FLEET, England, January 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Enhancements accelerate
development of LTE-Advanced products for 5CC carrier aggregation
and 3D MIMO operating in any band up to 6 GHz
Anite, a global leader in wireless equipment testing technology,
announced today that it has introduced several major enhancements
to its Propsim F32 LTE-Advanced MIMO radio Channel Emulator. The
enhancements enable users to test new 3GPP features (Release 13 and
beyond) in multi-mode base stations and mobile devices.
Anite has extended Propsim F32's frequency range support (up to
6 GHz) which enables users to test mobile devices and network
equipment for any LTE or LTE-U (unlicensed LTE) band as well as for
WLAN frequencies above 5 GHz.
Propsim F32 now supports testing of all LTE-Advanced Carrier
Aggregation schemes defined by 3GPP (up to five component carriers)
with mobility and handovers schemes. The enhancements also allow
users to test products for 3D MIMO in 16x8 bi-directional set-ups.
The enhanced Propsim F32 offers the industry's highest RF output
power levels and the widest RF signal dynamic range. This reduces
the need for expensive and sizable external RF Power Amplifier
Units in MIMO OTA anechoic and
reverberation chamber installations. As a result, users are able to
minimise test system CAPEX and OPEX whilst maximising
productivity.
Paul Beaver, Products Director at
Anite says, "This latest product announcement, in particular the 6
GHz extension, enhances the industry-leading Propsim F32 channel
emulation solution. Propsim F32 enables Anite's customers to
effectively develop and verify future LTE-Advanced features to
deliver the promised 30-fold increase in capacity compared to LTE
Release 8."
