When it comes to providing solutions for designing, testing, and manufacturing devices using emerging technologies, companies around the globe depend on innovative solutions from Agilent Technologies. Our engineers—experts in test and measurement—have dedicated their careers to understanding the intricacies of these evolving technologies, to provide you with the solutions you need, when you need them. So, as you move LTE forward, we’re here to clear the way. One of the latest industry developments is the creation of long term evolution (LTE) standards by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). Currently under development, the LTE specifi cations are scheduled to be completed by March 2008 with initial test specifi cations by September 2008 for system deployment in the 2009 to 2010 timeframe. This document provides an overview of LTE and demonstrates how Agilent solutions can help you introduce quality LTE 3GPP devices. Agilent is committed to the continued development and introduction of new products to meet specifi c LTE measurement challenges as they are identifi ed. For example, as LTE moves toward commercial deployment, Agilent will provide manufacturers and wireless communication service providers with the tools to successfully speed time to market and maximize their return on investment.
