/PRNewswire/ --

Rapid Growth of LTE has led to Increased Demand for Conformance and

Operator Acceptance Testing

Anite, a global leader in wireless device testing technology, today announced

that 7Layers, an international group of independent test laboratories, has

selected Anite's LTE device test solution for its conformance and operator

acceptance testing in the U.S.

7Layers' customers, targeting the U.S. market, expressed their preference for

the test laboratory to use Anite's LTE device test solution as it offers leading

test coverage for both PTCRB/GCF conformance and carrier specific testing.

This is of special value for the North American operators presently driving the

roll-out of LTE services. 7Layers selected an Anite LTE system to extend the

capability of its testing laboratory in

Irvine, California

. Anite's leading LTE

protocol system will help 7Layers ensure that its customers rapidly qualify for

and comply with the demanding certification programs of North American LTE

operators. 7Layers has been working with Anite for over ten years, providing

validation endorsements for Anite's test systems to industry bodies such as

PTCRB and GCF, and using Anite's 2G and 3G device testing solutions at a range

of its global facilities.

"7Layers has been instrumental in driving forward the industry test regimes in

North America

, working at the forefront of LTE device certification," said David

Bissonette, CEO at 7Layers Inc. "The LTE market in the U.S. has exploded and

there is a huge increase in demand for conformance and operator acceptance

testing. By adding Anite's LTE device test solution to our current range of LTE

test-equipment, we can enable our customers to have their mobile devices

tested much more quickly and consequently accepted earlier by leading

carriers.

"The LTE market is gathering significant momentum in the U.S. and it is crucial

that test laboratories in the region, such as 7Layers, have systems that will

allow them to keep pace," said Mike Bonin, Managing Director of Anite's

Handset Testing Business. "We are delighted that 7Layers has selected Anite to

progress their goal of assisting their customers in launching new LTE mobile

devices to the market in record time."
