Anite Enhances LTE Multi-RAT Testing in its Development Toolset
FLEET, England, November 24, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Extensive range of LTE testing capabilities made available for chipset
vendors
Anite, a global leader in wireless device testing technology, today
announced that its Development Toolset (DT) solution now supports extensive
LTE (Long Term Evolution) Multi-RAT (Multiple Radio Access Technology)
testing. Chipset and device manufactures are thereby able to comprehensively
test dual or multimode devices. As the industry embraces LTE, mobile network
operators are requesting devices that support LTE as well as legacy
technologies such as GSM, WCDMA, and even CDMA2000.
Anite is unique in the industry - it is the only provider of chipset and
device test solutions to offer LTE Multi-RAT testing on a host platform. By
using Anite's Development Toolset, device and chipset manufacturers can now
fully validate their LTE Multi-RAT implementation in a proven test
environment at a very early stage on host as well as on a more traditional
target test platform. LTE Multi-RAT testing, prior to hardware and RF
integration, ensures that vendors eliminate risk in their development
programmes, as LTE device features are verified to work correctly at the
very start of the development cycle.
The Development Toolset features an easy-to-use graphical interface
(Scenario Mode), which allows test development to be carried out in a
scalable environment. This solution now offers the possibility to perform
complex LTE Multi-RAT Circuit Switched Fallback (CSFB) scenarios, which
provides voice support on LTE networks in the early stages of LTE deployment
as well as Packet Switched Handover (PSHO), which offers the ability to
perform sustained data transfer across LTE and legacy networks.
"The availability of LTE Multi-RAT functionality in Anite's intuitive
and flexible Development Toolset means that chipset and device manufactures
can easily and rapidly develop complex LTE Multi-RAT tests, thereby
achieving higher productivity and shorter development time scales," said
Paul Beaver Product Director, Anite. "With these features in Development
Toolset, manufacturers can transform their test programmes to make them
truly comprehensive and extremely versatile. Vendors can be sure that
Anite's Development Toolset is removing risk from the development process
and accelerating LTE device maturity."
Anite's Development Toolset is a comprehensive suite of tools that
supports the entire wireless device development ecosystem, from pre-silicon
protocol module development through to systems integration and verification.
Development Toolset is used by the majority of leading chipset manufacturers
worldwide. Its user-friendliness, flexibility, extensive LTE technology
roadmap and high level control of test creation, allow tests to be carried
out according to a manufacturer's specific needs and distinct
specifications.
