Anite releases Tier-1 LTE operator script package to speed up LTE device time-to-market
Anite, a global leader in wireless handset testing technology for the wireless industry, today announced the release of its first LTE operator acceptance script package. The release of CAS (Carrier Acceptance Scripts) V5.0 constitutes a significant LTE device testing milestone as this is the first package to support the LTE device acceptance requirements of a major network operator.
Major operators consider Interoperability Testing (IOT) in the lab as essential in verifying that new devices will deliver the anticipated mobile user experience. Today, the largest number of tests for 2G and 3G operator acceptance programmes are run on SAS, Anite’s leading network simulator solution. The powerful and cost-effective means of network simulation is now being considered for LTE device interoperability, and CAS V5.0 is the first Anite script package released to support LTE operator acceptance tests.
CAS V5.0 uses SAS LTE and the Anite 9000 Mobile Test Accelerator to help identify and resolve device interoperability issues early in the testing cycle, to ensure that the LTE user experience will live up to customer expectations. The CAS V5.0 scripts support the formalised LTE device test requirements of a major, multi-technology, network operator. The scripts have been written using the intuitive SAS LTE graphical interface, consequently they are easy to understand and run. Furthermore, these scripts have already been used to test LTE devices currently available from leading UE manufacturers.
“Interest in LTE is growing, and Anite is at the forefront of LTE device testing,” says Richard Jacklin, IOT Product Group Manager, Anite. “Using SAS, the industry-leading 3GPP IOT solution, Anite’s 2G/3G operator acceptance script packages have helped our customers reduce device approval times by more than 50%. The new CAS package is based on the same ‘winning formula’ to accelerate LTE device time-to-market. This is another proof of the competitive advantage that Anite’s LTE testing solutions provide to our customers.”

Anite and Huawei accelerate availability of TD-LTE
Anite, a global leader in handset testing technology for the wireless industry, and Huawei, a leader in providing next-generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, today announced the demonstration of the industry’s first TD-LTE UE protocol conformance test cases. Anite and Huawei have been working together to accelerate the availability of TD-LTE technology for China Mobile’s World Expo launch later this year.
Conformance testing is fundamental to leading-edge technologies, such as TD-LTE, because it ensures that new handsets and data cards provide both the applications and services anticipated by the end user, and delivers the ability to work seamlessly with existing users and networks. Huawei uses Anite’s LTE test solution – which provides a suite of development tools for UE designers – to develop their devices in advance of LTE networks being available. This initial testing helps ensure that these devices meet the industry’s rigorous certification requirements during the earliest stages of their development cycle.
“TD-LTE device testing is essential in ensuring next generation LTE wireless devices meet customer expectations,” said HeTingBo, Huawei. “Our ongoing collaboration with Anite, and their expertise in providing the leading LTE test solutions, brings us a step closer to realising our goal of bringing LTE devices to market successfully.”
The new TD-LTE tests build upon Anite’s comprehensive portfolio for all leading 3GPP protocol technologies from GSM through EDGE and WCDMA to the latest HSPA+ and LTE standards. This advancement confirms Anite’s leadership position in the provision of LTE protocol conformance test solutions.
Anite’s unique blend of software-only host and target test solutions for 2G, 3G and LTE technologies allow developers to adopt a total end-to-end test philosophy for all of their wireless testing needs, reducing both their time and cost to market.
"Working with Huawei is speeding the availability of the first TD-LTE test cases to LTE developers, enabling the wireless industry to deploy the technology successfully and swiftly," said James Goodwin, Product Manager at Anite. “Our customers can be confident that investing in Anite’s products will meet their testing needs, maximising their test system utilisation and increase return on investment.”
