October 9, 2009 | Aeroflex has announced that China Mobile Communications Company (CMCC) and Motorola are using Aeroflex's highly successful TM500 LTE test mobile at International Telecommunications Union's (ITU) Telecom World 2009 as part of China Mobile's TD-LTE booth demonstrations. Aeroflex's TM500 will be on display at the CMCC booth #4221 in Hall 4 from October 5-9, 2009. The TM500 LTE test mobile includes Category 4 throughput capabilities up to 150 Mb per second.

Part of Aeroflex's comprehensive LTE and TD-LTE test platform strategy, the TM500 LTE test mobile is designed to address the challenges of 3GPP TD-LTE network infrastructure development test and rollout. The TM500 TD-LTE's extensive Layer 1, Layer 2, and higher-layer test features make it an indispensable testing peer. It provides complete visibility into even the lowest layers of the radio modem by generating the detailed diagnostic data needed for engineers to verify the required functionality and optimise network operation and performance. The TM500 LTE reproduces both single and multiple UE (user equipment) configurations supporting both functional and load testing using the same platform.

"We want to accelerate growth of the TD-LTE industry. We are happy to help facilitate TD-LTE demonstrations with CMCC and Motorola at ITU 2009. This continues Aeroflex's long tradition of supporting customers with leading-edge mobile test solutions," said Evan Gray, Product Line Manager for the TM500 at Aeroflex Test Solutions.
