Tektronix, LitePoint Team Up on LTE Standard

Tektronix and LitePoint, a provider of wireless test system solutions, have announced a collaborative solution to LTE product development. LitePoint's RSALTE software is designed to run on Tektronix RSA3000A/B and RSA6100A real-time spectrum analyzers and is designed for 3.9G compliance support for designers of UMTS-Long-Term Evolution (LTE) systems.

In the battle to provide broadband wireless connectivity that supports voice, data and multimedia, WiMAX and LTE are the prime contenders. The LTE standard is still evolving, but the latest version - RP-39, version 8.20, 3/20/2008 - is advanced enough to enable system development to progress.
