FLEET, England, October 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Future-proof
solution allows test house to perform device testing compliant with
CTIA standardised MIMO OTA
performance test plan
Anite, a global leader in wireless equipment testing technology,
today announced that its Propsim F32 Channel Emulator has been
selected by CETECOM for its anechoic MIMO Over-the-Air (OTA) test
laboratory in the U.S.
The laboratory has been set up to perform device testing
compliant with the CTIA standardised MIMO
OTA test plan released earlier this autumn. Propsim F32
supports all CTIA channel model requirements (both MIMO and
Transmit Diversity testing) allowing users to comprehensively and
quickly verify that mobile devices meet expected industry
requirements.
CETECOM selected Anite's Propsim F32 for its unique ability to
support LTE and LTE-Advanced device testing, incorporating up to 32
channels in a single unit, thereby simplifying set-up and reducing
cost. Propsim F32 offers test laboratories and device manufacturers
an easy upgrade path, which includes multi component Carrier
Aggregation as well as support for frequencies up to 6 GHz enabling
the testing of Wi-Fi capable devices. Its superior emulation
accuracy and quicker test execution result in more reliable test
results and quicker device assessment.
Manufacturers are introducing MIMO capable LTE devices equipped
with multiple antennas to enable users to access higher data rate
applications, which is driving the need for new testing
methodologies incorporating the device antenna performance.
Anite has for more than ten years collaborated with CETECOM, a
leading service provider for consulting, testing and certification
that works with major mobile operators and device manufacturers
around the globe. CETECOM already uses SAS, Anite's
interoperability and performance test solution as well as Anite's
Conformance Toolset in its labs in both the US and Europe.
Paul Beaver, Products Director at
Anite's Device & Infrastructure Testing business says, "We are
delighted to continue our collaboration with CETECOM by
contributing our channel model expertise and solutions to help them
establish a state-of-the-art MIMO
OTA test laboratory. Anite is the only test and measurement
vendor that offers an integrated 32-channel 6 GHz solution,
approved by all major systems integrators."
Maan Ghanma, CEO of CETECOM
USA also commented: "We selected
Anite's Propsim F32 Channel Emulator to enable us to
cost-effectively support our customers with future-proof
MIMO OTA device test services."
