The TM500 LTE-A Test Mobile and the E500 Capacity Test System from Aeroflex now both support the aggregation of three component carriers (3 CC). Carrier aggregation of 3 CC allows mobile network operators to achieve data rates of up to 450 Mbit/s on their LTE-A networks.
3 CC carrier aggregation enables network operators with limited contiguous frequency allocations to maximize 4G data speeds by combining these spectrum bands. The E500 Capacity Test system is the chosen platform in use by leading network operators to prove that new network features such as 3 CC aggregation fully deliver as promised on their network, enabling them to offer the best possible user experience to their subscribers.
This enables Aeroflex’s TM500 infrastructure customers to develop and test LTE-A carrier aggregation with three component carriers, allowing mobile operators to accelerate the time-to-market of 3 CC services for LTE-A subscribers. This enables network performance to be tested and validated, ahead of the availability of end-user terminals and handsets.
Aeroflex provides the tools for leading network infrastructure vendors and operators to roll out the high bandwidth services promised by successive releases of the 3GPP LTE-A standard.
