XAir Module

XAir Module
Ixias new XAir module is the next-generation hardware for long term evolution (LTE) user equipment (UE) emulation. It delivers unparalleled LTE performance in the smallest footprint, providing the industrys highest UE density. This module allows LTE Advanced feature support. With Ixias XM and XG platforms, you can easily support multiple sectors. The XAir module supports complex subscriber modeling with: 1000 UEs per sector Voice (VoLTE), video, and data traffic support Quality of experience (QoE) analysis and scoring of each traffic stream Mobility over multiple sectors Channel modeling per UE

Each XAir board supports one sector, with 1Gigabit Ethernet (GE) ports connected to the IxLoad Xcellon NP or IxCatapult m500/p250 chassis. It supports a direct CPRI interface to an eNode B (eNB) or to Ixias Remote Radio Head r10 units that cover all FDD and TDD frequency bands.

Key Features

Highest density LTE UE emulation starting at 1000 connected active UEs per board Built-in high accuracy 10MHz clock for eNB synchronization Fully compatible with the Ixia XM and XG chassis and load modules for seamless testing with other Ixia hardware and test applications
