Anite announced that its latest version of Nemo Outdoor supports Carrier Aggregation (CA) and Category 6 devices on Aug 28, Anite.com writes, noting that Nemo Outdoor is a laptop-based drive test solution for wireless network testing which supports over 270 terminals and scanning receivers from a range of vendors and all major network technologies.

Operators worldwide are currently in the testing and trialing phase of carrier aggregation and are launching LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) networks with the first phase of Cat 6 devices, using two carrier components with downlink bandwidths of 20 MHz. The alignment of the latest network features and testing application capabilities is crucial for operators to verify and optimize LTE-A features to ensure they are in line with market requirements.

With LTE-A carrier aggregation, mobile operators can achieve superior data rates through combined spectrum resources. For end-users this means faster access to the internet, smoother content streaming and improved mobile services.
