u-blox has introduced the UBX-R3, its proprietary platform featuring LTE modem technology. This platform is compatible with the LARA-R3 series modules, the only cellular product on the market that combines an LTE Cat 1 modem and GNSS technology, all developed by a single vendor.

Anritsu Corporation has strengthened the wireless testing functions of the MT8821C radio communications analyzer with the release of four new software packages for LTE-Advanced UE evaluation, supporting 4x4 MIMO downlink (DL) and 5CCs DL Carrier Aggregation (DL CA) link.

Anritsu announces that it has successfully demonstrated the maximum peak throughput for an LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) device and network simulator, using 3x Carrier Aggregation (3CA) and 4x4 MIMO with 256QAM modulation. Using devices with the new Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ X16 LTE modem and the Anritsu MD8430A LTE simulator, Anritsu was able to successfully demonstrate support for stable IP-layer data rates of up to 1 Gbit/s downlink.

The Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) and Anritsu Corporation have announced their collaboration in the field implementation of Taiwan's WLAN Offload using the Anritsu MD8475A base station simulator.

TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio) was designed from the outset to meet the specific needs of public safety users. However, utilities such as electricity and water are so essential to the well-being of society that they can be considered critical services. TETRA is ideally suited to serve the needs of users in these sectors, and in many others where reliable, robust, and secure communications are essential.

Anritsu Corporation has announced the release of its new LTE-Advanced measurement software for carrier aggregation (CA) 4CC for the MT8821C radio communications analyzer, along with several new LTE-Advanced capabilities.

Anritsu Corporation has integrated channel fading simulation into its MD8430A 4G LTE-Advanced signaling test equipment. The new digital baseband fading options transform the MD8430A into a fully featured fading simulator capable of supporting the 3GPP industry standard for defined fading profiles.

ZTE Corporation has introduced the ZTE LTE-R solution, which offers superior capabilities for group, private, emergency, and broadcast video calls, as well as other priority calling features.

Keysight Technologies Inc. has announced expanded capabilities for its UXM E7515A mobile device test rig. The new features address the rapidly evolving advancements in 3GPP LTE-Advanced carrier aggregation.

Keysight Technologies Inc. today presented end-to-end data-over-IP verification of three component carriers (3CC) using the recently launched UXM E7515A mobile device test rig.

Motorola Solutions has launched a new LTE handheld device aimed at public safety, the LEX755. With the new LEX755, Motorola presents an evolution of the LEX 700 series. The Motorola LEX755 has been purpose-built and optimized for frontline emergency personnel and has been ruggedized to meet the requirements of emergency situations.

Fluke Networks today introduced Network Time Machine™ LTE/VoLTE, a portable LTE troubleshooting device that helps wireless carriers quickly and cost-effectively resolve network performance issues. This capability is crucial for reducing customer churn, as subscribers switching to other wireless carriers increasingly cite poor customer service and inadequate network performance as the reason for their departure.

Agilent Technologies Inc. presented its latest design and testing solutions for mobile equipment designed to address the challenges that LTE, LTE-A and 3GPP versions 11 and 12 pose to current and future testing technologies at the Mobile World Congress held from February 24-27 in Barcelona, ​​Spain.

Anritsu Corporation is pleased to announce that the company's ME7873L RF conformance test system has become the first GCF-certified mobile test system worldwide to achieve over 80% of certified test cases for carrier aggregation (CA) in LTE-Advanced.

Adding a new feature to an existing mobile platform involves a massive amount of validation testing before the initial product development is complete. Then, during the external testing cycle, interactions may be detected that require design changes, which would mean repeating the process from scratch. Even so, what will ultimately determine a product's success or failure is public opinion: is the user experience good, or are customers complaining?

Before examining some of the technical issues related to user equipment (UE) design, a broader view reveals other potential hazards:
