EB AND MEDAV ANNOUNCE INTEROPERABILITY IN RADIO CHANNEL MEASUREMENT, MODELING AND EMULATION
Using accurate measured radio channel data provides the ideal environment for testing wireless devices and networks in the lab
Oulu, Finland / Uttenreuth, Germany - EB (Elektrobit), a leading developer of cutting edge embedded technology solutions for wireless and automotive industries and MEDAV, a leading provider of radio channel sounders announced their cooperation in developing interoperability between the MEDAV RUSK MIMO Channel Sounder and EB Propsim emulators. EB Propsim radio channel emulator customers now have the ability to use in their wireless testing data measured in the field with the MEDAV RUSK MIMO Channel Sounder.
"Conformance testing against basic industry standards is no longer enough in today's competitive markets. A laboratory environment where real world radio conditions can be repeated accurately is becoming a must for mobile device developers and operators. The unique and patented file-based emulation architecture and playback capability of EB Propsim radio channel emulators together with data measured by the MEDAV Sounder provide competitive advantage to our customers", said Antti Sivula, senior vice president of EB's Wireless Communications Tools Business. "We established this cooperation with MEDAV to provide our customers in a variety of wireless industry markets better access to state-of-the-art solutions to ensure they are testing beyond conformance for the most reliable wireless connection possible."
Actual field measurements performed with the MEDAV MIMO Channel Sounder provide the most accurate, real-life-like channel models for repeated tests in the laboratory. In this process the sounder acts like a recorder and the radio channel emulator as a projector, which plays back the recorded radio channel data. This can only be performed with an emulator that uses file-based emulation, allowing the same test run to be completed as many times as needed - and exactly in the same way.
"Measured data from different environments is already available in our library and we also perform radio channel measurement campaigns to customers as a service", said Horst Jonuscheit, director sales & business development in MEDAV. "By bringing together MEDAV's RUSK MIMO Channel Sounder data and EB Propsim emulator through a data interface, a big technical gap could be closed for customers worldwide. Users of these systems can now take advantage of the results attainable from the combined expertise of EB and MEDAV."
