This webinar provides an overview of new developments in the design of mobile radio base stations.

Compared with previous technology rollouts (2G, 3G, 3.5G), LTE is by far the fastest adapted technology that the wireless industry has seen up to now. But despite today’s LTE deployments being advertised as 4G by all marketing departments of all network operators, strictly speaking they are not 4G.

When it comes to LTE/LTE-A modem development, achieving standard compliance is a key requirement. Planning for an integrated verification and testing flow from concept to implementation is mandatory to avoid late-minute surprises.

Commercial LTE Release 8 networks have been launched worldwide. The features of 3GPP Release 9 further enhance LTE, and first implementations are now being designed.

Insights into the test challenges involved in rolling out LTE, are presented by Meik Kottkamp, Technology Manager for Rohde & Schwarz, at the LTE World Summit 2011 in Amsterdam.

The new test solution is based on the R&S®CMW500 wideband radio communication tester and the R&S®UPV audio analyzer which allows signaling and audio quality tests for VoLTE.

First LTE FDD networks have been already launched.

First commercial LTE networks have been launched and many more are expected to follow in near future.

LTE (long term evolution) is an advanced and complex technology that uses two different transmission schemes in the downlink and the uplink.

LTE is standardized by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).
