Anritsu Company Introduces First Handheld Mobile WiMAX Test Solution for Network Deployment, Installation, and Maintenance

Anritsu Company introduces the first Mobile WiMAX handheld test
solution specifically designed for deploying, installing, and
maintaining Mobile WiMAX networks. Incorporated into Anritsu's
award-winning BTS Master and Spectrum Master platforms, the Mobile
WiMAX test capability provides field engineers, technicians and
contractors with an easy and highly accurate method for conducting RF,
demodulation, and Over-The-Air (OTA) measurements on WiMAX signals.

The Mobile WiMAX measurement capability has been designed into
three options to provide users with flexibility. The Mobile WiMAX RF
Measurements option can be used to measure the transmitted signal
strength and signal shape of a transmitter. When configured with the
RF Measurement option, the handheld analyzers can conduct Channel
Spectrum, Power versus Time (with 5 ms and 10 ms frame lengths), and
ACPR measurements. RF summary screens can also be displayed with the
option.

Engineers and technicians can use the Mobile WiMAX Demodulator to
analyze OFDMA signals and display detailed measurements for evaluating
transmitter modulation performance. The measurement screens that can
be displayed are constellation (QPSK, 16 QAM, 64 QAM), spectral
flatness, EVM versus subcarrier, EVM versus symbol, DL MAP with
automatic decoding, and modulation summary.

A channel power monitor measurement is part of the Mobile WiMAX
OTA option and allows a specific channel's power over time and
specified interval to be analyzed. This feature can be combined with a
GPS feature so that measurement data can include GPS location and time
data for plotting on a map. Anritsu's powerful Master Software Tools
enable easy integration into MapInfo Professional(R) and Microsoft
MapPoint maps.

All the options can be used with the MT8222A BTS Master, and the
Spectrum Master MS2721B, MS2723B, and MS2724B analyzers. Weighing less
than nine pounds, the MT8222A is the smallest, lightest, and most
economical handheld solution for complete 2G/3G/4G base station
testing. The MS2721B, MS2723B, and MS2724B are the most advanced
ultra-portable 7.1 GHz, 13 GHz, and 20 GHz spectrum analyzers on the
market.

The introduction of the Mobile WiMAX test and analysis capability
continues Anritsu's commitment to providing test solutions designed to
expedite the deployment of new technologies. Anritsu introduced the
world's first handheld Fixed WiMAX test solution earlier this year.
Anritsu also has test solutions that can be used during the design and
manufacture of WiMAX devices and systems.

Delivery is 4-6 weeks ARO at introduction and 2-4 weeks after two
months.
