Deutsche Telekom AG Uses Azimuth Systems’ ACE MX Wireless Channel Emulator for LTE, 2G/3G Test
- Features Bi-Directional Channel Modeling to Accurately Perform Base Station, Terminal and Network
Testing

ACTON, MA – September 27, 2010 - Azimuth Systems Inc., a leading provider of wireless channel emulators and
broadband wireless test equipment, today announced that Deutsche Telekom AG Germany has chosen the ACE™ MX MIMO
channel emulator to support its broadband wireless testing needs. Deutsche Telekom AG will use the ACE MX wireless
channel emulator in its 2x2 bidirectional configuration for wide-ranging eNodeB LTE testing including intra-RAT
and inter-RAT handovers. In addition, the ACE MX MIMO channel emulator will be used for 2G/3G base station
testing, terminal testing and network optimization.
Deutsche Telekom AG Germany chose Azimuth’s ACE MX wireless channel emulator platform because of its
superior RF fidelity, inherent bi-directional capability, scalability and unmatched ease-of-use. Superior RF
performance and bi-directionality are necessary for simultaneous, accurate and repeatable testing of uplink and
downlink communications between base station and mobile terminals/devices. The ACE MX wireless channel emulator’s
scalability makes setup and testing of SISO to advanced MIMO configurations quick and easy. Configuration and
calibration of the ACE MX MIMO channel emulator is simple and fast, as all the necessary RF components are
included inside the platform. The ACE MX channel emulator’s ability to support multiple types of testing, such as
conformance, interoperability and performance testing, for all SISO and MIMO cellular technologies was important
to Deutsche Telekom AG as well.
“Azimuth’s ACE MX MIMO channel emulator allows Deutsche Telekom AG Germany to thoroughly and reliably test
several key elements of our world-class mobile service offering and ultimately enables us to help maintain the
level of quality that customers have come to expect from Deutsche Telekom AG,” said Herbert Bayer, GSM LTE System
Introduction Team of Deutsche Telekom AG Germany. “In addition, the flexibility to test next generation LTE
products with the same equipment used to test 2G/3G products provides tremendous benefits in terms of internal
resources, time-to-market and overall ROI.”
The ACE MX wireless channel emulator replicates real-world
channel conditions in a controllable and repeatable fashion through the use of complex channel models and multiple
programmable parameters, enabling mobile infrastructure, chip set and device vendors, operators and test labs to
test devices in real-world conditions while minimizing the time and expense of testing in the actual real world. A
purpose-built, enhanced testing solution, the ACE MX wireless channel emulator is architected to meet the
demanding needs of Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing
(OFDM)-based systems for testing WiMAX, LTE and other advanced wireless infrastructure equipment and devices, and
also includes all of the backwards-compatible channel emulation features to test 2G/3G cellular products.
“We have seen tremendous adoption of the ACE MX MIMO channel emulator in the US and internationally, and the
addition of the Deutsche Telekom AG Germany further validates its impact on the mobile industry worldwide,” said
Pete Paglia, vice president of sales and business development at Azimuth Systems. “We look forward to working with
the Deutsche Telekom AG Germany to help ensure the highest quality mobile services are delivered to its customers
-- now and into the future.”
