FLEET, England, February 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
GCF performance test cases signal an
increased focus on testing devices in a real-world environment to
ensure quality of user experience
Anite, a global leader in wireless testing technology, today
announces the industry's first solution to support GCF (Global
Certification Forum) data throughput performance testing for LTE
and 3G.
The increased complexity of mobile devices and LTE technology,
coupled with demands for improved quality of user experience have
led to an extended focus on performance testing - already an
essential part of leading mobile operators' acceptance schemes. GCF
created the Performance Agreement Group (PAG) in 2011 with the
specific goal of including performance testing within the scope of
their mobile device certification process. Anite is first to
announce support for UE Application Layer Data Throughput
Performance, one of PAG's defined performance test areas.
Anite's established leadership in protocol conformance testing
has enabled this early support for GCF device data throughput
testing, which will benefit device and chipset manufactures in
their development of compliant products. The availability of
reliable high speed data rates is growing in importance as
subscribers increasingly want to access data intensive mobile
services 'on the move'.
Anite's recently announced internal baseband fading
capability - easily available to customers as a software upgrade to
Anite's existing portfolio for LTE and 3G - has been a key
enabler to the development of these GCF performance-related test
cases.
"This announcement demonstrates Anite's continued leadership in
wireless testing solutions to help accelerate the launch of new
devices", says Paul Beaver, Products
Director at Anite. He continues, "The internal fading capability
launched in late January, enables us to offer a highly competitive
platform for comprehensive device data throughput testing that is
either part of a mobile operator's acceptance scheme or part of
GCF's mobile device certification process."
Anite will be participating at the GSMA Mobile World Congress
2013 (stand 6F80 in Hall 6) where it will be demonstrating its full
range of wireless test solutions for device and network testing,
including the internal fading capability and recently acquired
Propsim channel emulator.
