Leading German operator to leverage Anite’s test solutions for LTE device approval
For over ten years Telefónica Germany has been using Anite’s 2G and 3G interoperability test solution SAS because of its rigorous “Operator Acceptance Scheme” for device approval. SAS enables the operator to launch high quality devices more quickly and cost-effectively.
Telefónica Germany is upgrading its existing suite of Anite testing systems to include LTE as Anite’s SAS can reduce the time needed to test new handsets by up to 50%. Anite’s network simulator is easily programmed to replicate real-life network scenarios in a controlled lab test environment. This is crucial for LTE devices as they will have to move between LTE, 3G and 2G coverage areas.
Telefónica Germany’s device acceptance programme involves pre-delivery testing by suppliers using Anite’s SAS, installed with Telefónica’s specifications. By ensuring their device passes Telefónica Germany’s provisional acceptance tests, the supplier can speed up the acceptance of their device onto the network. Furthermore, if Telefónica has any problems with the handset, they can send log information from their SAS to the handset manufacturer so that they can recreate the situation in their own laboratory and resolve the issue.
