mimoOn has shipped its advanced LTE Test-Mobile, mi!TestMOBILE, to a major infrastructure manufacturer in the Asia Pacific region.  

mimoOn did not name the customer. mi!TestMOBILEâ„¢ is expected to be used to test customer's Femtocell designs initially in the lab, and later for field trials.

According to Brian Robertson, VP Sales & Marketing of mimoOn, “This is a major milestone for mimoOn as it validates our belief in SDR enabling low cost, flexible and scalable platforms for LTE.  With our first commercial deliveries, miTestMOBILEâ„¢ can also start to enable our customers to test, mature and evolve their own solutions for the explosive growth that will happen in LTE over the next years”.

mi!TestMOBILEâ„¢ is a small and low-cost, fully featured test mobile for the rapid deployment and optimization of LTE networks, products and applications.  With its SDR based platform, mi!TestMOBILEâ„¢ is able to evolve to the emerging 3GPP standards, enabling customers to upgrade & test their network, devices and eNB solutions in a low cost, fast and effective manner, ensuring quality of service to their end customers. mi!TestMOBILEâ„¢ relies on mimoOn’s terminal software product mi!Mobileâ„¢, which is also available for licensing on different chip platforms.

mi!TestMOBILEâ„¢ offers advantages for the entire mobile ecosystem. It enables infrastructure OEMs to test their base-station equipment prior to deployment, and handset and semiconductor OEMs can benchmark their reference designs prior to general availability. With its small form factor and battery pack option, mi!TestMOBILEâ„¢ is also suited to field and drive testing.  In addition, mi!TestMOBILEâ„¢ is not tied to any particular base-station or core network design, so it offers operators a neutral way to compare vendor capabilities and test actual network performance prior to switching on LTE.
