Anritsu Company announces it has successfully demonstrated peak throughput for an LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) device and network simulator using 3x Carrier Aggregation (3CA) and 4x4 MIMO with 256QAM modulation. Utilizing devices featuring the new Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ X16 LTE modem, a product of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, and the Anritsu MD8430A LTE Simulator, Anritsu is able to successfully show support for stable IP-layer data rates of up to 1 GBit/s in the downlink.

Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) and Anritsu Corporation announce their collaboration on Taiwan’s WLAN Offload field implementation using the Anritsu MD8475A Signalling Tester, under the support of the “Accelerating Mobile Broadband Service and Industry Development — Construct the testing environments for 4G+ network access and application” plan by the Department of Industrial Technology (DoIT) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA). The WLAN Offload testing services on this project are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2016.

Anritsu Company, a global provider of innovative test and measurement solutions for advanced and converged networks, announces the availability of OTDR modules for its next-generation Network Master™ Pro MT1000A all-in-one tester. These new OTDR modules can operate standalone or be simultaneously installed with an available multi-rate transport module to create a rugged, handheld solution that field technicians can use to ensure the performance of mobile, metro, access or long haul networks.

Anritsu Company announces an integrated test solution featuring its MP1800A BERT Signal Quality Analyzer (SQA) and innovative software by Granite River Labs (GRL) that simplifies calibration so engineers can conduct high-quality reproducible receiver and jitter tolerance tests on high-speed devices.

Anritsu Company introduces an E-band option for its ShockLine™ MS46500B series of 2- and 4-port performance Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) that addresses the market need to lower cost-of-test for E-band components. With the option installed, the MS46500B series can reduce production costs and more efficiently verify the performance of high-frequency passive components, such as antennas, filters, and duplexers, during manufacturing.

Anritsu Company continues to provide the most comprehensive test solutions for the installation and maintenance of legacy and emerging wireless networks with the introduction of a Video Inspection Probe (VIP) measurement mode for its Microwave Site Master™ S820E and Site Master™ S331L cable and antenna analyzers. The new VIP mode, a no-cost feature included with firmware revision V1.17 or higher, specifically addresses the ever-growing requirement to inspect optical fiber cables used to carry traffic data and signaling up/down to/from the radio hardware in modern wireless communication systems.

Anritsu Company expands its Electromagnetic Field (EMF) Measurement System with the introduction of isotropic antennas that provide frequency coverage from 9 kHz to 6 GHz. Compatible with certain LMR Master™, Spectrum Master™, and Cell Master™ handheld analyzers, the new antennas support measurements of EMF radiation to ensure wireless networks are in compliance with various national standards for personal safety established by government regulatory authorities.

Anritsu Company announces that it has extended the frequency coverage of its MS46322A Series ShockLine™ Economy Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) and MS46122A Series ShockLine Compact VNAs to 43.5 GHz. By supporting the higher frequency, the low-cost VNAs can efficiently conduct S-parameter and time domain measurements on RF and microwave passive devices up to 43.5 GHz in a variety of cost-sensitive engineering, manufacturing and university testing applications.

Anritsu Company introduces a scalar transmission option for its MS46121A PC-controlled ShockLine™ 1-port USB Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) that transforms multiple MS46121A models into a simple scalar system. This new option enables scalar measurements to be made between MS46121A VNAs in either a one-to-one (1 to 1) or one-to-many (1 to n) configuration, creating a flexible and affordable method of conducting magnitude-only transmission measurements for a wide variety of applications, including manufacturing test and student education.

Anritsu Corporation has released new functionality for the MD8475A, its world class network simulator, to provide the first laboratory hardware in the loop system level test for the European eCall system and Russian ERA/GLONASS system.
