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