(Business News & Technology News, 21 Apr 2008)
Aeroflex and Innowireless have entered into a technology partnership designed to accelerate the development of 3GPP LTE mobile devices for subscribers. The partnership will enable the two companies to combine their extensive engineering skills and resources to collaborate on the development of a new 3G LTE mobile test tool intended to enable handset designers and manufacturers accelerate the time-to-market of their 3G LTE products for subscribers.
The new 3G LTE mobile test tool will incorporate a full suite of RF measurements for characterization, calibration and verification purposes. It will be extendable to allow engineers to test, stress and debug the IP data handling capabilities of their designs in a controlled laboratory environment. The new test tool will represent a significant breakthrough in 3G LTE mobile testing, providing the flexibility to configure a wide range of network parameters through an easy-to-use Windows interface coupled with highspeed, precision-accuracy measurements. It will incorporate flexible base station emulation and parametric tests into one integrated unit, extending Aeroflex's unmatched portfolio of mobile test solutions for R&D, verification and manufacturing customers.
The new 3G LTE mobile test tool is expected to be available in Q4 2008 and will be marketed through Aeroflex's extensive worldwide sales and support channel.
