Aeroflex Demonstrates End-To-End LTE-Advanced Carrier Aggregation and TDD-FDD Handover at Mobile World Congress

Aeroflex Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Aeroflex Holding Corp. (NYSE:ARX), announced today that it will be presenting live demonstrations at this month’s Mobile World Congress that will include carrier aggregation on LTE-A user equipment (UE), and LTE TDD-FDD handover on the E500 Capacity Test Platform.

The demonstrations will take place on the Aeroflex stand, C64 in Hall 6. The 7100 carrier aggregation demonstration will use the Aeroflex TM500 Test Mobile to emulate the UE under test, along with the 7100 Digital Radio Test Set to perform carrier aggregation measurements.

As well as carrier aggregation, the TM500 supports all the key LTE-A features of 3GPP Release 10 including enhanced Inter Cell Interference Cancellation (eICIC) and 3GPP Release 10 Transmission Mode 9 (TM9).

Aeroflex announced earlier this month that its E500 LTE Capacity Test System is the industry’s first capacity tester to successfully hand over data services between TDD and FDD networks. This is a crucial test capability now that network operators around the world are commissioning dual-standard networks as part of the rapid expansion in TD-LTE (LTE TDD) networks. Visitors to Mobile World Congress will see this being demonstrated live at the Aeroflex booth. Also recently announced for the E500

 is support for a comprehensive range of IP data services provided by a custom-designed Shenick diversifEye™ solution. This uses real data applications including web browsing, video streaming, and voice over LTE (VoLTE) and is also being shown on the Aeroflex stand. Coupled with the E500's RF channel modeling capability, this provides the most realistic lab-based LTE end-to-end test solution on the market for both network equipment vendors and cellular operators.
