The ACE MX2 MIMO channel emulator is based on Azimuth’s award-winning ACE MX channel emulator hardware platform and has been designed to create accurate and repeatable results within the laboratory environment. The ACE MX2 delivers on the performance, channel density and future-proofing requirements demanded by the marketplace for accurate real world wireless testing, while meeting the demanding facilities requirements of modern test labs. It is the smallest, quietest, highest channel density, MIMO channel emulator available today, while also offering the lowest power consumption.

Deliberately engineered to support the latest wireless network architectures evaluated and deployed around the globe, the ACE MX2 MIMO channel emulator supports implementation of complex MU-MIMO test beds as well as evaluation of Carrier Aggregation scenarios. The ACE MX2 MIMO channel emulator also features built-in real time fading, including industry standard models or custom designed models that allow users to recreate a variety of typical MIMO scenarios for accurate performance and interoperability testing, with up to 64 channels availablein a scalable configuration.

The ACE MX2 MIMO channel emulator’s world-class features include industry-leading RF fidelity; TDD and FDD operation; bi-directional operation in a single unit; support from SISO up to 8×4 MIMO systems; and a user-friendly, advanced management interface. Enhanced features also include new automation capabilities such as Azimuth’s latest benchmarking module for multiple UEs, and new ease of use features that make it easier to analyze and compare results – all in a scalable and modular solution that integrates with all of Azimuth’s existing solutions including FTL Field-to-Lab and RPM Real World Performance Measurement.

The Azimuth ACE MX2 delivers:

• Advanced Support for Carrier Aggregation including 50MHz AWGN
• Advanced Channel Modeling
•  Rapid Set-up and Automation
