Anite supports GCF LTE data throughput performance testing needs

Test and measurement (T&M) firm Anite has launched full support for the Global Certification Forum (GCF) LTE data throughput performance testing requirements.

Anite says this will enable mobile operators and device manufacturers to cost-efficiently test the data throughput performance of new devices in real-world conditions.

Having an open 3GPP standard for measuring data throughput performance (such as download speeds) allows device manufacturers to verify that performance earlier in a device’s R&D lifecycle and be confident that results remain relevant to a wide range of operators.

The test cases measure the application layer data throughput performance of a mobile device by replicating various challenging real-world propagation conditions, such as those caused by fading and multi-path reflections. These conditions are created in a repeatable laboratory environment using Anite’s Conformance Toolset, based on the Anite 9000’s integrated fading capability. This provides a cost effective upgrade to existing Anite protocol test systems.

PTCRB, the wireless device certification forum run by North American mobile operators, is expected to adopt similar requirements in the coming months and Anite’s Conformance Toolset customers can use the same platform to run PTCRB mandated data performance tests.

Paul Beaver, products director at Anite, said that device manufacturers and mobile operators now have access to complete GCF LTE data performance testing capability as a simple upgrade to their existing conformance test solutions. This will lead to more cost-effective development of devices that are more likely to meet end-users download speed expectations.
