Agilent Technologies Joins LTE/SAE Trial Initiative
Agilent Technologies Inc. announced it has joined the Long Term Evolution/System Architecture Evolution (LTE/SAE) Trial Initiative.
(LTE/SAE) is designed to validate the technology's capability to bring high speed wireless broadband to the global market. Agilent contributes to LTE interoperability testing and field trials from physical layer air interface testing through protocol layer test and network diagnostics. This test capacity further enables the transition of LTE to a commercially deployable technology.
"As a leader in the measurement industry, Agilent is fully committed to providing solutions for the entire LTE development lifecycle," said Ron Nersesian, vice president of Agilent's Wireless Business Unit. "With our membership, the LTE/SAE Trial Initiative we plan to use our comprehensive measurement expertise to significantly contribute to the full delivery of LTE to the marketplace."
The LTE/SAE Trial Initiative is comprised of global companies dedicated to verifying LTE's ability to achieve the performance necessary to give a true broadband experience on mobile devices. It is divided into three main phases: Proof of Concept, Interoperability and Trial. Joint testing and reporting of ongoing results will continue to the end of 2009, with initial LTE system deployments planned for 2010.
