Anritsu is MWC’s leading supplier of test and monitoring solutions for LTE and HSPA networks

The key themes that will be highlighted to the industry are the developments for LTE-Advanced, leading position in Certification of devices, the issues and test tools for build-out of the network, and systems for multi network service assurance and optimizing the revenues from services. Our unique displays and state of the art booth will guide visitors through all these stages of mobile broadband deployment, and our expert team is available to discuss all aspects of this.

At the MWC booth (Hall 1, Booth 1B31), Anritsu will be demonstrating the leading technology for testing LTE devices. This will include the industry's most advanced call connection technology using the current MD8430A platform to make calls with LTE-Advanced (Rel.10) technology and data rates in a multi-vendor test development environment.

2012 will see deployment of VoLTE (Voice over LTE) and Anritsu will be showing a number of solutions for development and proving. The ME7834L will show the most comprehensive network simulation of any laboratory system, with class leading data throughput capability and many unique test plans like SON/ANR and user experience tests. Combined with leading Conformance and Carrier Acceptance tests the system will demonstrate flexible and unique solutions for future terminals.

To ensure reliable and trouble free cell site deployments and operation, Anritsu will showcase the widest range of field test tools in the business. These range from the industry standard SiteMaster, the most advanced all in one field tool BTSMaster, and the unique new PIMMaster with the patented ‘distance to PIM’ to accurately resolve the problems associated with spectrum re-farming and deployment of mobile broadband onto legacy GSM voice networks.

The service assurance portfolio, based around the MasterClaw monitoring system, will show a much expanded range of capability. This will include multi-network assurance for 2G, 3G and 4G technology, unique new capability to support the current issues on Spectrum Clearance, and Advanced Customer Experience Management (ACEM) tools that manage the network from a customer centric viewpoint whilst helping to maximize revenues and resource utilization.
