Azimuth Systems Press Release - July 12, 2011

Azimuth Systems Strengthens its Position as the Leading Global Provider of Real World Wireless Test Solutions
During the First Half of 2011
- Company Achieves Substantial Gains in Revenue and Customer Growth;
Adds Unmatched New Capabilities to Product Line
ACTON, MA – July 12, 2011 – Azimuth Systems, Inc., a leading provider of comprehensive real world wireless
test solutions for 2G/3G/4G, LTE-Advanced and beyond, today announced that it has achieved continued record
profitable growth and expansion in the first half of 2011; as of mid year 2011, Azimuth has experienced a more
than 50% increase in bookings as compared to the first half of 2010. Azimuth has also expanded its rapidly-growing
customer base with the addition of several new customers worldwide, including the world’s number one mobile
infrastructure provider, Nokia Siemens Networks.
The company’s growth is largely due to the success of Azimuth’s field-proven, solutions-focused real world
wireless test equipment that increases the scope of lab testing, while also bridging the wireless ecosystem,
resulting in high quality devices that perform as expected in the field. Azimuth continues its commitment to
technology innovation by integrating support for leading-edge technologies such as TD-LTE and higher order MIMO
into all products, as well as the introduction of several new products and features.
In March of 2011, Azimuth announced the Azimuth RPM Real World Performance Measurement Solution (ACE OTA). Azimuth
RPM provides a cost-effective, practical and powerful platform for enhanced SISO/MIMO data throughput performance
testing with a true over-the-air modeling framework. The Azimuth RPM solution combines a compact mobile isotropic
chamber with the award-winning ACE MX MIMO channel emulator to create an environment where devices can be tested
in the same mode as they are used in real-world conditions. Unlike traditional over-the-air test solutions, RPM
leverages the Azimuth mobile isotropic chamber to create a truly 3D isotropic environment in a small portable form
factor without forsaking technical accuracy. The Azimuth mobile isotropic chamber is small enough to fit through
most standard doorways, eliminating many of the logistical challenges commonly associated with over-the-air
testing. Azimuth RPM will launch with first commercial deliveries scheduled later this year.
Earlier this
year, Azimuth also announced several cutting-edge new features to its trusted Azimuth Field-to-Lab™ (FTL)
solution, designed to help customers further improve product quality and reduce time-to-market. Most notably,
Azimuth’s Field-to-Lab solution is the first in the industry that allows users to automate the entire testbed by
using DIRECTOR II Test Builder, a modular, intuitive, non-programming environment which allows even novice users
to automate testing. The Azimuth Field-to-Lab automation architecture also facilitates sharing of automation
modules not only within individual companies, but also across entire ecosystems, driving consistency in the way
things are tested -- and providing more reliable and repeatable results.
Additionally, enhancements to the
ACE MX MIMO channel emulator were introduced to enable users to test 3GPP carrier aggregation (R10 and R11)
scenarios with very little effort, making the ACE MX channel emulator the platform of choice for LTE-Advanced
testing due to its superior RF characteristics and support for higher order MIMO topologies, beamforming and
complex transmission schemes.
“We have worked tirelessly to make Azimuth Systems the gold standard in
wireless test by providing solutions-focused, user-configurable real world wireless test equipment that makes
testing and deployment of wireless products more affordable and reliable than ever before,” said Jim Iuliano,
president and CEO of Azimuth Systems. “As technology becomes increasingly complex, Azimuth has become the trusted
lifecycle partner to support our customers’ dynamically changing needs regardless of the technology, whether 3G,
4G, LTE-Advanced or beyond. The substantial growth that the company has experienced over the past few years is
truly a testament to the industry’s need for Azimuth’s advanced real world wireless test solutions, and we look
forward to meeting these needs for many years to come.”
Azimuth has continued to develop its focus on
partnerships and solutions through establishment of the Azimuth Solutions Development team led by Director of
Solutions, Deepak Das. The charter of the solutions team at Azimuth is to work closely with customers throughout
the wireless ecosystem to automate a wide range of test requirements and create new solutions based on Azimuth
products.
Azimuth has also illustrated its industry-wide support by working closely with other leading
test system vendors such as Anite. Anite recently announced a new test solution that includes carrier based
scripts to address the need for LTE data throughput performance testing in the laboratory environment. The Anite
LTE data performance solution is based on its SAS network simulator for device interoperability testing, the Anite
9000 Mobile Test Accelerator platform and Azimuth Systems’ ACE MX wireless channel emulator.
The market
strength of Azimuth’s real world wireless test solutions was further validated by the receipt of Test and
Measurement World’s Best in Test Award for the Azimuth Field-to-Lab solution in April of 2011, which honors
important and innovative new products and services in the electronics test and measurement industry that
demonstrate superior technical innovation in the marketplace. The award marks the second consecutive year that
Azimuth was selected as the winner of the Wireless Test category through votes cast by the test and measurement
community, from a field that included five other leading wireless test solutions (the 2010 honor went to Azimuth’s
ACE MX MIMO channel emulator.)
