Simulator uses 20 simultaneous 100Mbps data streams to achieve peak throughput

Anritsu has worked with Qualcomm Technologies to successfully confirm peak download speeds of 2Gbps. The presentation uses a mobile test device, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon X24 LTE modem and a network simulator using 5CC with 4x4 MIMO, and 256-QAM modulation on all five carriers. Using the mobile test device and the Anritsu MT8821C LTE Simulator, the company can successfully demonstrate stable physical layer download speeds of 2Gbps. "Anritsu is pleased to once again work with Qualcomm Technologies in support of our latest advancements - breaking the multi-gigabit barrier for wireless communications," said Paul Innis, vice president and general manager of Anritsu Company. "This achievement builds on our previous announcement with Qualcomm Technologies of LTE Category 16 in February 2016. We look forward to continuing to provide test solutions that enable the development of consumer mobile devices that use this new data rate breakthrough." The solution will be demonstrated at Mobile World Congress, Hall 6, Stand F40.
