ETS-Lindgren and Anritsu Collaborate to Advance Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) Device Testing
Antenna
Measurement Systems Add NB-NTN Test Support
CEDAR PARK, Texas – June 11, 2024 –
ETS-Lindgren, the global leader in over-the-air (OTA) performance testing, and
Anritsu, a pioneer in telecommunications testing technology, are pleased to
announce test support for devices using Narrow Band NTN (NB-NTN) protocol.
This collaboration combines the
strengths of both companies, offering a comprehensive solution for the testing
and validation of NB-NTN devices. The partnership leverages Anritsu’s MT8821C Radio Communication Analyzer, a
trusted solution for RF verification and functional tests of mobile devices,
with ETS-Lindgren’s EMQuest™ Antenna Measurement Software
and Wireless Test Solutions.
Anritsu’s MT8821C supports cellular technologies, including LTE-Advanced and IoT, in accordance with 3GPP RF test specifications. The MT8821C, known for its wide dynamic range, maintains a stable wireless connection even in challenging, high loss environments. Its ability to prevent unexpected disruptions during extensive OTA testing reduces the total time required for OTA tests. Added features include test support for Skylo NTN Test Cases.
James Young, Director of Wireless
Solutions at ETS-Lindgren, stated, “NB-NTN is generating some excitement in the
wireless space, so we are pleased with how quickly the integration with the
MT8821C was accomplished. OTA labs can add NB-NTN technology support with an
easy upgrade to instrumentation and software, plus capture the demand generated
as mobile network operators pick satellite partners and talk about the
possibilities of cellular services from space.”
The collaboration between ETS-Lindgren
and Anritsu is not just about technology. It's a significant step toward the
realization of a prosperous network society, especially in remote and
underserved areas where delivering terrestrial cell network coverage is
challenging. By combining our expertise, we continue to pave the way for
innovative solutions that will revolutionize the telecommunications industry
and contribute to society.
