Telecom Lead Europe: Wireless equipment testing technology provider Anite has acquired the Propsim channel emulation product from Elektrobit, a software and hardware solutions provider for the wireless and automotive industries.
The acquisition is in line with Anite’s strategy to expand its product portfolio within Performance testing.
Propsim radio channel emulators are designed to replicate wireless environments and isolate performance issues of wireless equipment to ensure better functionality of broadband wireless technologies such as 4G / LTE.
Propsim product set enables Anite to expand into new customer segments, including network infrastructure interoperability testing.
Meanwhile, Anite launched internal baseband fading capability for all existing handset test products that utilize the latest Anite 9000 hardware platform. Existing users are able to add fading technology to their test systems as a software upgrade.
The T&M company claims that this is a cost effective option for users that want to address the latest performance test requirements with their existing products. This launch is complementary to the Propsim portfolio acquisition.
“The increasing market demand for more integrated wireless laboratory test solutions makes Anite a natural fit for Propsim. Anite’s established market and technology leadership, and its substantial global sales and support footprint, combined with the acknowledged expertise and market leading channel emulation solutions the Propsim brand, creates a dedicated supplier with a more complete product offering,” said Chris Humphrey, CEO of Anite.
