Anritsu announced its deal with UL (Underwriters Laboratories) to supply LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) telecoms test equipment.
This is an extension of the existing agreement.
With the latest deal, UL will be becoming the first commercial independent LTE- Advanced 3 Carrier Aggregation conformance test facility in the world. UL currently operates a cellular mobile device conformance and certification laboratories in Europe at its centre of excellence in Basingstoke, UK.
UL has selected Anritsu’s new ME7873LA platform to enable its telecom customers to access the maximum coverage of newly validated test cases across bands.
This apart, UL offers the conformance needs for the GCF, and is a primary laboratory for PTCRB that can offer network operator approvals for Europe, North America and beyond. UL will also provide Test Case validation services for Anritsu’s ME7873LA RF RRM Conformance test system, said Anritsu.
The ME7873LA is the newest RF/RRM Conformance Test system to certify UE’s to GCF and PTCRB requirements, along with the capability of 3CA configuration of RF and RRM test cases. The system is the latest platform in the ME7873 series in RF/RRM testing for both test case coverage and stability. In addition, it will support 3CA/4CA test case coverage as commercial deployment of this technology starts to accelerate.
“We are now releasing our next set of enhancements including support for the latest LTE Advanced features,” said Jonathan Borrill, marketing director at Anritsu.
