    Anite launches LTE-A Carrier Aggregation solution

    -

    Wireless vendor Anite has announced the commercial release of its LTE-Advanced Carrier Aggregation (CA) testing solution for mobile network operators and network infrastructure vendors.
     
    CA refers to the process of increasing the transmission bandwidths over those that can be supported by a single carrier or channel by utilising more than one carrier or channel that might be located in many different spectrum bands.
     
    Anite said its new Nemo Outdoor platform allows operators to monitor the performance and quality of their LTE-A networks by providing comprehensive information about the primary and secondary component carriers, including physical cell ID, signal levels and quality.

    “Key industry players are already preparing for LTE-A and carrier aggregation deployments,” commented Petri Toljamo, Managing Director at Anite’s Network Testing business. 
     
    “With our help operators can make sure their networks are optimised for providing the high data rates their customers are demanding,” he added
