Anite Demonstrates Peak Data Rates of 300 Mbps Using Three Component Carrier Aggregation

FLEET, England, August 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

Achievement accelerates development of LTE-Advanced devices

Anite, a global leader in wireless equipment testing technology, announced today that it has achieved peak data rate throughput of 300 Mbps with 40 MHz bandwidth using three Component Carrier Aggregation ("3 CC CA"). This milestone was achieved in close collaboration with a leading mobile chipset manufacturer.

Early availability of key features in Anite's testing solutions enables customers to develop LTE-Advanced ("LTE-A") products in line with market requirements. LTE-A Carrier Aggregation ("CA") enables mobile operators with limited contiguous frequency allocations to realise superior data rates through combining spectrum resources. End-users will benefit from the higher data rates as they download and access bandwidth intensive content such as video and online games on their mobile devices.

Three carriers with downlink bandwidths of 20 MHz, 10 MHz and 10 MHz were used to achieve the 300 Mbps (Category 6) on Anite's Development Toolset. Ultimately, aggregation of three Component Carriers - with 20 MHz bandwidth each - allows mobile operators to deliver downlink data rates to end-users of up to 450 Mbps.

"The 3 CC CA achievement underlines how Anite's collaborative relationships with key industry players and its advanced technology roadmap accelerate the development of LTE-A CA chipsets and devices," says Paul Beaver, Products Director at Anite.
