Stevenage, UK - Aeroflex Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Aeroflex Holding Corp. (NYSE:ARX), announced today that it has worked closely with NTT DOCOMO, INC. to support the successful testing, rollout, and launch of their Xi LTE network. Aeroflex provided a suite of test tools to support the development for one of the first LTE networks in the world. The DOCOMO Xi LTE network went live in Japan during December 2010.
