SLOUGH, U.K. -- Anite, a global leader in testing technology for the wireless industry and Agilent Technologies Inc., the world’s premier measurement company and a technology leader in communications, electronics, life sciences and chemical analysis, today announced that they have entered into a strategic partnership to deliver industry-leading 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) test solutions to wireless R&D engineers designing next-generation mobile communications products. Under the terms 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 3GPP LTE standard is intended to provide a framework for the evolution of 3G toward a high-data-rate, low-latency and packet-optimised radio-access technology. Its aim is to achieve a peak downlink cell data rate of greater than 100 Mbps, and an increase in capacity of three to five times compared with HSDPA (in the same bandwidth), with sub 5-ms latency for small IP packets. While LTE has the potential to enhance 3G networks and enable significant new service opportunities in relation to mobile TV and video, its commercial success requires the early availability of testing solutions that parallel the standard’s development. Through its strategic partnership, Anite and Agilent are well positioned to comprehensively address this need, while also better servicing customer requirements across the entire development lifecycle.
"As a leader in the measurement industry, Agilent is fully committed to helping today’s engineers create the best products for the LTE market by providing them with the tools they need from early development through production test," said Ron Nersesian, Vice President of Agilent's Wireless Business Unit. "This new strategic partnership with Anite reinforces this commitment and demonstrates our dedication to remain at the forefront of the LTE R&D market by providing a broad portfolio of solutions for functional, parametric and protocol test to advance this fast-evolving technology."
