Aeroflex and Innowireless Partner to Accelerate Development of 3GPP LTE Mobile Devices
PLAINVIEW, NY, April 17, 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 combine the engineering skills and resources of the two companies to collaborate on the development of a new 3G LTE mobile test tool. The new tool is expected to be available in Q4 2008 and will be marketed through Aeroflex’s sales and support channel.
“The new 3G LTE mobile test tool for developers will enable subscriber station designers and manufacturers to move from development to volume production while improving the integrity and quality of their products and reducing cost,” said Bob Vogel, general manager of Aeroflex Test Solutions, Wireless Division. “By partnering with Innowireless, we are continuing to expand our growing portfolio of 3G LTE test solutions for R&D, manufacturing, and conformance test. This new 3G LTE test tool will complement Aeroflex’s GSM, 3G, CDMA, and WiMAX solutions for the development, conformance, and manufacturing markets.”
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 provide the flexibility to configure a wide range of network parameters through an easy-to-use Windows interface coupled with high-speed, precision-accuracy measurements. It also will incorporate flexible base-station emulation and parametric tests into one integrated unit.
