Conformance testing is fundamental to leading-edge technologies, such as TD-LTE, because it ensures that new handsets and data cards provide both the applications and services anticipated by the end user. It also delivers the ability to work seamlessly with existing users and networks.

Huawei uses Anite’s LTE test solution, which provides a suite of development tools for UE designers, to develop its devices in advance of LTE networks being available. This initial testing helps ensure that these devices meet the industry’s rigorous certification requirements during the earliest stages of their development cycle.

“TD-LTE device testing is essential in ensuring next-generation LTE wireless devices meet customer expectations,” said HeTingBo of Huawei. “Our ongoing collaboration with Anite, and their expertise in providing the leading LTE test solutions, brings us a step closer to realising our goal of bringing LTE devices to market successfully.”

The TD-LTE tests build upon Anite’s portfolio for all leading 3GPP protocol technologies from GSM through EDGE and WCDMA to the latest HSPA+ and LTE standards. According to Anite, its blend of software-only host and target test solutions for 2G, 3G, and LTE technologies lets developers adopt a total end-to-end test philosophy for all of their wireless testing needs, reducing both their time and cost-to-market.
