Aeroflex has launched an extended version of its TM500 industry-standard base station tester capable of emulating several thousand LTE user equipments (UE), fading channel models, and LTE-A carrier aggregation functionality in a one-box benchtop unit. The TM500 Test Mobile delivers more leading edge LTE-A development capability with a higher UE density than any other solution on the market. LTE-A carrier aggregation was first supported on the TM500 in early 2012, and has since been used by operators worldwide to demonstrate the real-world performance of carrier aggregation technology in field environments.
The TM500 Test Mobile platform is used by a number of network infrastructure vendors for LTE and LTE-A testing. Aeroflex continues to work with mobile operators and infrastructure vendors to introduce the latest 3GPP features at the earliest opportunity, thus enabling them to develop and roll out the high bandwidth services promised by LTE-A in both FDD and TDD modes for operation.
