China Mobile Research Institute and Anite Collaborate in TD-LTE Test Technology
FLEET, England, February 2, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
China Mobile Research Institute (CMRI), the R&D division of China Mobile, the world's
largest mobile operator, and Anite, a global leader in wireless device testing technology,
have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on research in order to
facilitate the global roll-out of TD-LTE technology.
Device quality assurance is a high priority for a successful commercial launch. This
is why CMRI will work with Anite to develop validated protocol conformance and
interoperability test specifications and test systems. The cooperation will help speed up
volume availability of TD-LTE devices.
TD-LTE is the TDD version of LTE, developed with LTE FDD to meet the increasing user
demand for mobile broadband. TD-LTE has the backing of many mobile network operators in
Asia Pacific, America and Europe. With imminent network deployments and support from major
companies in the mobile communications space, industry experts expect TD-LTE to capture a
significant share of the LTE market. The Global TD-LTE Initiative (GTI) was established in
February 2011 by leading international mobile network operators and today 33 TD-LTE trial
networks have been launched across the world.
Mike Bonin, MD of Anite's Handset Testing business says, "Anite is delighted to be
collaborating with China Mobile to support a successful commercial LTE service for both
China and the global market. As a leading provider of device test solutions, Anite
recognised the potential of TD-LTE early in 2009 and leads the market in terms of test
case availability."
