Anite and ZTE Collaborate to Develop First TD-LTE/TD-SCDMA Inter-RAT Test Cases
FLEET, England, June 18, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
Introduction of Test Cases Will Speed up the Market Availability of Dual-Mode Handsets
Anite, a global leader in wireless device testing technology, and ZTE, a leading
global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions, today announced
that they have successfully proven the first TD-LTE/TD-SCDMA Inter-Radio Access Technology
(RAT) conformance test cases.
With what represented another industry first from Anite, the TD-LTE/TD-SCDMA Inter-RAT
conformance test cases will enable those chipset manufacturers and handset vendors who are
developing dual-mode TD-LTE/TD-SCDMA devices to begin testing immediately. The test cases
will accelerate the maturity of devices and provide a roadmap for the start of formal
conformance testing prior to commercial network launches. Dual-mode handsets will allow
users seamless access to high speed data services offered by both TD-LTE and TD-SCDMA -
the 3G standard widely deployed in China.
The TD-LTE/TD-SCDMA Inter-RAT test cases are part of Anite's Conformance Toolset, the
industry leading solution for LTE conformance testing. With the largest number of protocol
conformance test cases validated by the Global Certification Forum (GCF) across all band
combinations, Anite's Conformance Toolset is the first solution in the industry to support
TD-LTE/TD-SCDMA Inter-RAT test cases. Back in December 2010, Anite's Conformance Toolset
was also the first device testing platform to be approved by the GCF for TD-LTE testing.
Anite has an unrivalled level of industry expertise in the field of TD-LTE conformance
testing and has to date been responsible for more than 90 per cent of all TD-LTE test case
verification submissions to 3GPP RAN5. Anite's capability and expertise in developing LTE
test solutions has helped it forge strong collaborative relationships with the leading
handset manufacturers worldwide.
"Anite's unrivalled technical expertise in TD-LTE and TD-SCDMA made them a clear
choice to be our key collaboration partner," said Mr Huoling Li, Product Manager of ZTE's
LTE chipset product line. "Anite's device test solutions, and in particular Conformance
Toolset, are extremely user friendly, versatile and robust. These benefits meet our needs
on several different levels and allow us to cut costs and accelerate our time to market
for devices."
"The fiercely competitive nature of the industry means that getting a mature device to
market in the quickest time is crucial for commercial success," said Paul Beaver, Products
Director at Anite's Handset Testing Business. "Our unrivalled track record of innovation
and conformance testing expertise enables handset and chipset manufacturers to speed up
their roadmaps and thereby generate significant market success".
