The Anite SAT
LTE Protocol Tester with Development Toolset was created as part of a
partnership between Agilent and Anite, announced in November 2007.
Featuring an impressive breadth and depth of features, this
first-to-market SAT LTE Protocol Tester is ideal for engineers working
in the early protocol design of LTE mobile phones. It features a suite
of development test tools presented in an integrated development
environment that includes simple-to-use GUIs, a developer's API and
development aids for rapid generation of Layer 1-3 test applications.
The Development Toolset is an intuitive, yet powerful, test environment
= yielding faster time-to-market and improved product quality with
reduced investment.
Agilent's new E6620A test set provides a powerful, common hardware
platform and 3GPP-compliant protocol stack for building scalable test
solutions across the LTE UE R&D lifecycle. As an advanced, one-box test
= set for LTE, it offers real-time, system-rate network emulation for
L1/L2/L3 uplink and downlink via RF or digital baseband. It is designed
= to support MIMO and protocol conformance test, with full RF
measurement capabilities.
"The E6620 builds on Agilent's broad LTE portfolio by providing a
powerful and scalable platform designed to cover the LTE UE development
= lifecycle with a range of solutions -- from early protocol development
= to conformance test," said Niels Fach=E9, vice president and general
manager of Agilent's Mobile Broadband Division. "Delivering
industry-leading protocol test capability to LTE designers demonstrates
= our commitment to the LTE marketplace -- providing advanced test
solutions when our customers need them, and ensuring they deliver
successful LTE products to market while meeting their aggressive
time-to-market goals."
Under the scope of this partnership, Anite and Agilent will provide a
broad, comprehensive portfolio of solutions that address the entire UE
lifecycle -- from early development through production test. The
scalable portfolio of test solutions will minimize the time required to
= design and deliver high-quality mobile devices by providing common
development and test environments, as well as common reference protocol
= stack, network emulation and measurements across the portfolio.
"This first-to-market solution delivers a 3GPP LTE test capability for
Wireless R&D to advance the deployment of commercial LTE products and is
= a testament to our strategic partnership with Agilent," said Paul
Beaver, business unit director, Anite. "Our close working relationship
in all areas -- including marketing, sales and development -- has
enabled us to push ahead of the competition. The integrated test
environment supports all phases of UE development and will be further
enhanced to support our leading Conformance Toolset and SAS products in
= the near future. We look forward to further demonstrating that
commitment through development of future E6620-based test solutions."
