During 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona Vodafone CEO Arun Sarin warned industry to work faster to beat WiMAX. This wake-up call has led to much development activities in the cellular wireless communication business. Many infrastructure manufacturers have increased their development activities on that standard significantly.
This is natural, as the wireless infrastructure industry has to serve the upcoming standards first.
Mobile phones usually come much later.
Hence during the development phase no mobile phone is available to test the basestations conformance with the standard.
Therefore test user equipments (UE) with special testing capabilities are needed.
Signalion's Sorbas110 provides a first-time test solution for LTE basestations.
Sorbas110 is a prototype user equipment (UE) that enables basestation developers to test their designs against a reference receiver and transmitter already in stage where the 3GPP-LTE standard is not finalised.
Software defined radio (SDR) concepts enable the system to keep up with standard changes continuously.
A scalable hardware platform with a four-channel RF front end delivers the processing power needed for advanced technologies such as MIMO, beamforming and HARQ.
The current implementation focuses on layer 1 and 2, with layer 3 support to follow.
