Aeroflex has delivered a TM500 Time Division Duplex-Long Term Evolution (TD-LTE) Test Mobile test system to the China Academy of Telecommunications Research (CATR) for TD-LTE trails conducted by leading Chinese and international network equipment vendors.

Aeroflex's TM500 Test Mobile is fully compliant with TD-LTE specifications, it can emulate Cat 3 and 4 user equipment (UE) with downlink data rates of up to 150 Mbps.

Aeroflex says that the TM500 Test Mobile systems can emulate an HSPA+ handset UE, LTE UE with 300Mbit/s performance, or multiple UEs for LTE development and capacity testing. Every major infrastructure vendor, and a majority of femtocell (miniature wireless base station) manufacturers, uses the TM500 throughout their product development cycle.

"Aeroflex's willingness to support the trials will provide valuable help in achieving the Chinese government's aim of building a complete TD-LTE eco-system and accelerating the commercialization of the technology," said Wei Ran, Deputy Director, Institute of Communication Standard Research, China Academy of Telecommunications Research.

"For the past 15 months, Aeroflex has worked closely with China Mobile and its network equipment suppliers to develop reliable, high-performance network equipment. We look forward to continuing our partnerships in China to ensure the success of TDLTE," said Jimmy Tan, vice president, Aeroflex Asia.
