Catapult Communications Corporation (NASDAQ: CATT) today announced
the release of its LTE User Equipment (UE) Simulation test system.
Capable of simulating thousands of UEs performing voice, video and
data calls over the Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI), the
patent-pending system addresses a previously unmet need in the
telecom test market for cost-effective, full-capacity LTE UE
simulation. This testing was previously performed using large banks
of manually operated user equipment, or performance was estimated
from low-capacity functional tests. Catapult's new system will help
the successful launch of LTE by ensuring that the performance
expectations for this newly defined mobile broadband service are
met.
Dr. Richard Karp, CEO of Catapult, said "We recognized that
there were several test systems available capable of simulating a
few dozen UEs for functional testing, but none for the
sophisticated high-capacity load tests necessary to validate the
capacity of new LTE network nodes. Catapult, with assistance from
PA Consulting, has worked over the past year and a half to design
and develop this high-capacity test system, a first of its kind in
the telecom test industry."
The LTE User Equipment Simulation system is based on Catapult's
new t600 microTCA chassis combined as a peripheral with Catapult's
flagship DCT2000� m500 platform. Connection to the eNode B under
test is accomplished using the CPRI standard, a cost-effective
method of optical and electrical connection without the need for
LTE radio heads. With its scalable architecture, the t600 chassis
supports from one to three sectors with up to 400 connected UEs per
sector. For each sector, single and multiple antenna architectures
up to 4x4 MIMO are supported.
During recent months, Catapult conducted trials of the new LTE
load simulation system with North American and East Asian equipment
manufacturers leading up to this global introduction. The LTE UE
Simulation system is a major addition to Catapult's portfolio of
DCT-based LTE eNodeB testing tools that provide a fully integrated
wraparound test configuration with complete control and
coordination between the simulated LTE UEs, adjacent eNode Bs and
the Enhanced Packet Core.
