Azimuth Systems' ACE MX MIMO Channel Emulator for LTE and WiMAX TestACTON, MA – August 30, 2010Azimuth Systems, Inc., a leading provider of wireless channel emulators and broadband wireless test equipment, today announced that the company’s ACE™ MX MIMO channel emulator has been selected by MindTree Ltd for testing of its Next in Wireless (NIW) group which is part of their Product Engineering Business Unit. MindTree will use the ACE MX universal wireless channel emulator primarily for 4x4 bi-directional LTE and WiMAX testing. The solution will allow them to test their TDD and FDD products in different bands, as well as to test advanced MIMO capabilities like beamforming.

MindTree delivers mobile and telecom infrastructure products for OEMs and telecom service providers. The Company’s wireless products group provides white-labeled products with high-end technology and design innovation. MindTree chose the ACE MX wireless channel emulator for testing of its Next in Wireless “off-the-shelf” and customized 3G/4G smart phones,  IPs, subsystems and base stations for WiMAX and LTE technologies, because of the platform’s ease-of-use and simplicity of setup that will save training time. The ACE MX will also support MindTree’s focus of getting its products to market faster.
 
“MindTree’s customers rely on our competence to provide the right mix of product differentiation through compelling and well-defined user experiences and cutting-edge performance, as well as faster go-to market capabilities,” said Dr. Sriram N. Suresh, technical manager of MindTree. “By using Azimuth’s ACE MX wireless channel emulator to test our Next in Wireless product line, MindTree will improve upon its excellent track record of converting WiMAX and LTE theoretical specifications into superior real-world products that address the specific needs of this segment.”
 
Azimuth’s ACE MX wireless channel emulator provides the advanced features required for efficient, automated and repeatable testing of next generation carrier-grade WiMAX and LTE solutions. The ACE MX wireless channel emulator provides dynamic channel emulation that scales for testing single channel devices up to MIMO 4X4 devices – or even up to 8X4 MIMO – and includes dedicated bi-directional channel modeling that can accurately emulate real world wireless over-the-air conditions in both the downlink and uplink paths simultaneously.
 
“As MindTree is widely respected for the quality and reliability of its wireless product line, the fact that the company chose the ACE MX MIMO channel emulator for its WiMAX and LTE testing needs is a powerful validation of our product’s advanced capabilities,” said Pete Paglia, vice president of sales and business development at Azimuth Systems. “We are pleased that the ACE MX wireless channel emulator will allow MindTree to continue to create the high quality, high performance products that their company is known for.”
