5 Presented with the Global TD-LTE Initiative award for industry leading interoperability testing solution SAS Market-leading device interoperability testing SAS was the first interoperability testing solution of its kind to be launched and remains the market leader. With broad 2G, 3G, LTE and LTE-Advanced test coverage for Tier 1 operators device acceptance programmes, SAS enables rapid evaluation of devices for deployment on mobile operators networks across the world. Evidence proves that SAS can halve the time needed to qualify new devices, helping both the manufacturer and the mobile operator to launch new devices more quickly and at lower cost. Propsim Channel Emulators Realistic simulation of radio channel conditions Anite s Propsim channel emulators accurately emulate the characteristics of real-world radio channel conditions in the lab for a wide range of applications. The Propsim solutions enable performance testing of wireless devices and network infrastructure, resulting in an enhanced end-user experience. Leading manufacturers, mobile operators and independent test labs around the world rely on Propsim radio channel emulators to deliver trustworthy test results. Anite accelerates development of LTE- Advanced devices

6 Our customers Chipset and device manufacturers Accelerating development and deployment of mobile devices Anite s testing solutions help chipset and mobile device manufacturers develop and launch better quality products more efficiently. By enabling detection and resolution of bugs earlier in the development phase, Anite s solutions help to lower the number of iterations and reduce integration and deployment costs. Anite solutions support all stages of the development cycle. Manufacturers use Propsim channel emulators during early research and evaluation of new wireless technologies. Users also benefit from Propsim s versatility when testing new antenna designs in an OTA chamber. Anite s Development Toolset enables chipset manufacturers to accelerate development of new signalling protocol functionality. With Anite s Conformance Toolset manufacturers can ensure a new product adheres to industry standards, testing across 2G, 3G, LTE and LTE-Advanced technologies for compliance with GCF and PTCRB requirements. The early availability of Anite s test cases allows manufacturers to test early in the development lifecycle and encounter fewer issues at the formal conformance validation stage. Network equipment manufacturers Assuring performance of network equipment Network equipment manufacturers use channel emulators to test, measure and optimise functionality and performance of RAN infrastructure equipment during the development phase. They also use channel emulators to replicate the challenging real-world network conditions that the equipment will experience in the field. This activity is necessary to help prepare for network vendor interoperability testing. Using Propsim enables network equipment manufacturers to take testing beyond standard requirements in order to accommodate their own proprietary test cases or those mandated by partners or mobile operators. Anite s Propsim channel emulators provide the most versatile lab-based emulation solutions for replicating and evaluating the real-world performance of network equipment under a variety of radio propagation conditions. With unrivalled expertise in channel model research Anite is the only provider of channel emulators that can support the most complex advanced technology requirements. Anite s SAS interoperability testing solution enables manufacturers to verify a new device for use with a specific mobile operator s network. Since many Tier-1 mobile operators already use SAS in their device acceptance programmes, manufacturers who also use SAS often benefit from a quicker and more trouble-free passage through the operator s acceptance process.

7 Presented with the Global TD-LTE Initiative award for industry leading interoperability testing solution Mobile operators Assessing device interoperability with mobile networks Mobile operators use Anite s network simulator based interoperability test solution, SAS, to ensure that the signalling and data performance of new devices are compatible with their networks, will perform as intended and will meet endcustomers expectations. Mobile operators benefit from SAS s easy-to-use test creation and execution capability accessed via an intuitive graphical interface without any specialist programming language knowledge. Using SAS helps to streamline device acceptance programmes by automating tests from mobile operators test plans. SAS even enables testing of new features that aren t yet supported by live networks. Many device and chipset manufacturers use SAS in their R&D programmes, making it the ideal environment in which to share device acceptance tests, reducing the risk and cost of device deployment for all parties, and cutting acceptance test times by as much as 50%. Mobile operators also use Anite s Propsim channel emulation solutions to carry out enhanced evaluation of devices against their network infrastructure by simulating challenging and realistic radio propagation conditions and to assess device antenna performance through MIMO OTA testing. Other key users Supporting specialist testing requirements Anite s wide-ranging solutions cater to the testing requirements of other key players in the mobile ecosystem, ranging from those involved in early research and development through to specialist users of critical communications systems. Propsim solutions provide research labs and universities with the most realistic lab-based emulation platform for early research into, and evaluation of, new technologies for emerging wireless standards. Independent test labs use Anite s Conformance Toolset and SAS interoperability test solution to verify that mobile devices meet the requirements set by industry certification organisations and mobile operators. Anite s best-in-class test suites and reports enhance the professionalism of test execution and analysis, while its industry reputation and the acknowledged quality of its solutions help test labs win new business and increase revenues. In the aerospace sector Propsim is used to test satellite and airborne radio communications systems against tough reliability and performance requirements. The Propsim Aerospace application uniquely integrates the functions of advanced terrestrial and satellite channel emulators into a single lab-based test solution that is compact and affordable, and emulates the phenomena that will affect the radio devices in the live environment. Military and civilian users of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) employ Anite s Propsim MANET Testing Tools to examine, replicate and manipulate all aspects of the end-user environment. Its accuracy and repeatability enables the user to reduce on the amount of field trials, thereby decreasing cost and time for verifying these tactical communications networks.
