Anite Selected by Major Mobile WiMAX™ Chipset Developers for
Protocol Conformance Testing
February 7, 2008
Anite, a leader in
testing technology for the wireless industry, has now been
selected by all of the leading Mobile WiMAX™ chipset
developers and vendors for protocol testing.
Customers deploy
Anite's Protocol Conformance Toolset (PCT) and Base Station
Emulator to speed the development of WiMAX chipsets and
ensure conformity to the certification requirements of the
WiMAX Forum®. Anite worked in close collaboration with its
customers to align technology roadmaps for testing tools to
meet emerging requirements in WiMAX development so protocol
test capability could be available to them at the earliest
opportunity.
Protocol testing is
an essential stage in the certification of WiMAX products
and ensures that products such as WiMAX-enabled laptops
communicate correctly with WiMAX networks. This is vital in
ensuring that consumers can use their products on any WiMAX
network without interoperability problems.
Anite's PCT is the
only protocol test solution approved by the WiMAX Forum for
the certification of Fixed WiMAX™ devices and a leading test
solution for the certification of Mobile WiMAX, an essential
requirement when bringing new WiMAX products to market.
"Anite's testing and
certification tools enable customers to accelerate
certification processes for WiMAX devices,"said Wolfgang Moeseneder,
business development manager, Intel Mobile Wireless Group.
"For vendors developing WiMAX products, shortening the
time-to-market through effective testing will be critical to
success in the early days of this technology."
