Two join to promote 3G test platforms
December 8, 2003
Spirent Communications and Anite have announced a partnership to speed
the delivery of 3G wireless terminal test systems to the mobile industry.
By combining their complimentary technologies in joint marketing and development
activities, both companies say that they will be able to increase their
focus on core strengths while broadening their respective product portfolios.
The wireless industry is demanding more comprehensive 3G radio frequency
(RF) and protocol conformance test systems to help meet forthcoming 2004
terminal certification deadlines and the requirements of network operators.
Spirent brings to the partnership its UMTS Automatic Test System (U-ATS),
a test system that addresses the RF test cases in the Third Generation
Partnership Project (3GPP) terminal conformance specifications.
Anite will jointly market the U-ATS as part of its product portfolio,
replacing the Anite U-RAMS 3G RF parametric test product. Anite will also
play a role in the ongoing support and development of the U-ATS solution,
helping to integrate Anite's 2G SAT into the U-ATS to enable 3GPP Radio
Resource Management (RRM) test case coverage, including such critical
performance areas as handovers. The agreement will also allow Anite to
increase its development focus on the U-SAT protocol conformance test
system, which provides broad coverage of the signaling test cases in the
3GPP terminal conformance specifications. Anite and Spirent have already
been working closely together on development of a key element of the U-SAT
solution, the CS100 WCDMA network emulation platform acquired by Spirent
from UbiNetics in September 2002.
The two organizations also plan to cooperate on development of test solutions
for high accuracy location technologies, in particular Assisted GPS (A-GPS),
which are being deployed in 2G and 3G networks to enable location based
services (LBS). Spirent will contribute its RF performance test and GPS
simulation expertise and Anite its protocol test expertise.
Daniel Oosthuizen, Director of Anite's Telecoms Division says: "We are
delighted to be extending our relationship with Spirent and believe this
significantly benefits our customers. We see the partnership with Spirent
as a win-win situation with each of us bringing complementary expertise.
By bringing our RF validation and GSM/GPRS expertise to development of
the U-ATS, we and Spirent can deliver a more comprehensive solution to
the market."
