Aricent and Wintegra are collaborating on a joint LTE eNodeB testing solution. The solution will integrate software and components from both companies, and is designed to accelerate the product development cycle of telecommunications equipment manufacturers’ LTE infrastructure as carriers’ deployment windows draw near. The integrated IODT platform is being demonstrated at Mobile World Congress 2010 and showcases end-to-end connectivity with an LTE CPE. 
Aricent’s LTE software frameworks will be integrated with Wintegra’s Layer 2 software and silicon to deliver a harmonized solution capable of high performance testing of eNodeB platforms from leading telecom equipment vendors. This joint approach was designed to help telecommunications equipment manufacturers reduce testing complexity and shorten time to market for a wide variety of LTE eNodeB products including pico, micro and macrocell base stations.
Aricent’s LTE software frameworks interface seamlessly to either Wintegra’s internal MIPS based host processor or to an external host processor through Wintegra’s Application Programming Interface (API). This combination emulates complete LTE Base Station functionality and security including key features such as Robust Header Compression (RoHC), Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) and Snow3G over-the-air security.
