Telefónica chooses Anite interoperability test to drive LTE devices forward

Telefónica Germany has selected the LTE interoperability test solution, SAS, from wireless device test developer, Anite, to deliver LTE devices to market more quickly.

According to Anite, Telefónica Germany has been using the test solution for over a decade because of its rigorous “Operator Acceptance Scheme” for device approval.

However, the telecoms provider is now upgrading its existing suite of testing systems to include LTE as Anite’s SAS promises to reduce the time needed to test new handsets by up to 50%.

Anite claims the network simulator is easily programmed to replicate real-life network scenarios in a controlled lab test environment. This is crucial for LTE devices that will move between LTE, 3G and 2G coverage areas.

"With the purchase of SAS, Telefónica Germany will be able to minimise the time to market for new LTE devices and ensure a great customer experience,” commented Fathi Abdeldayem, Technical Vendor Manager at Telefónica Germany. “For the past ten years we have relied on Anite to accelerate our handset introductions and this latest agreement extends this partnership into LTE and beyond."
