Icera and Anite Verify LTE Conformance Test Cases With Icera's LTE Soft Modem
FLEET and BRISTOL, England, November 17, 2010/PRNewswire/ -- Icera, Bristol UK, and Anite, Fleet UK, today announced that
they are working together to help accelerate the availability of LTE protocol
conformance tests required by the industry's LTE device certification
programmes. Both Icera and Anite are at the forefront of the development of
multimode LTE products, and the collaboration brings together the best of
breed of Anite's Conformance Toolset with Icera's software-defined modem.
Icera maintains its leading-edge roadmap for next generation air
interfaces due to its unique software-defined baseband technology, currently
supporting multimode 4G (LTE), 3G (HSPA) and 2G (GSM) standards ahead of many
competitors. Working closely with Anite, Icera was the first baseband chipset
company to demonstrate a dual mode LTE / HSPA modem running on a commercial
USB data stick, showing LTE / HSPA handover at Mobile World Congress in
February 2010.
Anite is a cutting-edge provider of test solutions for 2G, 3G and LTE
technologies, and has the largest portfolio of LTE protocol tests approved by
GCF and PTCRB. This breadth of experience and expertise has led to Anite test
solutions being used by all of the leading global chipset and handset
manufacturers.
Steve Allpress, CTO and VP Modem Software of Icera Inc., said: "Unlike
any other baseband technology, Icera executes the entire modem in software on
a high performance processor, DXP(R). This soft modem approach provides a
unique flexibility to be consistently ahead of the competition with modem
innovations and early to market with multimode LTE. We are delighted to be
working with Anite on the verification of tests from their leading LTE GCF
conformance test portfolio, simultaneously showing Icera's LTE solution meets
the industry's rigorous certification requirements."
"LTE device certification is essential in ensuring that next generation
LTE wireless devices meet customer expectations. Anite's work with Icera
accelerates the availability of the most comprehensive suite of LTE test
cases in the market today, empowering Anite's customers with the ability to
deploy the technology quickly and with confidence," said Mike Bonin, Managing
Director of Anite Telecoms Ltd.
