• Tested: XCAL/XCAP have been used in all major LTE trials

• Early market leader: We were the first one to support LTE chipsets/devices

• “Korean connection”: We have close relationship with Samsung and LGE, and XCAL will          

follow their API changes quickly

• Experience:We have experience working with many different WiMAX chipset vendors and• Experience: We have experience working with many different WiMAX chipset vendors and   

have gone through firmware changes cycle; nobody else has that breadth of experience

• Speed: Our R&D team implements new API and resolves issues very quickly

• Extensive chipset support: XCAL/XCAP will support all major LTE chipsets

• Technical expertise: We make sophisticated LTE BSE, Air Sniffer, EPC Emulator, too!

S h i d d i & i l i C ll h d i h XCAL• Synchronized drive test & post‐processing tool pair: Collect the data with XCAL, post‐
