Artiza’s Solutions for NTT docomoArtiza’s eNodeB Tester DuoSIM-A has further enhanced NTT docomo's activities for network reliability evaluation with its small footprint, low power consumption, and excellent cost performance. NTT docomo develops and evaluates multiple models of LTE eNBs according to location, cell size, and number of users. Artiza's DuoSIM has become the cornerstone that sets the quality standards of NTT docomo's comprehensive LTE eNB development through its flexible functionalities and performance. NTT docomo is currently using multiple installations of high-capacity DuoSIM LTE eNB testers.
NTT docomo’s AdvancesIn March 2015 NTT docomo launched its LTE-Advanced next-generation mobile communication service featuring a Japan-best 225 Mbps maximum data-transmission speed. The use of Carrier Aggregation technology enabled docomo to achieve its ultra-high speed downlink. In 2016, docomo implemented TDD+FDD joint operation and new CA frequency combinations, including in the 3.5 GHz band, to further accelerate speeds to 375 Mbps in May. Docomo has set plans to introduce 4x4 MIMO and reach 500 Mbps before the end of Q1 2017.
Advanced C-RAN and the DuoSIM-AA unique feature of docomo's LTE-Advanced service is its introduction of Advanced C-RAN, a network architecture that combines C-RAN and Carrier Aggregation to increase radio capacity and maximum transmission speed simultaneously especially in high-traffic areas. Artiza’s DuoSIM-A eNB tester is the testbed that enabled docomo to develop and verify this technology, and is currently the only proven C-RAN test solution in the market.
