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."
