The MICROWAVE VISION Group, Manufacturer of High-Performance Telecom Test Systems, Presents StarMIMO, a new Solution for Testing Wireless Broadband Devices

PARIS, February 14, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    - MICROWAVE VISION'S product offering was expanded last year to
include a solution for MIMO, the new technology being adopted by all
high-speed protocols. A debut model is now operational at the office in
Villebon, France.

    Broadband test solutions

    The MICROWAVE VISION Group, primarily French, achieved an
enviable international position with its unique, patented multi-probe
technology that is dedicated to measuring high-performance antennas. The
Group's technology is already developed into a range of test solutions for
systems of all sizes and in all sectors using communication products:
telecommunications, multimedia, aerospace, automotive, civilian, military,
etc.

    MICROWAVE VISION is launching a new generation of measurement
devices dedicated to 4G (LTE, WiMAX), the newest mobile broadband standard.
These devices (smartphone, laptop, tablet, etc.) include MIMO technology that
relies on multiple antennas at both the transmitter (e.g., a router) and the
receiver (e.g., a laptop) sites, to increase throughput or network coverage.

    A strategic concern for mobile handset manufacturers

    With MIMO wireless devices, manufacturers are faced with a new
level of complexity in antenna development and testing. MIMO technology
requires that antennas are tested in multiple configurations and multiple
environments (urban, rural, domestic, etc.) This presents a real challenge. A
fast, flexible test solution becomes a major asset in the design and
pre-launch testing phases of development.

    Remarkable design

    For years, MICROWAVE VISION delivered blue and yellow arches
sized from smaller than one meter to larger than twelve meters in diameter to
industrial customers. They have been used to test products of much larger or
smaller size, from smartphones to airplanes!

    The new MIMO solution creates fully-immersive electromagnetic
environments for wireless devices. True to its political aims, MICROWAVE
VISION offers a range of solutions for MIMO measurement.

    "MICROWAVE VISION's goal is to offer high-performance antenna
measurement systems, and we are presented with a unique opportunity to
propose high-speed testing solutions that will become increasingly critical
to the telecom industry." says Philippe Garreau, President, MICROWAVE VISION.

    With this step, MICROWAVE VISION demonstrates its
technological leadership and dedication to innovation. Already, several
companies have expressed interest in this new solution.
