| Samsung’s Mobile WiMAX
products offer an end-to-end total solution-oriented technology that
provides operators and consumers with the high speed capabilities to
connect them to the ever expanding range of wireless multimedia. Samsung
secures various lineups that cover from macro dense urban to in-building
cases, and provides products within all frequency bands (2.3/2.5/3.5GHz)
included in the Mobile WiMAX profile.
The ACE 400WB accurately emulates
multipath characteristics with channel correlation to determine the
effect of multi-channel RF interactions to predict the performance of
MIMO-based products in a real-world environment. The advanced signal
processing technology is integrated in a platform that automates device
control, traffic capture and results display to deliver accurate,
repeatable and fast results. The ACE 400WB can be used to test and debug
MIMO algorithms, optimize the performance of WiMAX devices in MIMO and
SISO environments, streamline QA processes and run competitive
performance benchmark tests. The ACE 400WB also tests interoperability
between MIMO and SISO implementations from multiple vendors and can be
used to define industry-wide mobility performance test suites for future
WiMAX products.
“MIMO technology is the foundation for
the next generation of mobile WiMAX products,” said Daryl Schoolar,
senior analyst, networking at In-Stat. “Channel emulator-based testing
of these products will be crucial as the market ramps up to support the
new 802.16e products.”
The new ACE 400WB also incorporates key
elements of Azimuth’s patented testing approach that provides unmatched
repeatability, flexibility and automation for wireless IP device
testing. The DIRECTOR test executive provides an easy-to-use console for
test and device management and STUDIO test data management software
automates report generation and helps correlate test results. Azimuth’s
Real2Real architecture enables interoperability testing between
real-world devices. SmartMotion technology precisely controls virtual
motion between devices in the network and RadioProof enclosures isolate
the RF environment.
“Samsung is leading the mobile
broadband technology evolution and we’re pleased that they have
partnered with Azimuth to automate their WiMAX testing,” said Jeff
Abramowitz, vice president of marketing at Azimuth Systems. “By
delivering the real-world environment in a lab setting, the ACE 400WB
enables efficient and repeatable results, while replacing time consuming
wireless field tests.” |
