Spirent Communications has integrated its Spirent 8100 Carrier Acceptance and Conformance test solution with Keysight Technologies’ UXM platform to offer an advanced solution for testing maximum data throughput performance for LTE-Advanced carrier aggregation. The new testing coverage supported by the Keysight UXM enables the Spirent 8100 to offer cutting-edge capabilities such as three and four component carrier aggregation, supporting both FD-LTE and TD-LTE technologies.
According to Spirent, the 8100 X202 addresses the capacity crunch that mobile operators and device vendors are facing as additional carrier aggregation tests are being mandated. The 8100 X202 is currently being validated by leading operators in North America and China for carrier aggregation device acceptance testing.
