FLEET, England, November 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Anite's air
interface and channel emulation expertise will help
to progress radio interface technology research at
10 GHz frequencies
Anite, a global leader in wireless equipment testing technology,
today announced that it has joined the 5Gto10G research project led
by the Centre for Wireless Communications at University of Oulu in
Finland. Anite will contribute
air-interface and channel emulation expertise to the research
project alongside other leading industry organisations, including
Huawei and Nokia.

Wide channel bandwidths will become necessary in order to
provide the very high data rates that 5G promises to deliver.
Researchers are looking to deploy 5G technologies at higher
frequencies where large contiguous blocks of spectrum are more
easily available on a global basis. The project will help to
progress research into 5G technologies by investigating the radio
interface and performing radio channel measurements on frequencies
around 10 GHz.
Researchers are considering different candidate air-interface
and radio access technologies for future 5G standards and early
channel model research and development will be essential to
understand the way radio waves propagate at various frequencies. In
order to evaluate the technology and optimise the performance of
next-generation networks and devices, it is critical to accurately
simulate the protocol and radio conditions of potential 5G network
environments.
Several other universities and international research projects
including METIS and Virtuoso have called upon Anite's wireless
expertise and test solutions to progress their research into 5G.
Earlier this year, Anite announced that the Anite-led task group
within the METIS project finalised the world's first 5G radio
channel models, which will help to accelerate the development of 5G
radio access technologies and future mobile industry standards.
Paul Beaver, Products Director at
Anite's Device & Infrastructure Testing business comments: "We
are excited to play a significant role in this new 5G research
project led by the Centre for Wireless Communications at the
University of Oulu, which will help to accelerate 5G technology
development."
Professor Matti Latva-aho from
the Centre for Wireless Communications at University of Oulu also
comments: "Anite's recognised channel emulation expertise supports
the goals of the 5Gto10G project. It is important to have leading
industry partners, such as Anite, to steer the direction of the
research towards real practical issues within 5G systems."
