Anite, a global leader in wireless device testing technology, and ZTE, a
leading global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions,
recently announced that they have successfully proven the first TD-LTE/TD-SCDMA
Inter-Radio Access Technology (RAT) conformance test cases.
Another industry first from Anite, the TD-LTE/TD-SCDMA Inter-RAT
conformance test cases will enable those chipset manufacturers and handset
vendors who are developing dual-mode TD-LTE/TD-SCDMA devices to begin testing
immediately. The test cases will accelerate the maturity of devices and provide
a roadmap for the start of formal conformance testing prior to commercial
network launches. Dual-mode handsets will allow users seamless access to high
speed data services offered by both TD-LTE and TD-SCDMA – the 3G standard
widely deployed in China.
The TD-LTE/TD-SCDMA Inter-RAT test cases are part of Anite’s Conformance
Toolset, the industry leading solution for LTE conformance testing. With the
largest number of protocol conformance test cases validated by the Global
Certification Forum (GCF) across all band combinations, Anite’s Conformance
Toolset is the first solution in the industry to support TD-LTE/TD-SCDMA
Inter-RAT test cases. Back in December 2010, Anite’s Conformance Toolset was
also the first device testing platform to be approved by the GCF for TD-LTE
testing.
Anite has an unrivalled level of industry expertise in the field of
TD-LTE conformance testing and has to date been responsible for more than 90
per cent of all TD-LTE test case verification submissions to 3GPP RAN5. Anite’s
capability and expertise in developing LTE test solutions has helped it forge
strong collaborative relationships with the leading handset manufacturers
worldwide.
"Anite's unrivalled technical expertise in TD-LTE and TD-SCDMA made
them a clear choice to be our key collaboration partner," said Mr Huoling
Li, Product Manager of ZTE’s LTE chipset product line. "Anite's device
test solutions, and in particular Conformance Toolset, are extremely user
friendly, versatile and robust. These benefits meet our needs on several
different levels and allow us to cut costs and accelerate our time to market
for devices."
“The fiercely competitive nature of the industry means that getting a
mature device to market in the quickest time is crucial for commercial
success,” said Paul Beaver, Products Director at Anite’s Handset Testing
Business. “Our unrivalled track record of innovation and conformance testing expertise
enables handset and chipset manufacturers to speed up their roadmaps and
thereby generate significant market success”
