LTE-A field tester supports carrier aggregation

Anite has added carrier aggregation and Category 6 device support to its Nemo Outdoor laptop-based drive wireless network tester.

Phone network operators worldwide are testing and trialling carrier aggregation, and are launching LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) networks with the first phase of Cat 6 devices, using two carrier components with down-link bandwidths of 20MHz.

“Demonstrating Cat 6 peak data rates shows Anite’s commitment to ensure that our products support the latest wireless broadband technologies,” said Anite CTO Kai Ojala. “We have achieved application data throughput of 293Mbit/s with a 40MHz bandwidth using two-component carrier aggregation and the latest test terminals with Anite’s Nemo Outdoor test solution in a laboratory environment.”

Nemo supports over 270 terminals and scanning receivers from a range of vendors, and many network technologies.

Carrier aggregation allows peak data rate to be increased by sharing a single data stream between more than one LTE-A frequency band.
