Anite Achieves Industry Leading Peak Data Rates for LTE-Advanced Carrier Aggregation
FLEET, England, February 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Achieved data rates fulfil carrier aggregation requirements driven by
leading US operators
Anite, a global leader in wireless testing technology, today announced that, by
working in close collaboration with leading chipset manufacturers, it has achieved peak
data rates with commercial devices for LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) carrier aggregation.
LTE-A will extend the features of LTE to deliver the equivalent of a fixed-line
broadband experience to the end user, promising peak data rates of around 3Gbps, which
will allow subscribers to work effectively 'on the move'. However, achieving these peak
data rates over a mobile network poses one of the biggest challenges the industry has ever
had to face due to the complexity of the LTE-A technology coupled with limitations set by
form factors and frequency bandwidths.
Carrier aggregation allows mobile operators to achieve higher spectrum efficiency and
superior data rates through the use of narrower spectrum bandwidths instead of large
contiguous blocks of spectrum, which is scarce and not easily obtainable. Anite achieved
these peak data rates using its Development Toolset solution and commercial third party
devices for the 10+10 MHz bandwidths required by leading US mobile operators.
Anite's proven LTE-A protocol test solution provides flexible and comprehensive
LTE-Advanced device testing capability. Development Toolset now supports key LTE-A
features such as carrier aggregation of up to 20+20 MHz bandwidth and also provides
support for a 4x2 antenna configuration. This will enable chipset manufacturers to develop
reliable LTE-A products in line with their milestones. With its simple to use graphical
interface, Development Toolset speeds up testing programmes and enables users to test
across a wide range of technologies. Users have access to a library of test cases, which
contribute to enhancing the productivity from the very early stages of the development of
a new chipset or device.
"Working as a strategic partner to a number of leading chipset manufacturers, Anite's
LTE-A solutions offer industry leading data rates", says Paul Beaver, Products Director at
Anite. He continues, "Our lab-based test solutions ensure that LTE-A devices and chipsets
are rigorously tested in a controllable and repeatable way - this leads to significant
time and cost savings."
