mobile operators
and device manufacturers around the globe. CETECOM already uses SAS, Anite's
interoperability and performance test solution as well as Anite's Conformance Toolset in
its labs in both the US and Europe.

    Paul Beaver, Products Director at Anite's Device & Infrastructure Testing business
says, "We are delighted to continue our collaboration with CETECOM by contributing our
channel model expertise and solutions to help them establish a state-of-the-art MIMO OTA
test laboratory. Anite is the only test and measurement vendor that offers an integrated
32-channel 6 GHz solution, approved by all major systems integrators."

    Maan Ghanma, CEO of CETECOM USA also commented: "We selected Anite's Propsim F32
Channel Emulator to enable us to cost-effectively support our customers with future-proof
MIMO OTA device test services."
