The FAST-OTA
Capability Enables CTIA Approved Laboratory to Speed up MIMO OTA
Testing of Mobile Devices by More Than Ten Times
Anite, a global leader in wireless equipment testing technology,
has today announced that Verkotan laboratory has recently selected
Anite's Propsim F32 Channel Emulator to enable faster MIMO OTA
testing in Verkotan's advanced wireless performance laboratory.

Based in Finland, the
laboratory includes a state-of-the art anechoic chamber large
enough to test laptops as well as base stations aimed for
deployment in 5G networks. Verkotan works closely with major mobile
operators and manufacturers of wireless equipment, including
wearables, seeking to outsource its testing needs to a high-end
laboratory equipped to handle a wide range of testing requirements
such as those mandated by CTIA.
Anite's Propsim F32 enables Verkotan to verify that mobile
devices with the latest technology features, including multiple
antenna configurations and carrier aggregation, perform as
expected. In August last year, CTIA released a standardised MIMO
OTA performance test plan, which many manufacturers and mobile
operators aim to conform with to ensure high levels of end-user
experience.
Propsim's FAST-OTA capability enables Verkotan to accelerate
MIMO OTA testing of mobile devices
by more than ten times compared to conventional testing methods.
Anite's Propsim F32 Channel Emulator is the only single unit
channel emulator that supports the minimum requirement of eight
dual polarized antennas for MIMO OTA
testing in an anechoic chamber. It can be expanded to support 16
dual polarized antennas (required for testing larger devices),
making it a future-proof solution for upcoming technologies and
device formats.
Kari Komonen, CEO of Verkotan: "As a key standard in the mobile
industry, MIMO OTA is vital to our
growth potential. We selected Anite and its FAST MIMO OTA
capability as our preferred supplier of channel emulation solutions
to enable us to speed up MIMO OTA R&D and CTIA
pre-certification testing."
Paul Beaver, Products Director at
Anite's Device & Infrastructure Testing business commented: "We
are pleased to continue our collaboration with Verkotan, once part
of a large European OEM. Their selection of Propsim underlines how
much one of the world's most advanced MIMO
OTA laboratories values channel emulation solutions with
leading propagation characteristics for accurate and quick
verification of devices."
