Aeroflex opens India office

Aeroflex Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Aeroflex Holding Corp has announced the opening of its new office in Banglaore to be headed by Stephen Hire.

The Bangalore office will be the country's nucleus for Aeroflex’s sales, service, and application support for Aeroflex's test and measurement (T&M) products and systems.

''Aeroflex has been active in the Indian T&M market for over 50 years. Opening a new office in Bangalore will help us achieve a strategic regional goal of strengthening our presence and response time in India,'' said Stephen Hire, General Manager, Aeroflex India.

''Important new opportunities in India have been created by the awarding of the TD-LTE broadband wireless access licenses, the increasing presence of major R&D facilities, and the warming of defense ties between the United States and India. Aeroflex is a very strong player in these markets, making it the perfect time to increase our footprint in India,'' said Hire.

Aeroflex is adding two new S-Series digital RF signal generators to its product line—the SGD in 3 GHz and 6 GHz models—as well as and two new vector signal analyzers—the SVA, available in 6 GHz and 13 GHz models. The S-Series was first introduced a year ago with the launch of the SGA analog RF signal generators.

Aeroflex LTE leadership began with the delivery of test systems in 2007. It continues today with a complete range of end-to-end test systems that cover R&D, performance, service, and manufacturing test applications for TDD-LTE and FDD-LTE network equipment and terminals.

The TM500 Test Mobile family is in use with almost every base station manufacturer across the world, and can be regarded as the de facto standard for eNodeB development and testing. EAST500 is the only network capacity test solution that incorporates the proven Aeroflex TM500 LTE air interface.

The Aeroflex 7100 LTE Digital Radio Test Set is a complete one-box test system providing all the tools required for the measurement and characterization of user equipment (UE) chip sets and mobile terminals to 3GPP LTE standards, including optional signal fading simulation.

''With India’s first commercial launches expected in 2012 and no dates set for China’s LTE license awards, India may well become home to the world’s largest number of TD-LTE subscribers during 2012. We expect Aeroflex’s LTE products to aid India’s network launches,'' said Hire.
