Symena Researches LTE Advances with Vienna University of Technology

(Business News & Technology News, 18 Jul 2008)

Symena and the Institute of Communications and Radio-Frequency Engineering (INTHFT), part of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at the Vienna University of Technology (Technische Universität Wien), will cooperate closely on the investigation and further development of Automatic Cell Planning (ACP) functionality for the Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard of 3GPP. Symena's Capesso LTE is the first ACP for LTE.

"LTE is a rapidly evolving standard," says Dr Thomas Neubauer, Managing Director of Symena. "To stay in the lead we need to understand the impact of changes to the technology on our customers' future business. Working with the INTHFT gives us access to leading edge research and understanding in critical and rapidly developing areas such as MIMO simulation and field measurements, fractional frequency reuse, traffic localisation techniques and their advanced LTE link level simulator."

"Symena's early commercial success with Capesso LTE delivers real world experience to the Institute," says Professor Christoph Mecklenbrauker, Head of INTHFT. "Working with Symena means that we can use their very practical industry experience to guide our research into the most productive areas."
