Anite has launched its ‘SAS-Lite’ network simulation solution that is designed to expand the range of real-world testing options and support rapid product development. The solution offers all the high-end features of the company’s interoperability tool ’SAS’ and creates a flexible upgrade path. The solution is designed to save time and money by building testing scenarios and scripts in a controlled and repeatable laboratory environment that reduce test times by 50%. Customers can save further by taking advantage of the product’s ability to execute playback scripts autonomously using the company’s comprehensive script campaign management and terminal control tools, which reduce the need for field trials. The product is available in single- or dual-cell emulator configurations with each cell covering the 3GPP GERAN and UTRAN standards as well as the HSPA+ standard. Modular upgrades enable easy expansion to other technologies, such as LTE (Long Term Evolution). The solution provides customers with the access to high-end application features of the company’s ’SAS’ product in a choice of two simple packages.
