Spirent Leads the Conversation on MIMO OTA testing and Channel Emulation at EDI CON

March 6, 2014

0 Comments

Modern wireless technologies such as LTE (including LTE-Advanced and TD-LTE) rely on Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) and beamforming technology to deliver higher data rates, greater coverage, and lower operational costs. However, RF testing of base station and mobile device receivers is both complex and critical. A leader in the art of RF channel emulation, Spirent offers the most accurate, efficient and complete solutions for testing modern receivers including realistic MIMO emulation, OTA testing and virtual drive testing. Spirent will be discussing its MIMO OTA solutions as a Gold Sponsor of EDI CON 2014 and host of the MIMO OTA expert panel.
