Anite's SAS to Accelerate LTE Device Launches for TelefónicaGermany
FLEET, England, January 24, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Leading German operator to leverage Anite's test solutions for LTE device
approval
Anite, a global leader in wireless device testing technology, today announced that
Telefonica Germany has selected Anite's LTE interoperabilitytest solution SAS,in order to
ramp up its market introduction of LTE devices.
For over ten years TelefonicaGermany has been using Anite's 2G and 3G interoperability
test solutionSAS because of its rigorous "Operator Acceptance Scheme" for device
approval.SAS enablesthe operator to launch high quality devices more quickly and
cost-effectively.
Telefonica Germany is upgrading its existing suite of Anite testing systems to include
LTE asAnite's SAS can reduce the time needed to test new handsets by up to 50%. Anite's
network simulator is easily programmed to replicate real-life network scenarios in a
controlled lab test environment. This is crucial for LTE devices as they will have to move
between LTE, 3G and 2G coverage areas.
TelefonicaGermany's device acceptance programme involves pre-delivery testing by
suppliers using Anite's SAS, installed with Telefonica's specifications. By ensuring their
device passes TelefonicaGermany's provisional acceptance tests, the supplier can speed up
the acceptance of their device onto the network. Furthermore, if Telefonicahas any
problems with the handset, they can send log information from their SAS to the handset
manufacturer so that they can recreate the situation in their own laboratory and resolve
the issue.
"With the purchase of SAS, TelefonicaGermany will be able to minimise the time to
market for new LTE devices and ensure a great customer experience," commented
FathiAbdeldayem, Technical Vendor Manager at TelefonicaGermany. "For the past ten years we
have relied on Anite to accelerate our handset introductions and this latest agreement
extends this partnership into LTE and beyond."
Mike Bonin, Managing Director of Anite's Handset Testing business commented: "Anite is
very pleased that our long-term partnership with TelefonicaGermany, one of the world's
leading mobile operators, is to be expanded with this latest LTE related order. Over the
years, Telefonica Germany has achieved considerable cost savings and ensured a high
end-user experience by using Anite's solutions to create specific scripts for an optimised
operator acceptance scheme."
