-- Test & Measurement World, 11/12/2008 10:00:00 AM
A new version of the TM500 Test Mobile from Aeroflex supports 3G TD-LTE (Time Division Long Term Evolution) to enable infrastructure equipment vendors meet the demanding time scales for TD-LTE trials in China. The TM500 TD-LTE’s extensive Layer 1, Layer 2, and higher-layer test features provide complete visibility even into the lowest layers of the radio modem by generating the detailed diagnostic data needed for engineers to verify the required functionality and optimize network operation and performance.
With MIMO support, handover testing, 20-MHz channel bandwidths, and 150-Mbps downlink data rates, the TM500 TD-LTE will enable comprehensive development and testing of base station and network infrastructure for the next-generation of Chinese mobile technology. It complements Aeroflex’s TM500 LTE-FDD (Long Term Evolution Frequency Division Duplex) and can co-exist in the same unit as the TM500 LTD-FDD, offering test flexibility for engineers working on both standards.
Aeroflex will provide full in-country support for the TM500 TD-LTE so that technical questions and integration issues can be addressed in Chinese and Aeroflex engineers can get on site quickly. The TM500 TD-LTE is available as both a stand-alone unit and as an upgrade to existing TM500 LTE-FDD systems.
