Anritsu achieves first GCF validations of lte rf and protocol conformance tests

  • lte

Anritsu claims it is the first test equipment vendor in the world to achieve Global Certification Forum (GCF) approved test case validations for both lte rf and protocol conformance testing.

Mobile terminal manufacturers must gain GCF approval to prove that their lte terminals satisfy the 3GPP standards, meaning that there is increasing demand for an approved conformance test environment.

Anritsu has successfully gained GCF approval for its ME7873L RF conformance test system together with additional test cases for its ME7832L protocol conformance test system.

Anritsu Measurement Group president, Kenji Tanaka said: "In the last year, there has been a rapidly growing trend towards actual applications and services using the key new technology called lte. Anritsu is pleased to be able to play a major role in lte conformance testing and helping to build a richer and more comfortable society."

Anritsu has been the market-leading supplier of GCF-approved test cases for W-CDMA conformance tests since the start of 3G services. With the targeted October 2010 roll-out of LTE services, Anritsu is on track to deliver the required 80% of approved Priority 1 and 2 test cases, and is expecting to accelerate its number of both GCF and PTCRB approved test cases to assure the early success of high-quality LTE services.
