Paris, September 16, 2013 - ERCOM has announced that its Carrier Aggregation (CA) feature on its LTE test equipment Mobipass is fully in production and currently being used by Tier1 OEM Vendors, ahead of this week’s LTE Asia.

LTE-A (LTE-Advanced) is progressing rapidly in the market especially in South Korea, Japan and US.

CA is a major feature requested by many LTE MNOs to enhance the user experience of their customers. This technology is able to deliver higher speeds to end-users and increase the quality of the radio coverage by taking advantages of extended bandwidth and multi-frequency radio wave propagation effects. For getting all benefits from CA, advanced testing and optimisation tools are required to master all the complex network parameters contributing to the end-user quality of experience. Mobipass, the leading LTE UE emulation tool, with its unique multi-UE channel emulation capability, is the tool that will help network vendors and MNOs tune and deploy first class CA service. Existing Mobipass customers can easily be upgraded to CA features.

Guy Lecurieux Lafayette, VP marketing at ERCOM, says: “We are delighted to see more and more demand from Mobile Network Operators looking for a solution to test CA features. Mobipass which is already used by the network vendor guarantees a working solution in MNO labs also.”

ERCOM will demonstrate Mobipass at LTE Asia in Singapore 18-19 September on booth #41A, as well at LTE North America in Dallas 21-22 November on booth #28E. If you are attending the event, please feel free to visit the booth, or alternatively arrange a meeting by contacting Dana Corson on [email protected].
