Anite Selected by All Major Mobile WiMax(TM) Chipset Developers for Protocol Conformance Testing


Anite, a global leader in testing technology for the wireless industry, today announced that it has now been selected by all of the leading Mobile WiMAX(TM) chipset developers and vendors for protocol testing.

Customers deploy Anite's Protocol Conformance Toolset and Base Station Emulator to speed the development of their WiMAX chipsets and ensure conformity to the WiMAX Forum®'s certification requirements. They benefit from the fact that Anite works in close collaboration with its customers to align technology roadmaps for testing tools to meet emerging requirements in WiMAX(TM) development, such that protocol test capability is available to them at the earliest opportunity.

Protocol testing is an essential stage in the certification of WiMAX products and ensures that products such as WiMAX-enabled laptops communicate correctly with WiMAX networks. This is vital in ensuring that consumers can use their products on any WiMAX network without interoperability problems.

Anite's market-leading Protocol Conformance Toolset (PCT) is the only protocol test solution approved by the WiMAX Forum for the certification of Fixed WiMAX(TM) devices and a leading test solution for the certification of Mobile WiMAX, an essential requirement when bringing new WiMAX products to market.

"Anite's testing and certification tools enable customers to accelerate their certification processes for WiMAX devices", said Wolfgang Moeseneder, Business Development Manager, Intel Mobile Wireless Group. "For vendors developing WiMAX products, shortening the time-to-market through effective testing will be critical to success in the early days of this technology."

"Anite's close collaboration with the leading chipset developers is born out of our proven success and experience in Fixed WiMAX," said Praveen Kumar, Vice President, WiMAX Products, Anite. "This experience, coupled with our leading position in the development of Mobile WiMAX(TM) Protocol Conformance test solutions, is helping to bring to market WiMAX Forum-certified components necessary for the roll-out and adoption of mobile WiMAX technology."
