Although MIMO has been available on networks and some initial products are available, there are no official certification requirements to guarantee interoperability and the consistency of the benefits of MIMO technology. With this approval, product acceptance by the mobile industry and operators can be on a more solid footing, which is essential for moving toward a wider market deployment of MIMO technology. The main advantages of MIMO technology lie in delivering an improved user experience, increased performance, and greater network capacity for the operator.
Test case verification has been a long-term strength of the Renesas Mobile modem team, and at Nokia, they have created many of the 3GPP test cases by working closely with Anritsu, the leading test system manufacturer, and others. Anritsu is the first test system manufacturer to implement and validate signaling MIMO data and test cases. The use of test cases is a key feature of the development process at Renesas Mobile, resulting in faster product approval and, therefore, faster time to market for their customers, ensuring they receive the maximum benefit from their industry investment in conformance test cases. Renesas Mobile products support MIMO and DC-HSPA+.
