Aeroflex and 7 layers Agreement brings advanced
LTE Testing Services to Japanese market
Aeroflex Test Solutions and 7 layers have
signed an agreement to provide
LTE (long term evolution) testing services in support of the commercialization
of LTE mobile phone networks
in Japan.
Aeroflex will install its 7100 Digital Radio Test Set in 7 layers’ laboratory
in Yokohama, Japan, greatly expanding
7 layers LTE regulatory compliance testing services.
With advanced LTE test equipment and services conveniently located, Japanese
UE (user equipment) manufacturers and network operators can speed up testing in
advance of LTE rollout.
Starting next month,
7 layers
laboratories in Japan will offer LTE testing services in three areas:
regulatory compliance, certification, and operator-specific test cases.
The first Japanese LTE networks are scheduled to launch later in 2010. Prior
to LTE rollout, both operators and handset manufacturers must ensure that LTE
devices meet regulatory requirements and work reliably. 7 layers, using the
proven Aeroflex 7100 LTE Digital Radio Test Set, will provide equipment and
services to aid developers in proving that their devices are ready for
commercial launch. The Aeroflex 7100 LTE Digital Radio Test Set simulates an
entire LTE network. It allows a range of RF, protocol, and performance
measurements to be made on User Equipments.
“The combination of Aeroflex’ advanced roadmap, versatile test capability,
and pricing allows us to offer a range of services to the industry that will
help accelerate the successful rollout of LTE,” said Tadatsune Takei,
representative director, 7 layers Japan. “7 layers extensive LTE experience
includes LTE testing in a number of our laboratories as well as LTE test case
validation.”
“Handset manufacturers have a legal obligation to perform regulatory testing.
They also need to prove to operators that they fully comply with LTE
specifications and meet the demanding data throughput requirements that are
crucial to the success of LTE,” said Masahiro Okabe, country manager, Aeroflex
Test Solutions, Japan.
“Our agreement with 7 layers can help speed up
LTE commercialization in Japan
by providing local access to the most advanced
LTE test equipment.”
