ETS-Lindgren Installs First Anechoic MIMO OTA Test Laboratory at AT4 wireless in Malaga, Spain

CEDAR PARK, Texas April 19, 2015 - AT4 wireless announced the opening of a new Laboratory for MIMO Over-the-Air (OTA) test measurements at its Malaga, Spain headquarters. The fully anechoic-lined Antenna Measurement System (AMS), ETS-Lindgren Model AMS-8700, is the first such chamber type for AT4 wireless. The chamber features a horizontal ring with 16 antennas which generate single and multi-cluster environments. An Anite Propsim F32 channel emulator completes the wireless system solution ETS-Lindgren designed for conducting radiated performance measurements of cellular and wireless devices in a multipath environment simulating a wide range of real-world scenarios. AT4 wireless can now effectively support the R&D and pre-testing projects demanded from its customers using its new high quality anechoic test chamber and its experienced technical team.We have enjoyed a partnership with AT4 wireless and Anite for many years, said Bryan Sayler, ETS-Lindgrens Senior Vice-President, Solutions Development. As demand for ever faster wireless networks increases, device manufacturers and network operators are increasingly depending upon multiple antenna technologies. The AMS-8700 boundary array enables AT4 wireless to simulate a wide range of real world RF spatial channel models to assess their impact upon wireless device performance.Juan Carlos Soler, Global Regulatory Labs Manager, AT4 wireless, S.A. added, This new laboratory in Spain features our first anechoic MIMO OTA facility for the AT4 wireless group enabling us to meet the emerging test requirements from CTIA, 3GPP and other international standards bodies. We expect other locations may follow as the market evolves.About AT4 wirelessAT4 wireless is a leading network of testing laboratories offering world-class services for carrier device acceptance, performance, conformance, regulatory, field, functional and interoperability testing as well as worldwide compliance and type approval consulting in over 200 countries.
