Aifas launches the industry's most authentic LTE service Test flow scenario

UK Stevenage-November 29, 2012-AIFAS Holdings (Aeroflex LC Corp., NYSE: ARX) 's wholly owned subsidiary Aifas Limited (Aeroflex 2¥q) announced that the company's E500 The LTE functional test platform now supports a wide range of IP data Services. By increasing end-to-end data Services, the industry-leading functional performance of E500 is further refined, providing network equipment vendors and mobile network operators with the most authentic, lab-based LTE End-to-end testing solution in the marketplace.

The data business portfolio is provided by a customized Shenick diversifeye™ solution that incorporates a variety of real-world data applications that are composed of independent, single data epidemics, including web browsing, streaming video, and voice services based on LTE (VoLTE).

"We are delighted to be able to combine our proprietary technology with the AIFAS test platform," said Robert Winters, Shenick's chief marketing officer. "Today's rigorous data-use scenarios mean that full understanding of the limits of performance and quality is critical to mobile operators and infrastructure system providers." AIFAS introduces Network Load test systems with the industry's most realistic scenarios, helping to explore these limits from the RF end to the data packet cores. It has been achieved through our mutual cooperation, and we can replicate real-world user behavior patterns accurately by providing real client and server applications. ”

Using the Aifas E500 capacity test system enables operators and vendors to have confidence in the performance of their network devices before starting a large-scale outfield test. As LTE networks expand on a larger scale, both suppliers and operators need to implement capacity and stability testing. Hundreds of to tens of thousands of user devices (UE) must be loaded for the network, and each user device is subjected to a potentially different radio fading curve in a multiple-cellular environment following a different flow combination. The E500 capacity test system supports all of these features, enabling test cases in the lab to validate harsh real-world mobile network scenarios.

"Operators need to understand at an early stage whether their networks can provide their customers with a variety of RF channel fading and traffic combinations, provide the high quality user experience you need, such as image uploads, web browsing, volte calls, or streaming video," Aifas Senior product manager Nick Carter said. "Our integrated E500 testing system makes it possible to rigorously test the performance of the entire LTE system under real-world conditions," he said. ”
