TOKYO – Based on its recent analysis of theLTEand LTE-Advanced test equipment market, Frost & Sullivanrecognizes Artiza Networks, Inc. with the 2014 Global Frost & Sullivan Award for New Product Innovation Leadership. The effective use of customer intelligence, along with extensive R & D and rich experience in the LTE and LTE-A test equipment market, giveArtiza an edge in designing best-in-class solutions. Its innovations, such as the advanced centralized radio access network (Advanced C-RAN) test solution, DuoSIM, and DuoSIM-Advanced testers feature superior capabilities and boast industry-leading performance, energy efficiency, and low operational costs.

Artiza’s LTE/LTE-A Testers can simulate more than3,000 UEs per sector, while competing testers only support 200 to 400 UEs. ItsAdvanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA)platformaccommodates blades (baseband, CPU, and DSP array) as well as varied modules. This assorted set of blades and modules gives customers the flexibility to set the testbed to meet their specific performance and capacity needs.

“In tryingto successfully addresscustomers’evolving testing needs, Artiza ensured that itsinnovative, comprehensive application sets for both functional and load testing are based onits new DuoSIM-A concept,” said Frost & Sullivan Senior Research Analyst Olga Shapiro. “The DuoSIM-A targets next-generation technologies such as multi-antenna (MIMO), carrier aggregation (CA), and coordinated multipoint (CoMP), which are built on the high-end capabilities of the proven, standard DuoSIM testing equipment concept.”

Capabilities such as remotely connecting 48 cells or more for performing C-RAN testing, highest capacity simulation, and the integration of high-end interface capabilities into a single chassis are some of the reasons for Artiza’s global acceptance. The industry-leading simulation capacity of the DuoSIM-A AZP-1400,coupled with its lowestpower consumptionper UE,allowArtiza toincur the lowest CAPEXand OPEXper UE in the industry.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has developed an innovative element in a product by leveraging leading-edge technologies. The award recognizes the value-added features/benefits of the product and the increased ROI it offers customers, which, in turn, increases customer acquisition and overall market penetration potential.
