Anite to demonstrate early LTE implementation
Anite, a specialist in testing technology for the wireless industry, has announced that its LTE test solution, the first in a portfolio of LTE test systems being jointly developed with Agilent Technologies, will be used by Freescale Semiconductor for the advanced demonstration of its LTE implementation. The demonstration will take place at the Freescale Technology Forum in Orlando, Florida, on 16- 19 June, 2008.
The demonstration will show High Definition video being streamed to Freescale's LTE mobile chipset using LTE protocols, with Anite's Development test system simulating the LTE network. During the demonstration, the chipset decodes the LTE protocol, enabling the HD video to be played. The demonstration is significant as it shows LTE technology working with the type of intensive high-bandwidth application that users will demand.
"Anite's participation in Freescale's LTE demonstration at this year's Technology Forum, is a testament to its highly collaborative approach and sustained ability to provide state of the art testing solutions for early development testing of LTE." said Kevin Traylor, Director of Cellular Products Group, R&D, Freescale. "The ability to independently verify our designs is an essential element in the ongoing development of LTE."
The demonstration at the Freescale Technology Forum also showcases Anite's Development Toolset (DT). DT is a solution that provides a fully integrated development environment enabling the creation of the LTE Protocol layers for comprehensive testing at every stage of product development, whether for protocol, baseband, or RF implementations. Using DT, developers have full control in creating, amending and reusing tests, which can provide consistency across each of these different stages of product development and realize significant cost savings.
"The pace of LTE user equipment development is a testament to the commitment and focus of the industry," said Dan Oosthuizen, Managing Director, Anite. "In particular, the demand from pioneering companies like Freescale for the ability to demonstrate and test their designs shows the acceleration towards commercially-viable solutions.
"What is distinctive about the early days of a new technology like LTE, is that user equipment developers such as Freescale can't independently verify their designs without working with a test solution partner. This close collaboration involves alignment of standards, advance test tools and provision of early test capability. In effect, through these relationships, we are pioneering the eco-system needed to make LTE happen."
